This versatile set allows you to stamp animal bodies across multiple surfaces, creating delightfully complete images that span your entire project. Perfect for adding whimsical, stretched-out characters to cards, scrapbook pages, and other creative endeavors.

Long Time No See

This charming handmade birthday card features an adorable dachshund (wiener dog) as the star of the show. The long-bodied pup is dressed in a festive Real Red and Gray Granite striped sweater that stretches across the entire width of the card, perfectly showcasing the breed’s famously elongated body. The dog’s sweet face and wagging tail add personality and warmth to the design.

The card is decorated with a delightful dog-themed pattern background featuring paw prints, dog bones, and food bowls in coordinating colors of Real Red, Crumb Cake, and Basic Gray. The “Happy Birthday” sentiment is prominently displayed in elegant script lettering, positioned perfectly above the stretched-out pup. Small black brads or buttons add dimensional details to complete the professional look.

Created using Stampin’ Up! products, this card demonstrates beautiful paper crafting techniques. The layered design with its clean lines and thoughtful color coordination makes it perfect for any dog lover’s special day. The playful concept of stretching the dachshund across the card creates both visual interest and a smile-inducing focal point.

The left image shows the inside of a greeting card with a playful message that reads “SORRY I’M A LITTLE BEHIND” accompanied by an illustration of a dog’s rear end and tail. The right image displays a matching envelope decorated with a cute pattern of dog-related items including food bowls, bones, paw prints, and other pet accessories in colors that coordinate with the card’s design.
