My Playful Pets Thank You Cards

Today I am sharing with you my Playful Pets Thank You Cards using the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper which is currently on sale! These cards all came about because a friend asked for some thank you cards that she could send out on behalf of her dogs, Rocky (photo below on left) and Ruby (photo below on right). I came up with a number of options for her.

For my cards, I loved mixing the old with new! The new Playful Pets Designer Series Paper with the old Dog Builder Punch. Since the Dog Punch does not come with a matching stamp set, this is a great way to use it! The punch fits perfectly in the largest Stitched Square Die from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I love how the DSP peeks through the silhouette of the dog. You could easily make a cat card using the Cat Punch and the DSP since the DSP has images for cats as well. A single Red Rhinestone in the centre of the heart adds a touch of sparkle. 

Thank You Card Variations

This first card was for Ruby and I made the silhouette in Real Red to represent her. The Thank You sentiment was from the Path of Petals Stamp Set. I trimmed it down and tucked it into the silhouette on one side and overlapped it on the other.

The next card I made was for Rocky. I went with a black silhouette since he has a lot of black fur. I also used different pieces of the DSP.

I came up with another variation for Ruby’s card. She is a terrier with white fur and brown patches. So, I pulled out the retired Happy Tails Stamp Set to create a dog that looks like her and used it instead of the silhouette.

One final option that I gave my friend used a number of retired and new products. I again used the DSP with the Dog Builder Punch and the retired Happy Tails Stamp Set. But I brought in the So Sentimental Bundle (153828) for the sentiment and the Real Red frame. I also used the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (152718) on the Soft Suede card stock to represent fur. At the time I made this card, the Real Red Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon with white stitching from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack (152466 ) was on backorder. So, I used some retired Real Red Stitched Ribbon that I had in my stash.

Alternative Sympathy Card

Some good friends of ours lost their dog recently. So, I changed the sentiment to create a sympathy card. The sympathy sentiment is from the Well Said Stamp Set. It is always sad when a pet travels over the rainbow bridge! They are part of your family and a little piece of your heart goes with them!
