RECIPE;

1. Cut the two tan card sheets to 20cms (8”) square
2. Cut the two paws backing paper sheets to 19 cms square, one of these will be used as an insert
3. Score the tan card and the paws backing sheets approx. 1 cm in from one edge.  Glue or use double-sided tape along the scored edge to sandwich one of the paws backing sheets inside the tan card pieces
4. Attach the other paws backing sheet to the front of the card
5. Layer a piece of 9 cms x 16 cms (6” x 3 1/2”) rust textured card on the left side of the card front vertically
6. Mat a piece of cream textured paper 17 cms x 7.5 cms (7” x 3”) onto a piece of dark brown 18 cms x 8.5 cms (7 1/4” x 3 1/2”) card. Attach to the front of the card horizontally and slightly lower than the middle
7. Cut out the dog in dark brown and rust card, also 1 large bone in rust paper and 1 slightly smaller in cream (stamp this or print a phrase before cutting out, or download the free sentiment- see shopping list below). You will also need to cut out 3 slightly smaller bones and 5 paw prints on your cutting machine or by hand. Layer the dog sections onto the dog backing piece, attach to the cream matted section on the front of the card
8. Matt a piece of tan card 17cms x 4.5 cms (6 3/4” x 1 3/4”) horizontally near the top of the card and glue a bone shape cut from the rust paper onto the right-hand side.  Add your sentiment printed/stamped bone on top and 5 paw prints to the left-hand side
9. Add 3 bones cut from cream textured paper to the lower right side vertically, or replace these with ribbons or brads
10. Print a verse on a piece of the cream textured paper and glue to the paw print insert inside.
