Paws and Paint: A Fun Non-Holiday Card Adventure

Hello, creative friends!

Ericka here from Strangely Creative, taking a little break from the holiday hustle to craft something completely different. As much as I love the festive season, sometimes you just need a pause from Christmas cards to explore a whole new adventure! Today’s card is all about celebrating our furry friends with the adorable Crafty Individuals "Waiting for Their Next Adventure" stamp set.

To start, I stamped the charming image using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink—a favorite for crisp details. Then, I dove into my collection of PaperArtsy paints to bring the scene to life. With their vibrant and rich hues, these paints made creating a colorful, textured look a total joy.

Once my painted masterpiece was dry, I used a black pen to enhance certain details, adding depth and making the illustration pop. For the background, I reached for some AALL & Create Beachrock Washi Tape—a simple yet striking addition to complement the main image.


To wrap it up, I chose a sassy sentiment from the AALL & Create Sharp Tongues set, perfect for this playful card. This project is now ready to brighten the day of a dog-loving friend who, like me, understands the magic of four-legged companions.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope this inspires you to take a creative detour this weekend. Let’s keep crafting and creating memories—holiday or otherwise!

Until next time, happy crafting!
—Ericka
