Here's a little more about the collection...
There’s nothing better than sharing time with your four legged fur baby, soaking in the adoration found in their bright eyes, the love displayed through their wagging tails and those endless supplies of slobbery kisses! Whether you’re enjoying the antics of a young energy filled and mischievous puppy, or the relaxed and laid back company of an older furry friend, you are sure to fall in love with the new Pampered Pooch Collection by Heartfelt Creations! This newest paper collection is filled with adorable fun loving illustrations of heartwarming pooches, their favorite treats, and pretty floral touches all set against beautiful shades of denim blues, grassy greens, chocolate browns and crisp creams. The four captivating cling stamp sets include charming illustrations of man’s best friends at play, sitting pretty and even causing just a slight paw-full of trouble. These adorable images have been coupled with a multitude of sentiments perfect for so many different occasions and are ideal for the young and the young at heart! Cute dimensional pooch themed embellishments such as doggie bone shaped treats, paw prints, collars and of course a collection of fun loving furry friends themselves are easy to achieve when pairing the coordinating cling stamps and die combinations. So relax, get creative and celebrate great memories of canine friends both past and present, create a little something special for that puppy adoring friend who’s going through a “ruff” time, or simply lay back and bask in the joy of life as our wet nosed, fur covered friends do as we share with you the Pampered Pooch Collection…drool not included!
I have been wanting to try my hand at a box card for a long time...the die had been sitting in my craft room and had been unused. So, I decided this adorable release would be perfect to give it a try!
Here's how my project came out...
I loved this sentiment when I first saw it and thought perhaps a forgotten birthday would be forgiven by presenting such a cute package!
I've colored the images with my Copic Ciao markers, and for the floral accents I've used the Delightful Daisies from the Peacock Paisley Collection. The box card itself is a Spellbinders die that cuts all the pieces you need to assemble the card base. I've included the full instructions for this project below if you would like to replicate the project.
Here's a closer peek at the card from a different angle...
And just in case you missed it on Facebook...many of the design team have their very own pampered pooches...and Liz, our social media guru thought it would be fun to share them with you!
Let me introduce you to Thunder...our very own pampered pooch!
Thunder is our "farm" dog...he patrols the property and makes sure that all is right in our little part of the world! He enjoys long walks without a leash (put one on and he sits right down and will not budge), exercising the cats (sometimes they walk nicely together...at other times he has them jogging), howling with the coyotes at night (until they get to close then he sends them on their way), and he absolutely loves gardening! (That's right...he tramples down all of the stalks to reap the corn on the cob and eats it, he picks cucumbers and feasts on them all day long...oh and pumpkins, yum yum!) Oh...and we cannot forget to mention that he is terrified of his namesake...you'll catch Thunder watching the skies for any hint of rain or lightning...and when the thunder rolls...so does Thunder...right onto our front deck trying to get the house door open to let someone know he would like to be let into the garage to wait out the storm! Lastly, Thunder hates being photographed! He can be sitting beautifully with the kids and I try to sneak out and take a picture and he's up and running as fast as he sees the camera...and when I do get to snap a pic of him...he firmly believes he must have his tongue sticking out...must be his version of a cheesy grin! LOL He's one of a kind...but we love him!
