Following Buddy Gayle, I had to play with the AAA challenge. I have many animal stamps, but a favorite has been Paper Smooches since I bought the first stamp from them. I am sure it was one that I used on this card. I am also playing along with the Let’s Squash It challenge of using my folder and keeping it CAS.

The stamps used are all from Paper Smooches: Chubby Chums, Chubby Chums Pals, and a greeting set. The background was embossed using a Darice EF. I added sparkle to the hat with Nuvo glitter. The nozzle clogged and when trying to unclog it with a craft pick, the nozzle came off of the bottle. My hack was to use a broken q-tip and use the cardboard to apply the glitter glue. Worked perfect!


As I am typing, I am getting chats with the grocery store. I placed the online order in last night, so they are currently shopping for our order. This is a first for placing it to pick up early in the morning. So far, so good with the questions. Thanks for spending time with me!
That chubby puppy image is too cute! And I love the embossed background!
Thanks! I enjoy that puppy image so adding a hat made him even more fun.
Cute card. The embossing folder looks great behind the puppy. Thanks for the great hack for applying glitter glue. I’ll give it a try.
Thank you! Yes, give it a try. I didn’t have a pin handy to unclog it, so when the top came off, I had to give something handy a try.
Very neat how the dry embossing adds so much interest and detail without getting away from CAS. Your puppy with its hat is so very cute.
What an adorable card Lisa! Love that your puppy is the center of the background swirl of snow. Glad you were able to save your Nuvo glitter goodness.
Thanks! I need to get it unclogged so I can use it normally again.
Adorable pup and love the embossed snowflake background. Thanks for the glitter glue tip.
Thanks! I hate when a product stops working properly. Glad I could think of something to make it work.
Cute, cute, cute!!! The embossed background is perfect for that adorable chubby puppy. Thanks for the glitter clue tip.
This is such a cute and fun CAS card, and who doesn’t love a cute puppy?! Love the embossed background done in white and that touch of glitter is perfect on his hat!
Thank you!
Adding that EB folder behind the amusing image was a great idea. Love that fun image in the center.
What a little cutie! Beautiful Christmas card, love the embossed background! Thank you for sharing and playing along at AAA Cards! Hope to see you in future challenges too! Take care and keep crafting!
