One of my YT crafty friends, Kelly (YT: kreativecuriosities) has a son in the army, and she asked crafty friends\u00a0to create cards and send along snacks for her son and the men and women who serve with him. I couldn’t think of a better project to re-jump-start my crafting after my vacation.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I created these four cards using pictures of my sweet Biscuit as well as three other pictures I found online. \u00a0All the pups are cute, of course, but that dog jumping into the lake looked like a flying superhero\u00a0(the way the military men and women are real life heroes). \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/a>To give the cards a nice handmade quality, but not go crazy with embellishments (since these cards are likely to be thrown away after receipt), I cut out some die cut words of “thanks,” fussy cut out some banners using scrap card stock, and used a Marvy Uchida Paw Print Punch and an EK Tools Paw Print Edge Punch<\/a>\u00a0to create simple decorative elements.\u00a0\u00a0I also had fun using up some red, white and blue ribbons from my stash that I tied into single, double and triple loop bows with my Craft-Dee BowZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The following is a video share of these cards:<\/p>\n
