Be Pawsitive!

 Hi friends!  Today I am sharing another card that I created for the Kat's Meow Release from Kat Scrappiness.  I seriously love this release!   It is also perfect for the 2022 Cat Lover's Hop, which if you haven't checked it out, it is a TON of fun!  There are some amazing projects being shared and some super cool giveaways! 

For my card, I colored this adorable kitty and his accessories from the Pawsome Cats Stamp Set with Copics (listed below), cut them out using the coordinating dies, and set them aside.

 I paired a few of the patterned papers from The Kat's Meow 6 x 6 Paper Pad and some glitter washi tape to create a "chair rail" effect.  I used the Stitched Nesting Hexagon Dies to create a background for my furry friend and arranged him and his treats on top.  I really love how versatile the hexagon dies are!  You can create frames using two of the dies or create a panel using one die.

I heat embossed the sentiment from the Pawsome Cat Sentiments Stamp Set and used the coordinating dies to cut it out.  To complete my card, I layered the sentiment over a loopy bow of metallic baker's twine using foam dots.

Colors Used: 

Stripes - N10, N8, N6, N4

Body/Milk Carton/Fish - C3, C2, C0

Yarn/Milk Label - R85, R83, R81, RV00

I had a lot of fun creating this card!  I hope you have been inspired to do something crafty today! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Keep Calm and Purr On!

Hi friends!  Have you checked out the Kat's Meow Release from Kat Scrappiness, yet?  It is a cat lover's dream!   Today, I am sharing a card that I created for the release, but I created it for my dad!  This kitty soooo reminded me of his cat, Grady!  She is such a princess and we all just love her! 

I colored up the kitty from the Pawsome Cats Stamp Set with Copic in the Warm Grey family. (W10, W8, W6, W4, W2), used the coordinating dies to cut it out and set it aside.  

When I saw this stamp, I envisioned the cat sprawled out in a cat bed, so I used my Cricut to cut one out using some cardstock and one of the patterns from The Kat's Meow 6 x 6 Paper Pad.   I layered some coordinating cardstock colors with another piece of the patterned paper and I used the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle Dies on each layer to add interest.

Before I adhered them to the card front, I wrapped it with crochet thread and tied a bow.  I heat embossed my sentiment from the Pawsome Cats Sentiments Stamp Set and die-cut it using the coordinating dies.  For the last, but not least bit, I made a ball of "yarn" using the crochet thread.  I have to admit, that was the hardest part of this entire card.  I kept dropping it... it was so frustrating, but I think it was 100% worth it!   I also added some Clear AB Glass Bubbles for some additional dimension. 

I seriously can't wait to give this card to my dad!  I think he will be over the moon!    Do you have a cat lover in your life that would be able to appreciate this cutie!?  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

If Cat's Could Talk..... They Wouldn't!

Hi friends!  Today, I am taking part in the 2022 Cat Lover's Blog Hop.  Kat Scrappiness is one of the sponsors, so I used items from the brand new Kat's Meow release to create a fun card.

I created a background using the Fish Bones 6 x 6 Stencil on Bristol Smooth cardstock and layered it up on lilac cardstock and set it aside. 

I colored up the snobby cat image and a food and water dish from the Pawsome Cat Stamp Set using Copic Markers (listed below), die-cut them using the coordinating Pawsome Cat Dies, and set them aside.  I stamped one of the sentiments from the Pawsome Cat Sentiment Stamp Set and created a banner.  I added some tangled metallic silver thread and layered my elements over the top of it.  Lastly, I added some White AB Glass Bubbles.

Colors Used:

Cat - E09, E99, E97, C1, C0

Collar - V09, V06, V05, Y28, Y26

Food Bowl - BV08, BV13, BV02, BV00, E18, E15

Water Bowl - BG18, BG15, BG13, BG11, BG10, B14, B12, B00, B000

I really love this card!  I had a ton of fun creating it!  I think my dad will get a kick out of this!
