Sizzix eClips and eCal Users Group - National Craft Month

Sizzix eClips and eCal Users Group has been sponsoring challenges all month for National Craft Month.  I enjoy these challenges, pushing me to think of creative ideas using my eClips - not to mention, usually a big payoff for these challenges!  This week's challenge was to use a function from the Effects tool bar - I chose Wave for my paw print border from Cuddly Cute Designs.

And here is just another pet-themed birthday card.

Fancy Feline

I don't know about you, but I don't have many animal stamps sets - or even animal paper patterns.  So when it comes to a time like today - after making close to 70 pet cards, I often find myself in a bit of a bind to make them unique.  since I prefer to spend my crafting dollars on stamps that I can get lots of mialeage out of, I resorted once again to my digital images.  These cards use a couple of my favorite elements (as you know, if you've been following my blog) - the paw print (SVG Cuts) and Kitty Borders (Cuddly Cute Designs).

Cards for Tucson's Pet-Adoption Event - April 11

The theme for me the past couple weeks has been pet cards.  Today's cards are generic pet cards for pet-owner birthdays.  I'm using the Paw-Print svg from SVG Cuts, as well as balloons from Miss Kate Cuttables.

This is by far, one of the biggest events I've ever made cards for. I've spent many late nights working on getting everything together. I had some fails in the process, but I'm happy with how everything is turning out.

Today's cards are all generic pet birthday cards . . . I hope to have some time to make blank notecards, too - as they should be more fun without having to worry about sentiments.

2015 Pet-Adoption Event - April 11

April 11 is Tucson's Pet Adoption event, so what better time to scrap the four-legged friends in your life with birthday wishes.

This is your chance to wish two-legged friends with "ruff" and "purr-fect" birthday wishes.  There are a lot of different digital files to suit your personal taste and designs for cards.  BTW, if you are in the Tucson area, you will probably be able to find a four-legged friend to suit your personal taste at the Pet-Adoption Event, too.

Easter Fresh

Yay!  I love this bunny from Digital Crea so much!  Here's a card I made for my grandson for Easter (can you believe I didn't have an Easter card in my stash?)  I just think this bunny is awesome!  I love the colors - even though they aren't quite traditional Easter.  The inspiration for this card came from the paw-print frames I've been using for Pet-Adoption cards - looks like a bunny print to me!  Super easy and simple to pull together.

The sentiment is a free digital sentiment from Bross Artful.

Birthday Cards

Puppies are great for sending greetings - including birthday.  Whether it's from a digital image or stamp, using a pup meakes for a fun, homemade card.  And the best part?  Puppy files are easy to find from SVG Cuts, 2 Cute Ink, and Kadoodle Bug.

Round 12 - Kittens and Birthdays

I hope everyone had a very Happy Monday, and that this round of pet cards will add a little extra fun to your day.  Today I have four birthday cards that include purr-fect wishes and Kitty Borders from Miss Kate Cuttables.

Paw Prints

I love simple paw prints on my animal-themed cards - especially die cuts.  Today I want to share four of my paw-print cards.
