by

Let’s DIY Birthday cards that make your heart lighter with the best Weenie dog ever! These are adorable handmade cards anyone can make in minutes. AND I’ve got plenty of tips on using the Stampin’ Blends too–the best alcohol based markers on the market!

I had so much fun making these cards and I think I had a smile on my face the whole time! I am a bit partial to Dachshunds because one of my grand-dogs is a “weenie dog” as we call her. We also have a grand-dog that is a chiweenie. Whether you like Dachshunds or not, I hope these cards put a big smile on your face!
