Dogs galore! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing two different cards both with a dog theme.

My first card was made with the 5101 – Dog House Cubbies.

I made this card for my friend's birthday.  Her husband secretly

contacted a bunch of her friends and asked us to donate to the 

Humane Society in her name.  She was SO touched when she 

found out.  
The little paw print cut out was made with 5337 – Dogs Mini Dies.

Don't you love how the little dogs poke
their heads out of the windows and doors?



For my second card I used 4850 – Paws To Love MTF.

This card was made for the same friend.  I sent her this one at work just to brighten her day. 

On the inside I used the Dog Mini Dies again as well as the 5333 – Cats Mini Dies because she has a cat and a dog.  I only used two of the three stamps on my card because I didn't do it as a trifold.

Paw-some Vet by Bri Firth

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing my creation for Art Impressions "To Die For" challenge. For more information on this challenge check out the announcement here. This creation is a perfect thank you card idea for a paw-some veterinarian. I decided to use the mini dies in a unique way: to create masks for ink blending. This card is also featured on my personal blog, check it out here! 

I used the Cat and Dog Mini Die Sets and Gina K. Designs Masking Magic to create the animal masks. I arranged the masks on a piece of white cardstock and ink blended over them with Distress Oxide ink. I used plain water to create the water droplet look. 

I die cut the stethoscope die from the Health Mini Die Set with purple and grey cardstock. I trimmed the purple die cut to look like the rubber over top of the metal parts of the image. To finish the card I heat embossed the sentiment "You're Paw-some" in silver embossing powder. I layered the sentiment strip with purple cardstock. 

*Note: The sentiment is from the Lovable Animals stamp set. 

Check back next week for more Ai inspiration made by me!
