How to make a Santa Dog using Happy Tails & Playful Penguins from Stampin Up

amethystarcrafting.stampinup.net


Turn the cute dog from Happy Tails stamp set into a Christmas dog with scarf and Santa hat from Playful Penguins stamp set.

The sentiment Always By Your Side is perfect for our faithful hounds as they are always by our side and I used some of the gorgeous Christmas ribbon. I thought that the little piece of the ribbon sticking out at the side looked like the label tags on a mans check shirt.  The paper is the Wrapped in Plaid which is tartan gold striped on one side and silver and white patterns on the other. Love our papers are all double sided, so you can choose to mix and match as you so wish.

If you don't want to fussy cut the dog then the Dog Builder Punch is something you will want to add to your shopping list.

Here is a step by step video tutorial showing how to make this project.  Enjoy and have a go and send some Santa dog cards to all your dog loving friends this year.

Using Patterned Paper with your Punches - Stampin Up Happy Tails

Happy Tails stamp set is a dog lovers dream and this lovely card using patterned paper to punch the dog from to give a fresh look.

Using the Brights patterned paper in Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight to make this fresh combination.

See how I added the little butterfly in my step by step video tutorial with my motto "waste not want not" from the tiny heart that is punched out with the dog.

Stampin Up Happy Tails stamp set and punch bundle

Ive really been enjoying using my DIY wreath builder template with the small grid paper for the STAMPARATUS positioning tool and this time I have made a cut waggy dog card with all their tails interlocking into a lovely circular pattern. Buy the small grid paper for £6 for 50 sheets HERE

This technique of using die cuts I saw from Jennifer McGuire a fellow crafter and I used her technique with the punch from Happy Tails.

The dogs I simply coloured with a wash using the AQUA PAINTER and Crumb Cake and Smoky Slate ink pads.  I then punched them out and then used a punched negative as my guide to place each one of the punched dogs to create the circular pattern.

I love the way the tails interlock and the heads poke out.  With a few little paw prints this card would be great for all of us dog lovers out there. Buy the Happy Tails Bundle HERE

Stampin Up Sneak Peek Happy Tails stamp & punch bundle

How exciting, my pre-order arrived today with lots of goodies from the up and coming Spring/Summer catalogue 2019 which launches on Jan 3rd 2019.

If you would like  catalogue just drop me an email and I will be sending them out over the next few days. allmark.j@sky.com

So as you all know I love dogs and have a sweet little spaniel cross who is my world.   I have always had dogs, most of whom have been rescue, so when Stampin Up brought out Happy Tails (Jan03 2019) I just had to put it in my pre-order and I am not disappointed.

A stamp set and coordinating punch to create a variety of different dogs.  So with 101 dalmations in mind this is my first creation.

Quick and simple to make, the dalmation is stamped as the dog outline and the spots stamp was added. A cute little collar was added in Fresh Fig and then the whole image was easily punched out with the coordinating punch.  Little paw prints and a sentiment and this card was finished.

Want to see it in more detail then watch the step by step video tutorial.  This is going to be on every dog lovers wish list and I can't wait to create some different dog breeds using this great set.



Over the next couple of weeks I will be showing you more stamp sets, dsp and punches from the Spring/Summer catalogue and Sale-a-bration so if you haven't already don't forget to subscribe to my blog and YouTube so you don't miss anything.  I am so excited to show you some of the brand new sets.
