Colorado Craft Company ‘Our Furry Friends’ Anita Jeram Release (+GIVEAWAYS!)

9 Jun

Good morning!  I’m excited to be hopping along to share the newest Anita Jeram release from Colorado Craft Company: Our Furry Friends! (You knew I’d be excited about that one…) For a chance to win the entire release make sure you shop through my affiliate link!

Both of these cute dogs could easily be my Gambit with their ball playing and bowl staring but I decided to color them up as my second favorite dog breed: golden retrievers!  I stamped the dogs and accessories from Play Ball and Stay Pawsitive and the cute grey kitty from Treat Yourself with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I colored them with copic markers and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies.  I used E30s for the dogs, toner greys for the kitty, G0s for the grass, and R30s for the bowl, ball, and flower!

To complete my cards I stamped grass from Greener Grass and the sentiment from Play Ball onto one A2 panel and masked it off.  Then I blended tumbled glass distress oxide ink to create my sky.  I colored the grass and then added the rest of the images with a mix of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape!  For the second card I used a post-it note to mask off an A2 card panel and blended lost shadow distress oxide ink for the ground and prize ribbon distress oxide ink for the background. I adhered the ball, bone, and pup with foam mounting tape and then added a sentiment trimmed down to a black label to finish the card!

I had so much fun coloring these cute pets and I can’t wait to see how everyone colors them to resemble their favorite furry friends!

Colorado Craft Company is giving away the full release bundle to one lucky winner who shops through the affiliate links of one of the designers on the hop!  In order to win you must make a purchase using affiliate links.  As always, I’m an honored and grateful if you choose to shop with my link.  If you’d like to use my link, please click HERE to shop the new release!  Thank you!

To celebrate the release each designer is also giving away a stamp set from the Furry Friends release! To enter, leave a comment here and/or on my corresponding instagram post for a chance to win!  And don’t forget to hop along and check out the projects from all the guest designers for even more chances to win!

    Your cards are so adorable. I can see “altering” my coloring to look like my dog and cats. That would be so cute. Thank you so much for the inspiration today.
