Digi-Dogs

Today I have three cute dog pictures.  All three use two printed digital papers - each printed at half a letter size -  focals made from Stampendous Pop-up Puppies stamps and dies, and a bit of ribbon.  

Card #1 (above): As you can see, this first one uses ribbon as a leash.  To make these, I cut both papers to the correct size for a card front that would leave a bit of white showing around it.  I then used a die to cut the middle out of both  papers.  I glued the outer part of the dark paper in place.  Next, I took the inner light colored one and matted it on white before adding it with sticky-backed foam to pop it up.  Unfortunately, I discovered that with the wobble spring for his head that made the card too thick to go through the mail as a standard letter.  So, I left the foam off of the next two. 

Card #2:

As you can see, this one is the reverse of the last with the larger light-colored piece on the outside and the darker on the inside.  On this one, I used a leftover piece of ribbon that made it look like his leash is too short.  Oh well.  I think when I know how I'll use these first two, I'll add a strip sentiment to the front of them.

Card #3:

 

This one has room for a small sentiment in the upper left corner - once I know what occasion it will be used for.  The dog is from the same set, but a very different look because I used a different head for him.   At this point I also only had leftovers that were not large enough to cut for card fronts.  So, I split the lighter colored one and put it either side of the darker - adding ribbon to set them apart before inking the edges and gluing the whole to the card front.  This dog didn't get a leash, but his head is still on a wobble spring.
