Hello Friends & Happy Weekend!
Recently my friend from Illinois Bette shared a blog post with me that I thought would work well for a Pet Sympathy project I've been looking to do for an upcoming Fall show along with cards. I have had requests in the past for Pet Sympathy cards and I keep forgetting to make some for my sale boxes ... now's a good time to get that started.
The blog I'm referring to is called Chic'n Scratch and you can see her project by clicking the link. I have followed her template which she so generously offers but switched it up a bit to fit my needs.
These fabulous little boxes house a purse size pack of Kleenex tissues.
I have made about a dozen or so and we will see if they are a hit at the fall high school show.
As you can see, I've done cats & dogs primarily but was told I should do horses too ... we will see!
In my location, I think dogs & cats will be the primary but will make a few horse themed cards which I will share further down in this post.
I sure hope this paw print is for cats ... I always get confused which is cat and which is dog. I DID google 'cat paw prints' and the image looked like this so, fingers crossed I don't get called out on it if it's wrong! LOL
I have used a variety of stamps and dies on this project ... if there's something in particular you'd like more info on, please leave me a comment and your email address so I can get that information for you!
** UPDATE **
I've had requests for the stamps used so I will add them here with links (if available).

Brilliant makes!! Very beautifully realized
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful idea for pet sympathy! When I saw that you had Kleenex in the box it made me want to cry. All the cards and boxes are perfect! I think the paw prints work for either cats or dogs. This kind of thing is important to people who love their pets or understand how much a pet can be loved and grieved over.
ReplyDeletethat is cute idea for a sympathy, for an animal, they are all so cute, as is your cards. I do have friends with horses so I could see those could be in demand.
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful way to extend sympathy. I love the Kleenex boxes idea.
ReplyDeleteThese are FABULOUS and boy I sure could of used some of them recently myself!! Very creative and I am sure will be a best seller, as people are sure to have uses for them being our pets are our 'family too!!
