The Cardz 4 Galz challenge is more than one fold and this is what I came up with. As a design team member I try to come up with something different when I can. I’ve never done this style before and rarely have done any pop-up cards so it was fun to play with something new. I followed a template found on Pinterest that included a tutorial on YouTube so I used that for measurements and this card is the result.
A good friend of mine was so disappointed with the quality and variety of pet sympathy cards, that she decided to try making her own. I think she managed one before deciding that card making was not her forte and gave up. Last year I made her 6 to have on hand and unexpectedly, in return, she gifted me with some unbranded stamps and dies as well as the supplies she had purchased for her unsuccessful venture. The stickers used on this fun fold card and the PP on the cross over pieces come from her items, the rest is from my own stash.
Once I had the pieces cut it was fairly simple to put together and to decorate. The sentiments and stamped paw print as well as die cut paw print all come from a small SSS set that I’ve found very useful since its purchase. I promised my friend a few more cards in this vein for her stash and this will be one of them after the challenge is over. I’ll probably do another 5 or 6 when I have time.
I appreciate you stopping by and hope you have a fun day.

Johanna, I love both your folds and your pop ups on this card. It’s a sad situation, but cards are appreciated.

Yes I agree, losing a loved one furry or human is difficult. My friend is nuts about dogs as are many of her friends so making her a few cards to have on hand is useful for her.

Thanks so much. For some reason it isn’t showing in the DT photographs so I’m trying to get this resolved. The blog manager is nice, but overloaded and she isn’t a techie person so things can get confusing sometimes.

Thanks Lynda. I am trying to use my PP as I’ve been hoarding it. I love the papers so much I don’t want to cut it, which is a bit silly.
