The Paper Funday August Challenge - DT Card

It’s time for a new Paper Funday Challenge and this one is going to be paws-itively fun!

This month we’re proudly sponsored by two amazing companies - Not Too Shabby and Angie Blom Digital Designs. And this month's creative twist is Four-Legged Friends! 

For this challenge, I created a clean and simple card using the adorable Koality Hugs stamp set from Pawsome Stamps. This sweet little koala was perfect for our Four-Legged Friends twist! I kept the design minimal to let the image and sentiment shine — because with a critter this cute, you don’t need much else.

I began by stamping the adorable koala image from the Koality Hugs set and coloring it with Copic Markers.

Next, I took a panel of Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock and blended a soft yellow ink in the bottom right corner to add a subtle pop of color and brightness.

I stamped the sentiment in black ink to the left of the inked area, keeping things clean and balanced. Then I popped up the koala image with foam tape for a bit of dimension and adhered the finished panel to a white card base.

Simple, sweet, and full of koala-fied hugs!



Head to The Paper Funday Challenges to check out the rest of the Design Team inspiration and link up your own project. You don’t have to use the twist to enter, but it’s always fun when you do!


Ready to play along?

Join the challenge by linking up your project on the blog. You don’t need to follow the twist to participate, but if you do, we’d love to see how you interpreted it!

Let’s celebrate our four-legged friends with some crafty fun — and maybe win a prize while you're at it! 🐾

  4. Adorable card, Carrianne! You're right, this guy is perfect with a minimal amount of extras. He really pops. And I love how you made him stand out a bit more with the yellow background. Great technique! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday! We really appreciate you! :)
