Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is a cute pack of dogs and cats!

EVERYDAY ARCHES DOG & BLOOMING PHRASES
Can you believe I don’t have ANY current dog or cat stamps! Nothing even close! So, I sought out inspiration from Pinterest and saw a template for a dog that I knew I could recreate using Stampin’ Up! Everyday Arches Dies and a couple punches! Woohoo!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Basic Beige cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Cloud Cover cardstock was added on top.
- The head and body were cut with Everyday Arches Dies from Basic Beige cardstock. The body was added flat to the Cloud Cover layer and the head was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The ears are the Hearts of Elegance heart die cut from Early Espresso cardstock, then cut in half vertically. They was added to the top of the arch, folding over the tips to the back.
- The eye patch is the flower from the Hearts of Elegance die cut from Early Espresso cardstock and adhered to the ace.
- The eyes are 1/2″ circles punched from Pecan Pie cardstock, the pupils punched from Basic Black cardstock with the 1/4″ Circle Punch. A highlight of White Gel pen was added to the pupils.
- The nose is the toadstool from the Terrific Toadstool Builder Punch cut from Basic Black cardstock and highlighted with the White Gel Pen. It is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The tongue is the smallest Everyday Arches cut from Real Red cardstock.
- The greeting from Blooming Phrases stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink and trimmed the word Hello. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
