Hi there! Today I’m sharing a few puppy themed cards that I created as a hostess gift for a couple who had us over for pizza last Friday. They run a shelter project finding homes for rescue dogs in Crete. They actually have seven dogs in their home now, so needless to say, my kids were in heaven.

I used some new dies from the Send Happiness release featuring the Lil Critters Dachshund & CZ Chunky Love You. For the background I just trimmed some strips of cardstock and adhered them on an angle. I also used some Sunny Studios pattern paper for the back of the Chunky Love You die cut.

This next card features the Lil Critters Schnauzer and CZ Chunky Love You dies. I used more Sunny Studios pattern paper on the background. I die cut a circle window frame using one of the Nested Circles dies. For the backing of the Chunky Love You die cut I used Pinkfresh Studio pattern paper.

This last card uses the Picture Book Labrador die with a sentiment from the CZ Happy Days stamp set. I added more strips of solid colored cardstock for the background.

Now all I need now is to get invited to dinner by a couple who owns a monkey shelter, lol! Then I would be in absolute heaven hanging with all the moneys, and could make a pack of monkey cards for the hostess. Not that I don’t love dogs. I love dogs, cats, monkeys and french fries:) Thanks so much for stopping by!
