Supplies used: Glue, Foam Tape.

Dog:

1. Die-cut a cream circle and a dark brown circle using the 1 5/8” Framelits circle die.
2. Die-cut a cream circle and a light brown circle using the 1 ¼” Framelits circle die.
3. Take the 1 ¼” die and place it halfway over the edge of the light brown die-cut and run through the machine. Glue the resulting shape onto the larger cream circle.
4. Place the 1 5/8” die about 1 ½” over the edge of the dark brown die-cut shape and run through the machine. Repeat this three times.
