2018 The Year of the Dog

Hi and welcome, it's Sandy Diller here today with a tag that I made for a friend who celebrates the 
Chinese New Year, which is February 16.  2018 on the Chinese calendar is the Year of the Dog so how could I resist using the adorable dog from Karen Burniston's Cat & Dog die?



I started the tag using the large tag from the Tag Book Pop-Up, cut from white cardstock.
Using the Nature Edges Die, cut three strips of grass.
Cut one tree using the Tree Pop-Up and then cut in half as shown above.
Now cut three dogs from the Cat & Dog die using three different colors.  Color the faces in using the die as a stencil.  

To see an instruction video from Karen on how to assemble these cute little pups,


Using the Nature Edges, cut the cloud die from acetate and use as a stencil to color the clouds on the tag.  Broken China Oxide Ink was used here.  Simply move the stencil down at different angles and rub the ink on using a circular motion.


Next, layer on the rows of grass and trim to fit tag.


Now add the pups and the trees.

Using the Tiny Accessories 1 die I dressed the dogs.  The bandana, collar and bone all come with the Cat & Dog die set.

To finish off my tag, I used the banner from the Twist Panel Pop-Up on some twine.  It was added to the tag to look as if it is hanging from the trees.  Stickers were used for the numbers.

Happy New Year!!
