Pet Christmas Cards

Morning all,

Today's post is about Christmas!  I know it's only August, but you can never be too organised :)

Anyway, I'm sharing my passion of two things: cardmaking and my love of Riley :)  He's my little furry buddy and he's very much part of the family, he IS family.

With this in mind, I decided to make a few Pet Christmas cards.  These can be made to be sent from the dog, or I can personalise these to be sent to your dog.  Any personalisation can be done and I can make bespoke ones to your needs too.  I am able to make some lovely Shih Tzu cards, by the way :)

Hope you like:

Pet Services


Cards to your dog walker, dog sitter or dog groomer :)  Or any other service you can think of!

Pet Family


Cards for Mummy, Daddy and Special Friend :)

These cards have an aperture window on the front, with a stamped image of a dog inside wearing a Christmas hat.  These particular dogs can be coloured in to suit your specific requirements.

Have a great day!
