Jen's Birthday Bash: Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of birthday card week!  I have a birthday this week and I could think of no better way to celebrate than with a week-long celebration with my bloggy buddies!  A different card each and every day and a small piece of blog candy, too. And at the end of the week . . . a special gift drawn by random.org from all the party-goers!

Today's card is a "tall" card or in this case a "long" card.  It measures 4" high and 9 1/4" wide and is made out of a piece of plain ol' white card stock.  All of the die cuts are from the Paper Pups cartridge.

I used the circle feature and cut these cuties at 2 1/2" from a Recollections orange card stock.  The blue mat is also a Recollections card stock.  I cut a white card stock piece to mat the orange circles. 

The dog collar is just a strip of patterned scrapbook paper and the dog collar buckle is cut from a silver Bazzill Bling card stock at 3/4" high.  A little pen stitching and some dots with a white gel pen complete this card. 

The inside of the card features a bone border that I welded together using Cricut Design Studio.  It measures approximately 9" wide.  "Hot Dog" is cut at about 4 1/2" wide.

I think this card turned out pretty cute!  And even better, the guy that received it -- loved it and couldn't believe that I had made it (love it when they flip the card over and look for that little crown ;) )!

You can't have a birthday without some presents! So each day this week, Monday through Friday, there will be a little blog candy for you to win. And then at the end of my birthday bash there will be a grand prize winner drawn from all the participants during the week. The comments section for each day will stay open until 10:00 a.m. EST on Monday, June 27th. Winners for each day and the grand prize winner will be announced later that day. 

To be eligible for the prizes please be a follower of my blog and leave a comment with your e-mail address.   You can increase your chances, of course, by commenting on each day's post. Today's blog candy is two clear mini stamp sets by Studio G.
