Some angels have fur

Well three days in a row with cat cards. Now I don't know why, but like I said before I have my family and friends that are going through a streak of losing their furry ones. Hence another sympathy card was needed after I just made a batch last week. My cousin just lost her 21 year old cat.  For my card, I embossed the white and black and for the photo I couldn't get the black dry embossing to show up. The stamps are from Newton's Nook.

Pet Sympathy Cards

We are struggling with the lockdown and challenge of not knowing what to expect and stress of change. However, it also affects our critters. I am amazed at home many pet sympathies I had to make. To I made a group of 4 similar CAS designs since I need so many. I have had two lose cats and 2 lose dogs.  One that lost a dog also had their cat get seriously injured.  So then that's just another stress losing a pet during this difficult time. I lost a cat a few months ago and I know my other cat is still struggling with the lose of her sister. So we can just love our critters and I know that they are trying to help us cope.

Gone from your side

My co-worker that I share an office with had to put her dog down on Thursday. I gave her a card already, but then made this card for all the staff to sign for her.  She was devastated. Our furry friends become part of our family and mean so much to us so I totally understand.
I used Distress Oxide on the pawprint stamp with two different shades and then spritzed it with water...thinking of her tears.  I heat embossed the sentiment. I put the heart on a pop dot.

Someone is praying for you

Today there is a New Release at Catch the Bug and it's this Cat Silhouette.  For my card, I used a sentiment from TLC, Create.  Unfortunately, I have had another friend lose a furry loved one so this will be used as a pet sympathy card.  I left the cat black and white since my paper is so colorful, but it could easily be colored.

Heavens doggy door

I can't believe that I keep having friends who are loosing their furry loved ones which is so sad.  It is also a year since I lost my Siamese male and that has been difficult.  I have two other Siamese cats, but it's just not the same.  So I made another card using the Bugaboo image of Sign it - Dog condolences and a sentiment from TLC, Create.

Sharing in your sorrow

Today starts a new challenge at Catch the Bug.  For my card I used the image Sign it - Dog Condolences.  On the front of the card, I heat embossed a sentiment from MFT.  And on the inside I used one of my favorite TLC pet sentiments.  My co-worker asked me to make this card for her to give to a friend of her's.
I made it an easel card, which really impressed her.

So sorry for the loss of your furry friend

My Best Friend's Mother lost her dog the other day, so I made this card for her.  Her Mother is 87 years old and now she is so depressed because she is at that age where she wants a companion, but is afraid to have another critter in case she herself would pass away.  For this card I embossed some pawprints in the cardstock as well.

With Heartfelt Condolences Pet

I have a cousin who recently had both her cat and then their dog pass away which is just so difficult.  In addition, her daughter passed away as a teenager from an Eating Disorder and it was all around her anniversary which doesn't help.  So I wanted to send her and the family a special sympathy card.  I used the new set that I just got yesterday from Newton's Nook called Furr-ever Friends and then the sentiment is from another great set at TLC, Create.

You've been in my thoughts Angel with kitty

I have a friend who had to put her cat down and this is a difficult thing for all of us when our pets leave paw prints on our hearts.  So I made this card for her using a Mo Manning image called Angel with Kitten.  I outlined the wings with Sakura jelly glitter pen, and the purple cardstock is embossed with little flowers.  The sentiment is from TLC, Create and it is distressed with ink.

Dog sympathy card

I had a friend request a card that her husband could give to his friend who has a dog that has lymphoma and is not expected to live long.  She saw when I made a similar card and loved the sentiment which is from TLC and I think is so appropriate for anyone who has had a dog pass away.  The image is from Bugaboo and I have used it many times.  They also have a cat one.  The patterned paper is from Imagine That Digistamp called My Dog is Pawsome.
