Doggie Birthday Card

Here's a super quick birthday card I put together for (believe it or not...) a dog! 
I don't usually make birthday cards for dogs but "Jaz" holds a special place in our hearts because she and our dog "Polah" share the same dad. The two dogs enjoy playing together and Jaz's Momma also just happens to be my weekly neighborhood walking partner.
 
I decorated the front of this card with older cutting files I used for cards created in the past; the cupcake made from  Design Street US clipart on Etsy and the wrapped presents are from  Sliceform Birthday Presents Card from Lori Whitlock Shop. Happy Birthday greeting was computer generated using Vagabond font. Make the Cut design program was then used to create a double shadow to cut around the cupcake, gifts and greeting.

The original cutting file for this pop up called "Pop Up Card Dog" also comes from the Lori Whitlock Shop. I used "Cute Dog Digital Clipart" from Elytra Studio to make a few changes to the original dog's head, body and tail so it would look more like a Maltese like "Jaz" and "Polah".

Here's a side view of the card which shows how a simple box mechanism makes this pop up work... fun and easy to do!
