Cat Cards - Dylusions - Cat Among The Pigeons...

Hello,

Three cards for you today featuring Dylusions - Cat Among The Pigeons Stamp Set. These cute cats all seem to have their own personality...

The above cards have Spellbinders Nestabilities S5-022 Labels as a background for the cats. I have once again used Kaisercraft Paper Pads for the patterned backgrounds.

I have left the images uncoloured and have outlined them in jelly roll glitter pens. There is another cat image in this stamp set as well as four boot wearing bird images!

Until next time,

Cat Cards - Scrap FX - Pretty Cat Stamp...

Hello,

Today's cards were created using a Scrap FX stamp, which is an Australian Company who also manufacture chipboard words and shapes. This cat stamp is a really thin foam stamp and stamps out beautifully! I have used patterned paper from Kaisercraft, a cardstock layer and a coloured card base.

On each card, I have added glitter to the cat image by using a liquid glue - which doesn't show up very well in the photos though!

Next time I stamp this cat, I think I will try using a coloured ink - I can just see it stamped in multi coloured ink!

Hope you have an amazing day!

Construction Cards - Kaszazz

Hello

We all know that boys (of all ages), and some girls, love big machines and building things, and don't mind a bit of dirt, so these cards are aimed towards them. Stamps and papers from Kaszazz were used for these creations.

The machines images were stamped with black Archival ink on to yellow card then fussy cut. Black alcohol marker was used to highlight sections. Brads were added to wheels.
Sentiments were stamped on to the background papers and added to white card bases. Torn papers were layered on and the machines added. An enamel dot was added to the top left corner of each card.
What shall we build today?

Till next time

Memories Album

Hello

I have had this post sitting here a while, so now is the time to share. I was originally given the papers as part of a pack, which included the pattern papers and printed acetate overlay sheets.
The album is created from scratch, using lightweight box board as the base for the pages.

The album consists of the covers and eight internal pages.

The cover was created, then the corresponding overlay sheet placed over the top.

Pockets and tags were added to each page.

An overlay sheet was added between these pages.

The album is embellished with die cut flowers, vines, and dragonflies.

Rhinestones, wink of Stella pens, stickles and glossy accents add extra sparkle.

The album is bound with rings and added ribbons.

The End

I hope you enjoy this album, and find it inspiring.

Till next time

Cat Cards featuring Woodware Craft Collection - Les Chats...

Hello,

French for the cats, les chats is a stamp featuring 6 cats. When I have used the stamp on the following cards, I have only used a section of it...

As the patterned Kaisercraft paper is quite detailed, I have kept the colour of the cats very simple - just outlining the images with jelly-roll glitter pens.

The punched edge that the cats are sitting on is a Fiskars punch and rhinestones are the only embellishment used on these cards.

This looks like a little group of happy cats, almost mischievous looking, don't you think?

Back again soon,
