12 Days of Christmas: Basset Hound Edition


Hello friends! I'm excited to be participating in a fun Instagram hop today. My friend Linh at LV Handcrafted has generously been offering a free digtital illustration each day from December 1st to 12th in celebration of the 12 Days of Christmas. All 12 illustrations are currently available for free purchase in her shop until the end of December. To celebrate, we're hosting a fun hop with a chance to win a $50 gift certificate for any LV Handcrafted online course. The giveaway ends on December 20th, so be sure to head over to my Instagram page to join the hop!


As you all know, I'm a total cat person, but I do have a soft spot for paper dogs! They're the best kind of dogs because they don't drool, bark, or bite. 😂 This adorable little Basset Hound, Peggy's Basset Santa, caught my eye and I just had to color him up.

I resized the image to 3" wide, printed it on my laser printer, and colored it with Copics. I added a little glossy accent to his nose for some shine. Then, I cut him out with a 3.5" square die and matted him with a scalloped square die.

The stamped sentiment is part of a sentiment in the Season's Greeting set from Miss Ink. The Christmas is a retired hot foil die set from Reverse Confetti. It's a favorite of mine. I adhered my image panel on dimensional foam to a background of old BasicGrey Christmas paper, then finished off with a white card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous day and enjoy the hop!
