Create Custom Holiday Gift Wrap Featuring Your Pets!

Since I love presents about as much as I love rolling in stink on the farm (and that’s a lot!), I’m so excited to share with you Stardust Prints! They’re an online shop that can help you “Unwrap Imagination” by creating your very own custom gift wrap.

See, if you look a little closer, you’ll notice that cute little dachshund in a Santa hat on my gift wrap is me!! How cool is that?

At Stardust prints you can upload your own photo and have it turned into wrapping paper!

Since Christmas is almost here, and I’ve got lots of goodies to wrap up for all my dog friends, I decided to use a photo of me from last year in my Santa hat. (but you can use any photo, even one that has a distracting background)

Then you can choose a wrapping paper design from Stardust Prints. They have several to choose from, and not just Christmas themed ones either.

I decided to go with the Hot Choc pattern, if only because it had an awesome polar bear on it!

Then the folks at Stardust Prints cuts the star of your photo (that’s me of course) out of it’s background, add it to your wrapping paper design, and mail you a 24 x 72-inch roll, which is enough to wrap 3-5 presents.

When it arrived it was almost too cute to unwrap….but that didn’t really stop me from sinking my teeth in!

Well that is until mom informed me that there would be no unwrapping of gifts until December 25th. Boohoo!

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Today I have a really fun product to share with you that I think you (and your dog) are going to LOVE. The cute little hand knit item above is a snood from the talented Angela at Snug-A-Bull.

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Just what exactly is a snood? Well essentially it’s a neck warmer and a hood for dogs that’s all wrapped in to one.

What’s a little different about the Snug-A-Bull snoods is that they can even come with these cute little ear holes to make sure they stay put on your dog.

You may have also noticed that my snood from Snug-A-Bull came personalized with my name on it. All their snoods can be personalized with not only names, but custom colors and sometimes even patterns too!

I even noticed on their website that they can ADD cute little fleece ears to their snoods (think adorable bear like hood on your pup) – I just might have to pick up one of those someday, because we all know I look fantastic dressed as wild animals.

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My dark green and teal snood from Snug-A-Bull has come in handy lately, because even though it’s supposed to be Spring in Pennsylvania it’s still quite cold here (and we even got snow on the First Day of Spring!).

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

A fun little fact about Snug-A-Bull, their shop mascots are named Bruce Wayne and Alfred. As a dog who loves everything super heroes himself….that’s just so cool!

Customization is one of my favorite things. If you want something cool, then you might as well design it yourself! So when I stumbled across Good Dog Leash, I just knew I had to share their customizable leash options.

By choosing a handle and a coil you can piece together many different color combinations and lengths. How fun!

12 Days of Cheer! Easy DIY Gold Dog Ornaments // Ammo the Dachshund

Optional Supplies:

Glitter
Alphabet Rubber Stamps

12 Days of Cheer! Easy DIY Gold Dog Ornaments // Ammo the Dachshund

Step 4: (optional) You can stamp a name or word into your ornament using the rubber stamps if you choose. It’s a great way to personalize them for all your friends! (no ink required as you will be painting them later)

Step 5: Allow the model magic ornaments to dry for several days so that they harden. (they will harden faster if you set them near a heat source (not on it!) and remove them from the wax paper)

Step 6: Once your ornaments have hardened you can add a few coats of gold spray paint (or really any color you like). Optional – add some glitter by sprinkling it on while your paint is still wet.

Then just add some twine and your ornaments are ready to hang on your tree or gift to a friend!

Outfitting a Super Hero with CafePress

Posted on April 3, 2013 by Ammo

You might remember a few weeks ago when the fine folks over at CafePress offered up a giveaway to one of my lucky readers. Well they also offered me a chance to take some of their custom products for a spin too – so I’m back to share with you just what I ordered.

So I browsed through their custom items and decided to try out their small round pet id tag and some 2.25″ buttons.

With the help of my personal designers (mom and dad) I used the Cafepress design tool and uploaded my logo for the pet tag and buttons. You can opt to upload an image or enter you own text and shapes with their design tools. I decided not to make my tag an “identification tag”, but instead just a little something something to add bling to my super hero outfit when I perform.

After uploading my designs for each item I checked them to make sure they would look right and not be cut off at all on the products.

Then a few short days later my custom items arrived in the mail! Yippee!

The pet tag came with a tiny clasp on it, but my hefty collar from Mattie & Margot was a bit too large for it to fit on. This was easily remedied with a Rubit clip (which I use on all my id tags anyway) that I had laying around the house.

So I pinned on my new button (which probably mom and dad will end up wearing most of the time – but I wanted to be the first to try it)….

….and snapped on my new tag to add that special bling bling to my Super Hero outfit.

You also may notice that I am wearing my gold letter A, which was the clear winner when I asked all of you which embroidered patch I should add to my costume! I agree, the gold is just the right color – thanks to everyone who weighed in with their vote.

I’m now ready for my big performance this month at the Spring Doxie Fest! I hope you’ll come meet me and see how stellar I look with all my new custom designed CafePress items!

You can get your own customized products at Cafepress, and you’ll find millions of one-of-a-kind designs on every topic you can imagine like dachshund jewelry, pet bowls, and gifts for dog lovers.

I received some cafepress products to review on my blog, but all opinions are entirely my own.
