Pretty Kitty Card

I made another card to send to Jennifer.  She loves cats as well as dogs, so I decided to make her a  card with SU's Pretty Kitty stamp set.  I have used this stamp set before and I love the images.  When I find a card/image of something that like, I print it out for later use.  I have been making a concentrated effort to go through my pile of papers and finally do something with them.  Either make the project or through the item away.  According to the print date on the paper, this was done a few years ago!  That should tell you how high my pile of papers are!

I used Real Red CS for my base card with Whisper White for my layer.  I embossed it with my heart folder and when I was photographing the card I realized I had placed the hearts upside down!!  Oh well, I wasn't going to throw it out and start over.  I used some red/white twine and Spellbinder dies for my squares to frame my image which I colored light grey.

I used the same stamp set for my inside sentiment and kitty!  Aren't they so cute!!  My daughter told me she is going to get a decorative box for Jennifer to put all my cards in when she can go shopping again as her drawer is full!!  It still hasn't warmed up here much.  We had freezing temperatures every night so far this week.  I have to say though that my flowers are holding up pretty well under these conditions.  I am hoping that some of the quarantines will be lifted soon.  My hair is no longer short!!  Another thing we take for granted.  Please be safe!

Sarah's Birthday Card

Well, today our Sarah turns 17 years old!  Where has the time gone?  I don't get to see her as much as when they lived with us, but so enjoy our visits when we get them.  I saw this cute card on Pinterest and decided to CASE it.  It uses SU's Pretty Kitty stamp set.  For my base card, I used Lemon Lime Twist CS and Wildflower Field DSP.

The measurements for the frame were Rich Razzleberry - 3 1/4" x 2 1/2", Lemon Lime Twist - 3 " x 2 1/4" and Whisper White - 2 x 2 3/4".  I used some ribbon I had on hand to cover where the two papers meet and tied a knot. 

I used my markers to color in the little Kitty and then popped it up with dimensionals.  I always make two cards of each design.  This one I used Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set for my sentiment and used my oval punches with a little enamel heart.

For my inside, I added some extra DSP and the sentiment is from Pretty Kitty.   The second card I decided to use another sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

I left the inside blank so I can write something in it.

The weather is getting warmer, so I hope to see some of my flowers popping up soon.  For me this has been a long winter and will be happy to shed the winter coats, etc.  Jennifer was up visiting yesterday and helped me with my Easter decorations.  I love this time of year.  Have a great week!

Pretty Kitty Thinking of Your Card

I was looking through my stash and decided that I needed some "Thinking of You" cards.  I saw this cute take of the Pretty Kitty SU stamp set and decided to make it.  This is such a cute set!  I decided to use one of my favorite colors - Sweet Sugarplum for my base CS.  My layer was done in Whisper White.  I used my Stitched Framelits for my circles and my Spellbinders die for the Scalloped circles.

I used dimensionals to pop up my circles so that they would stand out a bit.  I actually found some ribbon in my stash that matched the Sweet Sugarplum CS pretty good along with some colored rhinestones.

I think they turned out so cute with all the different kitties!  I used the Count My Blessing Stamp set from SU for my inside sentiment along with some scraps of DSP.

Hard to believe that the weekend is here already.  We finally got some tomatoes and peppers from the garden.  The deer have been helping themselves to all Joe's hard work!  Have a great weekend and see you back here next week!

Pretty Kitty Birthday Card

Here's another card I found in my stash that I didn't post!  I made it for a friend's birthday who loves cats!  This stamp set is so cute.  I saw this card on pinterest and used supplies that I had on hand to make it.

My layers were SU's Smokey Slate, Whisper White and Powder Pink.  I used some scrap DSP paper that I thought looked like a wall for the kitties to hide behind.  I stamped, colored and cut a few of them out and positioned them behind the wall.  I used SU's stamp set Happy Birthday Gorgeous for my sentiment on Whisper White and popped it up with dimensionals.  I also punched out a heart in Powder Pink to place on the wall.  Here is a picture of the inside sentiment.

Well, I have started some Valentine projects, so my craft room is a mess!  I love this holiday with all the pretty hearts.  Jennifer has also put her request in for some goodies for her classmates as well.  We will see how it goes!!  Have a great weekend everyone.
