For those animal lovers among us, here are some Stampin Up card ideas with cats and dogs!
As we continue on with this series on retiring stamp sets: first, the cat:
This beautiful card by Gina Cardera uses the C is for Cat stamp set. Notice the cat is multicolored. (Just like real life!) I think she used this technique to create that look: Using a baby wipe, place a couple drops of ink from the ink refill bottles. Use two or three colors. The colors will spread and parts of them will blend into the other colors. Then you use this baby wipe as your stamp pad, and see what a pretty look you get!
The card uses the D is for Dog stamp set. One of the great things about these two sets is that they can used as sympathy cards for those who have lost their pets. The C is for Cat stamp set says "so sorry for the loss of your little friend" and the D is for Dog stamp set says "so sorry for the loss of your best friend". It is so thoughtful to remember those family and friends who are going through these losses.
One of my customers works at a Vet clinic and she makes hand made cards to send to all of the families of their patients who die. That's a great way to stand out from the crowd and provide that personal touch!
And isn't this card by Mary Haugen simply adorable? This is from the Friends Fur-ever stamp set. I particularly like one of the phrases in this stamp set: "sorry life's ruff right now".
So, there you have it! Stampin Up card ideas with cats and dogs! Three different sets to choose from. Which is your favorite?
