Have a Ter-Ruff-ic Day!

I finally made a card for Samm's birthday card blog challenge. Samm is a great blogging friend, and her birthday is January 20th. She's having a fantastic blog candy challenge by having other bloggers make birthday cards for her. This is my card for Samm.


I just got the Stampin' Up set called "Ruff Day", and I fell in love with this happy dog! Isn't he a party waiting to happen? I used the gamsol colored pencil technique when I colored him. The card base, scalloped circle and matted pieces are ScrapWorks paper. The scallop was cut using Mini Monograms on my Cricut. I cut out the dog image using my Coluzzle. The flower is a Prima and I added an adhesive rhinestone to the center. The "Party!" is a button piece I found in my stash. I know Samm loves her cats, but hopefully she'll love this dog too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Fab card, such a cute stamp and sentiment. The rectangle frame on my blog is cut with nestabilities but the other longer piece was just cut across the bottom with scallop scissors. Have a good weekend

This card is adorable, love that paper you used. I also bought the Big Bite Crop A Dile AND the case. But it will enable me to use up more of my "stash" LOL.

Fanastic card Carol, so much fun, I adore this dog!
your scallop is fabulous, can you do them in any size on the cricut, just thinking if I get a cricut, as I plan to, I will save lots in not having to buy the nestabilities that I was thinking I needed! What do you think?

Oh so cute! I have this set, too, but haven't used it yet. I got it for my scrapbook of Charlie, but obviously I need to do more pages - I haven't even gotten near his first b-day pages!
This is a great card and I really like the DP and colors you used.
