Have you ever looked for a dog themed card for the pet lover in your life?
It’s frustrating!!! Weather you are looking for a sympathy card for a friend who lost their pet or a birthday card for the dog in your life, it is truly a struggle. That’s why my mom started making her own dog themed cards a few years ago. This way she can personalize them to the dog in her life or give them to friends to use.
When Jodi from Kol’s Notes reached out to my mom and asked if she wanted to team up with her to bring you guys a DIY card making series, she jumped all over this opportunity. This dynamic duo is perfect for each other. You see, my mom comes up with the design/concept while Jodi turns those thoughts/concepts in to reality. Making beautiful printable kits for you all to download and create yourself!
The best part, you don’t have to be an experienced “crafter.” These kits are created, so no matter your craft level, everyone can achieve an amazing card!
