Puppy Love by Jean Okimoto

Here's a Valentine design for dog people - and a bit of pink-spiration for February's Tickled Pink Challenge. Hello, Jean Okimoto here, let's build a woodgrained doghouse for the Poppystamps Whittle Scottie.

The Poppystamps Whittle Scottie and Word Balloons were bought to make card kits - they're great with Memory Box designs too!

Cut House Frame Background fron a pink 6x6 in the Berry Red Collection. Prep the Wood Grain Planks die by rubbing it briskly with a scrunched waxed paper for easier removal. Cut pink background with the Wood Grain Planks die - leave the pieces in the die. Tape the pieces together with Scotch Tape or Magic Tape for easier removal as a single background piece vs. separate planks.

Cut the woodgrain background with the door die. Cut the door again with a taupe 6x6 from the Earth Neutral Collection. Cut the House frame including one scored section at the bottom from the same taupe 6x6 - keep the tiny piece at the top and tape it in place.

Cut the streamer sections of the Heart Streamer Globe from a bright pink 6x6 in the Berry Red Collection. Sbnip the streamers from the globe frame - keep the "string" attached to the hearts at the ends. Attach the streamers behind the edges of the taupe frame - and between the streamers

Attach the pink woodgrain background.

Cut 2 fence pieces - from the House Frame set - from natural cardstock. Trim one right and one left side.

Cut the Poppystamps Whittle Scottie from a dark brown Earth Neutral 6x6. Cut another Scottie from black cardstock and layer it for dimension. Color the nose with a black marker. Attach three pink jewels from the Bright Jewels set.

Cut the word bubble from the Poppystamps Word Balloons set. Stamp the greeting - from the Big and Little Valentine Words Clear Stamps - with Charming Pink VersaFine Clair. Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder,
