Welcome to the new Cardz 4 Guyz challenge # 295. For this challenge, Deb chose the theme of D is for………… The sky is the limit for this challenge! As long as your project is for a guy of any age and has to do with a word starting with D, it works! When you finish here, I hope you will pop over to the Cardz 4 Guyz challenge site to see the projects from the rest of the design team. Then, create your own project and add it to the gallery! Fun!

Here’s my D is for……. Dog card:

When I was growing up, we had a mini-schnauzer, and this cute little guy always brings back happy memories. He’s so cute, I had to use him on the inside and outside. The dog on the inside looks like I totally meant to put him in the corner to fit under the sentiment. However, I really didn’t have a choice on the placement of the pup. I’m running out of the dog DSP (designer series paper) and could only crop one without a tail. Whatever works, right?

Measurements and Such:

The Real Red base measures 5-1/2 inches by 8-1/2 inches. I scored it at 4-1/4 inches to create a tent card.
The Basic Black cardstock layer measures 5-3/8 inches by 4-1/8 inches.
The piece of red striped DSP for the envelope flap measures 6 inches by 2-1/2 inches.
I usually use thin borders for mats, but I had this piece of the background DSP already trimmed to 5-1/8 inches by 3-7/8 inches, so I really didn’t have a choice in the orientation of the card.
The black DSP square measures 2-5/8 inches squared. I popped it up on dimensionals and adhered the schnauzer directly to the DSP using 9my fav) multipurpose liquid glue. I didn’t add dimensionals under the pup so I could add a bone trinket and still have the card fit in the envelope.
This fabulous Happy Birthday sentiment comes from the Party Puffins cling stamp set. The playful font coordinates perfectly with the rest of the elements on the card.
I stamped both the inside and the outside sentiments using the Momento Tuxedo Black ink pad.
The Real Red banner measures 1-1/8 inches wide. I trimmed the white banner to 1 inch wide.
I thought the sentiment banner really needed a little something, so I added a matte black dot to the bottom corner.
After I adhered the pup on the inside to the white cardstock, I adhered that layer down to the base.
Finally, I trimmed the envelope flap and punched a 1 inch circle of the black DSP for the envelope seal. I started making envelope seals during COVID so I wouldn’t have to keep writing “no saliva was used to seal this envelope”. The XYRON create-a-sticker is perfect for these seals.
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and seal set.
