The greeting is stamped in shaded spruce ink and cut out with the layering ovals, then attached to the card.

Dog cards
This card is made with an 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 piece of whisper white card stock. The lemon lime twist paper is 5 1/4 by 4 and the whisper white measures 5 by 3 3/4. I stamped the dog prints in lemon lime twist ink along with the greeting. The dog is stamped in Early Espresso ink, the spots I stamped with Crumb Cake. I punched out the dog with the punch included in the bundle.
A second card I made with the same bundle used the same base, whisper white measuring at 8 1/2 by 5 1/2, folded in half at 4 1/4. I used another piece of whisper white, 5 1/4 by 4 and ran that through with the Subtles Dynamic Embossing folder ( item # 143706). I used a 1 by 5 1/2 piece of Gingham Gala paper (item # 148554). Next I stamped the dog, the house, and the greeting on a scrap piece of whisper white card stock. The crumb cake paper is cut out with the Rectangle Stiched Framelits, item number 148551. I stamped the paw prints with crumb cake ink. The greeting is cut out with the stitched shape framelit dies, item number 145372. I punch the dog with the dog punch and hand cut out the bone and dog house. Items are attached to the card with dimensional.
Please see my video on how to make these cards.
Spring/Easter Baskets
This larger basket is made from a simple piece of card stock. The card stock measures 8 1/4 by 8 1/4. Score both sides at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2. Your designer series paper needs to be 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 and you need 4 squares. For the handle cut a 1 inches strip of card stock and decorate with 3/4 piece of designer series paper. You can use any decorations on the side of the basket, I used the daisy punch to decorate the basket.
To make the basket you will need to cut on both sides to the 2 3/4 score line. Put a piece of tear and tape on the upper part of the center square and attach the DSP paper to the four outer squares. Bring the outer two square together and match the points. Remember to put a small piece of tear and tape under the decorative squares to hold them in place.
Attach the handle with tear and tape and decorate!

Also attach a piece of DSP paper to the bottom part of the box which should measure at 3 1/4 by 1 1/2.
