For my card this week, I made a shaped card in the shape of a dog house. I used my Cricut and Gypsy to create this card. Of course I also added in lots of goodies from My Craft Spot. Here is what I came up with...

"Another Birthday?"

Supplies Used

Cardstock: The Paper Studio, Bazzill Basics Paper, Core'dinations

Patterned Paper: Momenta

Stamps, Twine, Crinkle Ribbon: My Craft Spot

Rhinestones: Studio 18

Ink: Stampin' Up!

Electronic Cutter: Cricut Expression (Provo Craft)

Software: Cricut Gypsy

Cartridge: Create A Critter

Adhesive: Helmar, Zip Dry (Beacon Adhesives)

Other: craft knife, glass cutting mat

 As you can see below, the front 'door' of my dog house opens so you can sneak a peek inside at the dog and sentiment. To open the door, I used my craft knife and a glass cutting mat. I cut very carefully around the door. The glass mat underneath helped my blade to glide a bit more smoothly.

 I decorated around my door with some twine and rhinestones.

 I used some pink crinkle ribbon to do a double bow on the top of my dog house.

 For the inside, I stamped my sentiment using the 'Inside & Out #1' stamp set from My Craft Spot. I also added a little doggy. I just loved this dog! She's so cute! I gave her a bow with some bakers twine. I think I shall name her Pheobe. She just looks like a Pheobe to me! Tee hee!

I hope that you have enjoyed this project and that you will hop on over to My Craft Spot to join us in the challenge! See you there!
