This is the first card that I created from the custom stamp I had made of my puppies! (It was made from the picture in my avatar!) It has been (and still is) a real challenge for me to use this stamp; how do I color it? How can I embellish the card? So, here it is, the first product. I am not too happy with it, but was just so excited that there is a card with my dogs on it, I had to upload it. I will continue trying to think of ways to make a great card with my babies on it - if you can think of any suggestions, please let me know! Thanks for looking!

Awww, cute babies you have there. What a great way to celebrate them in your life. I've never heard of having custom stamps made of your dogs. Great idea!
I know what you mean about coloring the dogs. You may just have to keep them all one color and go with a monotone card. I have a very large basset hound stamp and it's like the stamp you have. You can't color it. So, I stamped it in close to cocoa on vanilla cardstock and just layered with those colors. It turned out cute!
Good luck and have fun with your custom stamp!

Oh I love your stamp and your card!!!!!!! Yes, I too want a stamp of my puppies. DOGS RULE!!!!! People can be mean, but dogs always accept us unconditionally. Your dogs are so cute.
To make more cards - you could look for other dog stamps like bones or paw prints and use that for borders. You could attach tags, etc. Have lots of fun!!
