this might be my new favorite card design...

...if you're looking for day 4 of the Pretty Pink Posh birthday blog hop, you've found it! I can't wait to share this birthday card with you, it might be my new favorite card design!

Before we talk more about cards, there's more fun! There are four $30 gift certificates to Pretty Pink Posh up for grabs! Enter to win by leaving comments along the hop by 11:59pm PST of March 4th, 2025. The winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

Now let's talk about my new favorite card design...

This is not the first card I've made with the adorable Pretty Pink Posh holders (ghost & fox) dies holding candy but the Dog Holder made me realize how fun they could be for birthday cards! Plus I've decided we should all be sending a lot more candy to each other! I need a little sweet treat mixed in with the bills, LOL!

For this card I used a combination of the Streamers dies and Layered Garland stencils to create a background.

I die cut the Dog Holder from some light tan & kraft cardstock and assembled him, adding pink cheeks with a colored pencil and a party hat from the Birthday Holder Additions die set.

I adhered a plain white cardstock Dog Holder behind the tan one for a little extra stability and then adhered the whole thing to my card. 

I used tweezers to pop out the arms and glue dotted a mini Reese's Cup there because who doesn't love candy?! LOL!

The sentiment is from the Birthday Dogs & Cats set and it's so perfect!

And even though I think candy is the perfect treat for the Dog Holder to give, there are so many options! A real balloon with a message written on it to blow up...little bag of confetti to sprinkle...a gift card...or any of the adorable things from the Birthday Holder Additions die set!

Your next stop on the hop is Dana's fabulous blog and I know she is going to share something gorgeous!

And here's the whole list if you need it...

Adorable cards. I always appreciate a cute card that has no coloring (I color, but very basic).
