Dog Paws Home Decor - With Shaker

Hello friends.  Jennifer Snyder here with some dog-gone adorable DIY home decor.  

Creative Embellishments has an amazing assortment of wood DIY home decor designs to inspire you and get you in a decorating mood.   There are seasonal favs as well as whimsical and classic designs, from gnomes to angel wings.  

My choice today is the Paw   with paw pad pieces for layering.  

 

Quick Instructions: 

I created an acrylic paint wash using watered down acrylic paint then lightly applied the wash to the wood.  I did this because I did not want the engraved details to get covered by thick acrylic paint.  The sea sponge allows easy and quick application of the wash in my opinion. 

Inked edges add depth and richness.  I used Ground Espresso Distress Ink.  

I covered the paw pad pieces and inked the edges.  

Now time for decorating and adding special touches.  I used two accenting features: Dog Shaker Set and Friends Fur Ever chipboard set with sweet little paw prints. 

Both pieces were painted with acrylic paint, then accented with the Ground Espresso Distress Stain used above.  Once dry, I topped with Range "Crackle Accents", added some sequins and beads (from the shaker mix) to the wet Crackle Accents and set aside to dry. 

The shaker mix selected is from Buttons Galore and is called Mermaid Lagoon, a fun combination of beads, heart shaped sequins and an assortment of buttons.  

The shaker mix compliments the paper choice perfectly:  Authentique's Purebred 12x12 and 6x6 paper collections.

Sweet Puppy Dog Shaker Card - Maja Design

Today I present a shaker card using some of my favorite products from Maja Design, Spellbinders, Buttons Galore and more.  

The adorable dog stamp is "Let's Get Cozy" from Spellbinders.  It was stamped on to watercolor paper and colored with watercolor pencils.  Next, the shaker mix is from Buttons Galore and More.  The stamped sentiment and stamped paw prints are from Stampendous Puppy Frame stamp set.

Dog Cards by Petaloo Plus DIY Tip

The Dogs Have IT!  It's Dog Day at Petaloo 

PET-aloo is celebrating pet days.  Click here for a chance at some prizes.  

 Now to avoid fur-balls flying in the air, I decided to post my cat and dog cards on separate days.  In my house, the cats will not put up with any dog shenanigans.  Yes I know that many households around the world have dogs and cats living in blissful harmony.  That's just not the situation at my house.

My cats may not love dogs, but I certainly do.  So to get even, I am posting the dog cards first.  Cats have to wait their turn and are featured here.  

I had so much fun that I created a variety of cards and even a quick step-by-step for one of them. 

This little pup is my first card.  I used a few sizzix dies by Tim Holtz for my cards.  This one uses the negative space from the die.  I thought it made a lovely silhouette. 

 The Petaloo Botanica Baby Blooms  in Purple  are so striking with the purple/blue of my paper - which is   Doodlebug Design Puppy Love.

This is my second card with a tiny DIY step-by-step.  

Before I move on to the DIY instructions, I will tell you a little about the card.  

The papers are once again Doodlebug Design Puppy Love as is the teal and brown "Woof" washi tape. 

The flowers I chose for this card were Petaloo Chantilly Hydrangea in Red.

The red and brown hydrangea's looked marvelous with my crazy brown pup. 

Here are my simple DIY steps: 
Die or punch your choice of cardstock or patterned paper. 

Cover  a plain piece of cardstock with washi tape.  

Place the die cut over the washi tape...and continue on with your embellished elements. 

It's THAT EASY!

The words on this card make me laugh.  "Ruff Day?" Way too darling.  This puppy is waiting to cheer you up. 

This little card has a sweet Petaloo Butterfly from the Darjeeling Teastained collection in blue as well as Petaloo Teastained Dahlias in Blue

My last card of the day is the only card that doesn't use Doodlebug's Puppy Love collection.  

This is Graphic 45 Botanicabella Collection - full of warm browns and oranges.  

I thought it would be perfect for the negative image of the Crazy Dogs die ( Sizzix and Tim Holtz).

I used the Petaloo Chantilly Hydrangea Red  in this card as well, but focused on the green and brown flowers in that package - I used the red flowers on my first card above. 

I'll be back tomorrow for Cat Day!  

You can find more Petaloo products listed here, and I invite you to join and LIKE Petaloo on Facebook right here.      

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day filled with love from your family, friends and Petaloo!
