stamp review crew: happy tails

Welcome back for another Stamp Review Crew blog hop! Today’s feature is actually two different sets: Happy Tails and Nine Lives. The SRC design team has some great inspiration for both dog and cat lovers.

I am definitely a dog lover, so my creations use the Happy Tails set. I also added the coordinating Dog Builder punch. I love this pups silhouette. It gave some of the smaller images in the stamp set a chance to shine.

I stamped the tiny bone in Crumb Cake, some images second generation, and Whisper White. I added some sponging around the edges and some white ink spatters. I punched out the dog, cut out the negative image with a stitched circle die and mounted some Calypso Coral gingham dsp behind.

I had to make a fun little treat for the four legged family members as well.

I filled a little cello bag with mini dog treats, tied it shut with some linen thread and polka dot ribbon. The tag is a stitched circle die cut of Calypso Coral gingham dsp.

Our whole family is a bit dog crazy. My husband and I have two dogs: a 15 year old Shih Tzu named Pippin and a 3 year old Yorkie named Elphie. Our daughter and son-in-law have three dogs: Ruffy, Belle, and Mose. And our son has a beagle mix named Jemma. Our middle daughter has to be different. She has a bunny named Winnie. Animals outnumbered people for last year’s Christmas photo!
