National Pet Day - Festive Friday Challenge

National Pet Day - Festive Friday Challenge

• Friday, 7 August 2020

It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge and I'm excited to be part of the Design Team!  Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and a Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project.  We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list.

This week’s challenge #FF0065 is National Dog Day on August 26th. Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you!

For today's challenge, I selected red, black, baker's twine, heart, paw print, dog, and loyalty/love sentiment  from this week’s Inspo List.  I hope you will join us in our challenge this week. I can’t wait to see what YOU create.  

Here's my card featuring the Pampered Pets Product Suite from the Annual Catalogue.  This suite is so much fun!

I had fun making this peek through card.

Use Baker's Twine to suspend the adorable dog in the window.

A cute bow and heart around his neck to finish him off.

You can check out the instructions and supply list for this card below.
