Cats and Dogs - Tribute to Pet Lovers
I'm here to share some cards created for my pet loving friends.
As a pet owner, I know how important they become in our lives and in our families. Pets are indeed beloved family members.
The cards I created celebrate two different phases of pet ownership - the new adoption of a pet, and the heartbreaking loss of a furry family member.
Creative Embellishments has several pet-centered chipboard, stencils, and shakers to check out.
My first card celebrates a very exciting and happy event for a family, the adoption of a new dog.
My friend rescued a puppy and I wanted to send my warm welcome using the adorable Creative Embellishments - Dog Shaker.
I kept the chipboard treatment simple- just painting the base with ivory acrylic paint, and leaving the shaker walls unpainted natural chipboard. I inked the edges lightly with brown ink to blend more with my paper choice.
Lastly, I added the welcome sentiment with a simple fine-point sharpie. This allows me the freedom to customize and add pup's name making the family feel special.
The shaker was filled with Buttons Galore/28 Lilac Lane's Bottle Mix called Mediterranean Shore -Bottle Mix. It's a fun mix of buttons, beads, pearls, heart shaped and more with a gorgeous peaceful color palate.

Next is a kitty shaker card created for a necessary but somber event for a family; saying goodbye to their beloved friend. It's in these times when that extra thoughtful card is most appreciated.
This card was created to say goodbye to a beloved pet who will be missed dearly. Sweet Liz, the cat, was a beautiful Calico. I was able to customize the Creative Embellishments - Cat Head Shaker and make my own calico using inks and a sponge.
I also added Liz's name to the card with a sharpie. Not perfect but the family appreciated the little personal touch.
The shaker mix used on this card is also from Buttons Galore and blends so nicely with the Little Birdie Poppies and Roses paper used. It's Buttons Galore/28 Lilac Lane - Fairly Sparkle Sequin Tin.

I love these cards. Authentique paper has been one of my favourites since I first saw it. Nice thickness and texture and how cute is that paw print paper.
