Furry Friends ~ Friends Of Unity Blog Hop December 2023

  Welcome.  Thank you for visiting.  The December 2023 Friends Of Unity blog hop inspiration is "Furry Friends".  I hope that you will join in on the fun.  Simply comment on each blog in the hop.  See the end of this post for your next stop. 



There are so many possibilities for cards using our pets and furry friends.  
For this month, I show two different cards, made simple.  Both of my projects were made flat for easy mailing.


Sentiment:  Woofy Christmas

For my first card, I crated an open window card from double stitched heart dies.  I framed the card front opening.  And on the inside, I stamped the paws with a heart shape.  It shows through so nicely.  And, for the focal point on the front, I added a sweet puppy dog with a Santa hat.  This is a great holiday card for the dog lover.

This is another look at the window card showing a peek through the window opening.


  For my second card, I made a simple Christmas tree of dogs using the fun new Unity Stamp Co. stamp.  I decided to frame it using triangle dies and extra Christmas icons.  This was colored using color pencils on kraft cardstock.  This could also work without coloring.  It is another flat card for easy mailing.


Here are peeks at how these cards were made.
