Ruff Day Card

Today I have for you a card made using my Silhouette Cameo and featuring Joy's Life's rubber stamp set, You're So Punny!  

(If you don't have this wonderful stamp set, you can pick it up HERE.)  


I been on a dog theme lately and here is what I came up with:  

The dog is from the Just Hanging Out Dog in the Silhouette store. 

You can see in this closeup that Joy's stamps imprint well on

textured paper such as Bazzill. 

I designed this card by drawing a rectangle the size of the finished card in my Silhouette Designer's Studio.  I then placed the images within that rectangle and resized as needed.  What I LOVE about that software is that I could shrink the tree in both directions so it did not take up too much of the card space.

I hope you enjoyed the card for today!  Thank you for taking the time to leave comments.  I know you are all busy.  I read all of them and appreciate it!

Joy's Life St. Patrick's Day Blog Hop!

Welcome to The Crafty Kitten for Joy's Life's 

St. Patrick's Day Blog Hop! 

If you have come from visiting Nina at Waffle Flower then you are in the right place.  If you just happened to stumble upon this post and want to start at the beginning at Joy's Life, click HERE.

The Design Team is putting on the green by featuring projects made with Joy's wonderful rubber stamps.  

Here's what I came up with!

Here's a closeup of the pot of gold. I filled it with those fun chocolate coins!  The saying is from Joy's You're So Punny stamp set.

Here's a closer look at the dog card.  I had a lot of fun making him!  The saying is from Joy's Holiday Occasions Stamps. 

 

Both projects were made with my Silhouette.  The pot of gold is 6"x6" and the card is 5"x7".  Instead of using Nestabilities for the ovals on the card, I used two Silhouette files and was able to size/stretch the ovals exactly as needed.

Now how about some Blog Candy??
