Happy Gotcha Day, Maggie!


It may seem impossible to imagine, but I have actually discovered a theme that I am totally unable to find a rubber stamp for. I have looked high and low for a “gotcha day” sentiment for a dog or cat. With all of the rubber stamps out there, and there are tens of thousands, I could not locate the first one to celebrate Maggie’s special day on the 30th of this month.

Thankfully, I was able to use a few resources that I had and come up with a pretty cool card to celebrate the occasion.

I started by asking ChatGPT to create a cartoon image of a photo of Maggie that I uploaded. I love how that turned out. I used an oval die to cut out her image, then I framed it by cutting a larger green oval for the mat. Choosing from the colors of the image, I used Stampin’ Up!’s Early Espresso card stock for the background and Bazzill orange paper for the letters. The dies used to cut. The letters are from stamping up also.

I know that I had the sentiments “Happy” and “Day” somewhere in my stash, but I was unable to easily find them, so I simply printed out those words on Speckletone Oatmeal card stock. To tie it all together, I used strips of plaid paper and finished it off with some gold Stickles. 

If you have a Golden Retriever in your life and would like to use this image, feel free to snag it below. I made a few changes and put it on a cute background. I’m sure Maggie won’t mind! 

Here's the free digi. As always:

  1. Snag it to your desktop or photos.
  2. Put it in a Word or Pages Document.
  3. Resize it to the size card you want to make.
  4. Print it out, either at home or at a copy center. 
I hope you enjoy the freebie! Remember that all images are for personal use only, please! Thanks for stopping by my blog today and have a wonderful day!
