Been Too Long Dachshund

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am reminding you to join the Poppy Stamps September Challenge: Keep it Simple with this darling Dachshund card. My card features the Poppy Stamps Long Dachshund Die 2722 with the matching Poppy Stamps Been Too Long Sentiment Die 2723. I put the cute puppy in a blue sweater and matched it to the sentiment.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you own a Dachshund?
A: Me? No, they are pretty goofy looking

Step #1: I die cut the dachshund body from light and dark brown cardstock and his sweater from teal cardstock. I glued them together to create my Long Dachshund.


Step #2: I die cut my background out of white cardstock with Poppy Stamps Evangeline Pinpoints Frame Die 2533 and glued it to a white cardstock card base.Then, I place my Dachshund toward the bottom and gave him some tennis balls.

Step #3: I finished my card by adding the sentiment in teal cardstock to match the Long Dachshund's sweater.
