The Doggone Friendly background stamp is one stamp with a whole lot of cuteness! There are actual dogs whose images were used to create this artwork . I love that you can leave it black & white, or color in one that you like (or just the bandana). I’m just sad that my Alaskan Huskie/Beagle mix isn’t one of the ones pictured, but dogs are dogs!

So often I want to reach out to a friend who has lost a pup. It’s too bad they don’t live forever. This card is perfect to have on hand for those sad times.

Below are all the details for this card. For more ideas every month, be sure to sign up for my weekly newsletter at the bottom of this page. For info about my upcoming in-person and virtual classes, check out my class descriptions here and my calendar here. Thanks for checking this out!
