 Doggone Friendly, Something Fancy & Pets & More for my March 2024 
Creative Therapy Classes

I like to offer a fun kind of card at all of my Creative Therapy card classes, and this is what I created for my March 19 & 23, 2024 classes.

Recipe:
  • The 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 base of Basic Gray is scored at 4 1/4.
  • The layer of Basic White is 5 1/4 x 4.
  • I stamped pal prints all around the edge of the Basic White before I embossed it with the Twisted Rope folder.
  • The Real Red layer is 4 1/8 x 3 1/8 and is the base for the 4 x 3 Smoky Slate layer.  I stamped the words with Real Red ink.
  • I stamped the Doggone Friendly background stamp on a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece of Basic White with Basic Gray ink and used my amazing SU Paper Snips to cut out the dogs.  I adhered this to the Smoky Slate with adhesive.  
  • I added dimensionals to the Real Red and added this to card front.
  • All done and remember to decorate your envelope.
