Pampered Pets - Kylie's Maui Achievers Blog Hop

Hello!  Welcome to the Maui Achievers Blog Hop for July 2020!  Tamara Bertram coming to you from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Each month demonstrators from around the globe create and share a new project using solely current Stampin' Up! products that we hope excite and inspire you.  Grab a beverage, pull up a chair and hop along.  We're glad you're here :)

MY project actually changed from what I had originally planned, due to a sad necessity.  I got news on Friday that very close friends had to put down their beloved Schnauzer.  This called for a special sympathy card ... and I new EXACTLY what product I would be reaching for.  Here is the card I came up with in literally minutes.  I just LOVE how Stampin' Up! products coordinate so effortlessly!

I paired the "Pampered Pets" Suite of products with the "Stitched Be Mine" heart dies for this quick and easy card.

Card Base - Whisper White 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Layer - Whisper White 5 1/2" x 4" and run through the embossing machine with the "Subtles" embossing folder
Pampered Pets Designer Paper cut to 4 3/4" x 1 3/4"
Basic Black and Real Red card stock for the the stitched hearts.
The Schnauzer was cut from the designer paper using the matching die
The sentiment is 1/2" wide by 2 3/4" long and flag ended.  You can use scissor for the flag ... or (after Aug 4th) you can use the new "Banners Pick a Punch" found in the 2020 Mini Catalogue!)
I added a heart shaped trinket to the dog's collar for a special touch.
The hearts, dog and sentiment are all popped up on dimensionals.

PERFECT!  Super quick and easy card that I can now have in the mail bright and early so our friends will get it quickly.

I love the layout (and ease!) of this card so much I made a few variations to add to my stash.  These are the kinds of cards we should always have on hand, ready to mail when we hear of such sad news. 



I hope you found some inspiration in my projects.  Hop along to the rest of the blogs to see what my friends have come up with ... and have a stampy day!

  3. A pregnant cat, also known as the 'queen', has to be taken cared of properly, specifically given more focus by the owner. It is important for cat owners to take certain steps to ensure the health and safety of their queens, as that will help them ensure the safety and the health of the babies inside the wombs of their pets.
