Dachshund craft

   I wanted to share this cute craft that I recently did for my Dachshund, Brandy.  I went online and found an outline of a Dachshund, printed it out on heavy paper, cut it out and then traced it onto some really cute black and white polka dot paper and then used some really cute green scrap booking paper as the background.  I used Paint Shop Pro to add text to the green scrap booking paper and then cut it to fit the frame.  I found a bunch of really cute fonts to add to my collection of fonts and they have some really cute chalkboard fonts for free! I also used a heart punch and some red glitter scrap booking paper and glued the Dachshund and hearts onto the green background.  This was so easy to do and so cute!  The one tip that I have is to make sure you use the size of the frame as your guide. My printer has an option to print based on frame size and that made this so easy when printing the font onto the paper. Glowing rose craft instructions coming soon!!


The scrap booking paper that I used is The School Days Stack


The Font I used is from http://www.dafont.com/handwriting-draft.font and they also have a bunch of free cute chalkboard fonts!

This is the heart punch that I used.  It is called Martha Stewart's Heartbeat punch and I picked mine up at Michael's along with the glitter red scrapbook paper I used for the hearts.
