Cat Cards As A Gift

 Hello & Happy Thursday, Friends!

I am so excited to see my 2 good friends this morning for a Stamp Day!

I haven't seen them since early December so there is so much to catch up on while making cards! It's also to be the nicest & warmest day of the next week. I am in major need of some adult socialization and lots of warm sunshine! 

Today I am sharing a set of cat cards that Audrey ordered last month for a friend who adores cats. I made a Christmas card with a cat on for her and then she requested 4 more cards that she could gift her friend with as a nice little gift. I will share the Christmas card again and then the 4 extra cards. The extra cards do not have any sentiments on them as Audrey requested.

Pets & More HB

 Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

Today I have a sweet little birthday card to share that is for the cat lover in your life.

I was going thru my card rack recently and noticed that my "cat & dog birthday" slot was empty. I decided to grab my Pets & More stamp set and got busy on refilling that slot. This card uses the cat stamp and I paired it with some A Little Latte paper. It turned out so cute!

Card Details:

Stamps: Pets & More (retired Online Exclusives), Turtle & Friends (retired sentiment)

Ink: Pecan Pie, Calypso Coral

Cardstock: Pecan Pie, Calypso Coral, Basic White, A Little Latte DSP (retired Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Dotted Circles 3D EF, Corrugated Elements (retired), Calypso Coral Shimmer Gems (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The Pets & More stamp set is no longer available but it was on the Online Exclusives list last year. It is a reversable stamp which means you can stamp one side in a light solid color then flip it over for a more detailed image that gets stamped overtop of the solid image. So fun and what a neat idea! Plus I love that this set is photopolymer so you can see where your stamping with it! Win win!

This card is now on my card rack for sale.

Thinking Of You....

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

The weather here in PA was simply delightful! 

I wish it could stay this way all year long!

Yesterday I delivered a card order then took a ride on the Rail Trail on the bikes and ended the day with alittle R&R at home. The girls loved being out in the yard all evening. It actually played them out and they slept all night thru!

Today it's back to the normal routine of Shawn going back to work, 

Laundry & lasanga is on my list of "To Do's" then the plan is also to grab the bikes when he gets in from work and get another ride in while our weather is still nice. 

Trying to take advantage of it while it's nice because the muggy's will be back later this week, unfortunately!

 I have a quick card to share that I made for a card order.

I'm not sure what the reason for this card was but I was pretty happy with the outcome!

This card uses alot of old stuff from my stash and that's ok since I am loving the colors and that adorable kitty stamp! My customer loved it!

Kitty Thinking of You Card:

Stamps: Meow Meow, Sincere Saluations (both sets are retired)

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Cardstock: Chcolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, DCWV (old pad)

Accessories: Lil Inkers Stitched Rectangle Dies, Tempting Turquoise Grosgrain Ribbon, Turquoise Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue,,,

I also wanted to let you know that my customer loved the Loyal & True card from yesterday!

She was so thrilled with it and said she could not wait to see her grandson to give it to him!

She is such a sweet lady!

Helps to kick start my day!

That's all for now!

Pretty Kitty HB

Hello & Happy Saturday!

My customer asked for a birthday card with a cat on it.

I pulled out some retired Cheerful Treat DSP from SaleABration 2011 and a current stamp set called Pretty Kitty.

This is what I made.

Since I am not good with coloring I just stamped my image in a solid color and left it at that.

HB Kitty Card:

Stamps: Pretty Kitty, Balloon Adventures (sentiment)

Ink: Concord Crush

Cardstock: Concrod Crush, Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Cheerful Treat DSP (SAB 2011)

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Scalloped Circle Nestibilities, Word Window & Modern Label Punches, Melon Mambo 1/8 Taffeta Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dot, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

There are alot of cute images in the Pretty Kitty set that I love! 

I need to use this set more often but most times I reach for an oldie but goodie set called Meow Meow! 

That set has been used hard over the years!

******************************************************

Yes, my thoughts again today.....

When will it ever stop????

That is all for today!

Thanks for popping in!

Enjoy the holiday weekend!
