A happy doggy birthday with Stampin' Up daubers

I love surprises, don't you? It was a friend's birthday on Wednesday and her lovely husband took her to beautiful Stowe Gardens for a walk with the dogs, then to lunch afterwards where he'd arranged for us to turn up unexpectedly! Naturally I brought along a little something for her - come and see:

Do you think this is the sort of card your dog might make you if he was allowed to rummage through your crafting stash? Er, no, I'm not about to find out if this is true either!

The paw print was made with Baked Brown Sugar ink and a sponge dauber - three daubs joined together for the pad and four single daubs for the toes. So easy to do! I pierced a frame around the panel and added a decorative strip of designer paper with some rhinestones for a touch of birthday sparkle!

I used the same paper to make a paper bow for my friend's present using Stampin' Up's Gift Bow Bigz die. My daughter made me get this die, so that she could decorate all her girlfriends' presents with paper bows, and I'm so glad she did - I love it! Change the colour to festive red and you have a perfect Christmas gift wrapping idea!

Have a wonderful weekend won't you. Unfortunately all the humans in our house have gone down with a tummy bug, so Eva and Tuppence will be looking after us I think! Hopefully I'll be back on Monday - see you then,
