Stamps of Life Corgi2Stamp

Hello and Welcome! This week we are making occasion cards at Watercooler Wednesday and Kath is our hostess. I\’ve chosen to make a birthday card for my daughter. Kristen has the most adorable Corgi name Newton, and he was the inspiration for this card.

Lawn Fawn Quilted Backdrop background die

A while back I saw this Corgi stamp and purchased it right away. I wanted to put together a little birthday scene so I thought a birthday cake on a bench would be cute. I stamped, Copic colored, fussy cut and die cut the elements. The background is a pretty cover die. The sentiment is new to me, but I am really happy with it. I added some Tonic Nuvo glaze to the frosting and candles and I really like the shine it added.

I wanted to make the card extra special, so I put a second \”pop-up\” Corgi inside.

Supplies:

Stamps of Life: Corgis2Stamp stamp

WPlus9 \”New Home\” bench stamp and die

Jane\’s Doodles \”Party Time\” cake stamp

MFT \”Lucky Dog\” stamp and die (pop-up Corgi)

For Christmas and Birthdays, my daughters like to receive a collection of handmade cards that they can give throughout the year. Kristen has the most adorable Corgi named Newton so I know she will like this Corgi themed set.

This is a simple CAS card with a pop of dimension from the sequins. A nice thing about this card is that it is appropriate to send to just about anyone….it can be a masculine card, for a child or a girlfriend.

The stamp set is Corgi2stamp from Stamps of Life. I made four versions of this card, but this one is colored with Copic markers and embellished with cheerful red sequins.
