So Much Goodness, So Little Time!

Hi friends!  Have you seen the new Kat Scrappiness Kat's Meow and Pawsome Dog Add-Ons Releases yet?  If you haven't, you NEED to!   They are a pet lover's dream!  We are celebrating with an Instagram Hop that you will not want to miss!  It is full of amazing inspiration from the Design Team and there is a $25 gift certificate to the Kat Scrappiness shop up for grabs. 

I created two cards for the hop and have been dying to share them with you!  The first is an easel card that stands up on its own but folds flat for mailing.  I colored this adorable cat from the Pawsome Cats Stamp Set with Copic markers (listed below) and used the coordinating Pawsome Cats Dies. 

My sweet kitty, Stanley (or Stan Lee as my husband calls him), is a big fluff ball that will squish himself into any box that is available.  Size doesn't matter, if you ask him!  When I saw this sentiment from the Pawsome Cats Sentiments Stamp Set, I knew I HAD to make a box for my Stanley cat to sit in. 

Here is the inspiration for my card.  I sure do love this guy!  

I cut out the box on my Cricut and I cut a slit in the top of it with a kraft knife, tangled some crochet thread around Stanley, and slid him into the box and adhered with glue.   To create the card, I paired some of the sweet kitty themed papers from the Kat's Meow 6 x 6 Paper Pad and finished the card by adding some Fish Bone Sprinkles to the card front.

My next card is one that I hope I never have to send, but I am so happy to have this beautiful set in case I need it.   By now, you know that I am an animal lover!  Sadly, when our animals leave us, they leave such a huge hole in our hearts.  

I stamped a few of the images from the Rainbow Bridge Stamp Set and die-cut them using the coordinating Rainbow Bridge Dies. I colored the bridge with Copic markers (listed below) and set them aside. 

\I used the A2 Quilted Backdrop Die to create my background.  I embossed the sentiment from the Rainbow Bridge Stamp Set in black and created a banner.   I adhered all of the elements to the card front and finished the card by adding some Clear AB Glass Bubbles.
