Card Designs for Purrs and Pants

These past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of fun for me. I took a trip to Indiana for a surprise 50th birthday party for my 'baby' brother and included a great visit with my mom as well as my four siblings. It doesn't matter how old we get: when we get together it is like going back 40 years in time as 5 siblings growing up with great parents and the usual squabbles that kids have.

But my big news pertaining to rubber stamping is that Tricia, who owns Purrs & Pants rubber stamps has asked me to be her card designer. Purrs & Pants is a whimsical cat and dog stamp company. Tricia stocks a wide array of cat and dog images and sentiments. If you haven't visited her website yet, be sure to check out PURRS AND PANTS.


I've decided that each time I post a card I've made for Purrs & Pants, I'll begin my blog post with her adorable logo. Now when you see the logo you'll know that this is a card using entirely Purrs & Pants rubber stamps.

There are many sentiments that could go with the Dog with Bandana stamp and I thought this pup would make a fun birthday card for a dog lover, young and old alike.

I stamped the hat twice and popped the second hat up on pop dots for some added dimension.
