Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Todays card is made using the new Painted Harvest Stamp Set from the Stampin' Up Holiday / Autumn Winter Catalogue

I really love this stamp set and its versatility. It is a 2 step stamp set, which means that you stamp the flower and leaf images in 2 stages - see below. I find it is best to do the lighter stamp first and then the darker one. I have also stamped the lighter stamp and then rotated it and stamped it again to give the effect of more petals.

I love how you don't have to stick to traditional Sunflower colours, but can stamp this flower in any colour combination that you fancy. I have made a demo page below with different colour combinations. The possibilities are limited only by your coloured inks

Stampin'Up! Crazy Cat Lady - Starter Kit Card Cat punch. Weekend Blog

Hello Stamping Friends

Today I am going to show you how to make a Crazy Cat Lady Starter Kit card - I think we all know one of those people and I certainly am one!

This card just kind of happened on its own by accident when I was playing with the new cat punch. It has been so popular that I thought I would do a blog and show you all how to make it.

I made the card using Stampin'Up! (SU) Chocolate Chip cardstock and a matt of SU Punpkin Pie - Halloween colours

First I made up the cat crate using the SU Wood Crate Framelits Dies and SU Wood Textured Designer Series Paper Stack. 

You have to cut 2 matching pieces and make up a full size crate. When the crate is glued together and set, cut it in half longwise so that you have 2 half crates that you can use for 2 cards. 

Take one half and cut it back on the edges to half again as you want it to lie as flat to your card as possible

Using the Stampin'Up! Cat punch, cut out several cats from the Designer Series Paper or from any paper. As you can see below, you can use the part bits of the cats (from the edges of the paper) behind the box to look like full cats. No one will notice, and I wont tell 

Fold back about 1/4 " on each edge and glue the 1/2 crate to the front of your card.

Add your sentiment with demensionals and on this second card I have added some paw prints from the Stampin'Up! Foxy Friends Stamp Set

Card Recipe:-

SU Chocolate Chip Cardstock - 1/2 A4 page folder in half

SU Pumpkin Pie Cardstock - 5 5/8 x 3 7/8"

Very Vanilla Cardstock - 5 3/8 x 3 5/8" for insert and a scrap for the sentiment
