A special card for dog and cat lovers!!! The Pampered Pets Designer Series Paper with the Slimline Card Design will do it!
Here is a closer look at the dog card.
To make the card, start with these supplies.
The Stitched Squares are from the Stitched Shapes Dies. Layer each of them on a 2-1/2″ square of cardstock and decorate. The cats and even the words are cut out from the Pampered Pets Designer Series Paper. There is actually no stamping on these cards!
Did you know – these slimline cards fit right into a regular business envelope? No extra postage needed! Decorate the flap of the envelope and the recipient will know its “happy mail”!
If you want to make a special envelope to totally match your special card, this is what your envelopes can look like.
Just cut your paper and score this way.

(Any leftover pieces can be used on the inside of your card to add that “finishing touch”.)

Combine the Simply Citrus with the Jar of Flowers stamp set and you have a sweet lemonade card!
Randomly stamp the lemons and then color with the Stampin’ Blends to get this pretty look.
Even the backgrounds fill in nicely with the Light Pool Party color.
The masking technique was used for this card. Cut several masks at one time from a Post It note pad and keep the extras from later.
