Doodlebug’s Puppy Love – 32 cards from one 6×6 paper pad

Both of my kids have been begging me for years to get a puppy. I’m actually allergic to both dogs and cats, so I’ve always told them no. I have several friends who own dogs and I don’t really mind being around them. (Especially since I get allergy shots.) We still don’t have a dog, but now I’m starting to think, maybe. Shhh, don’t tell my kids I said that though. But until that day actually happens, I’m perfectly happy to use some darling puppy paper to make cards. I used Doodlebug’s Puppy Love 6×6 paper pad and my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial to make 32 cards.

A big thanks to my awesome friends who lent me their dog stamps and Copic markers. I’m very new to using Copics. So, I only used easy images and kept the coloring very basic. But, I figured the sweet puppy images needed to be colored.

I’ve had requests to make an animal themed video while I disappeared the 6×6 paper pad. The video is sped up 10 times. The real time was just under 6 hours; not including die cutting time.

I used 20 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid cardstock. Here are all the leftover scraps from the paper pad.

Here are the pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. Operation Write Home sketches are the only ones that already provide measurements. For all the other sketches, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. All of my cards are A2 size. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Doodlebug’s Puppy Love 6×6 paper pad.
