Black Cat Appreciation Day

 Hello Stampers. Vicky here today, and today, Aug. 17th, is Black Cat Appreciation Day, so I made a couple of cards with our Peeking Cat.

The first one, I stamped on a paper bag and on a white sheet of paper.
I crunched up the bag and lightly put a brown ink pad over the peaks.
I cut out the image on the paper bag and curled the paperback.
The white piece of cardstock was put behind the paper bag's opening.
Stamped Hello in the corner.
Just Peeking In was stamped on white cardstock, cut out, and mounted.

I stamped the Peeking Cat in the corner. I cut the points out and curled them.

The Congratulations 4 Leg Addition saying was stamped and mounted.

I added the Pet Heart in the corner.

I hope you enjoyed the cards, and hug your cat!

Copic Frog Birthday Balloon Card

Hi everyone!  Toni here sharing a cute birthday or congratulations card.  Ooh, or graduation!  I love it when a card can work for multiple occasions!

I first stamped out one of the frog images from the Frog 1 photopolymer set then masked its right side and stamped the balloons from Birthday Set 2 so they would appear behind.  I colored everything up with Copics.

Next I diecut some balloons and sponged them using Distress Oxides with their edges darkened by Catherine Pooler Inks. I had originally planned on having the sentiment on the green balloon in the back but thought the balance was off so instead embossed the Birthday Set 2 sentiment on a black strip and used it as grounding for the frog.

Be sure to check out the 4th of July sale.  It includes everything not already on sale.  Woo hoo!

Graduation Card

 Hello! Nadine here today with a flag banner shaped graduation card. The card can be customized to whatever the graduate's school colors are. The school colors for the card I made are blue and gold, so that is what I used.

I used a flag banner shaped die with navy blue cardstock folded in half to create the card base. I left the top edge of the die hanging over the folded area of the card so it did not cut there and left a hinge for the card to open. I then die-cut out some smaller flag banners, one in gold foiled paper and two in white cardstock. I stamped the Your Future Is Golden sentiment on one of the white pieces. I stamped the Graduation Cap and Diploma Scroll on some scrap pieces of white cardstock, colored them in with Copic Markers, and fussy cut them out. I used some glitter markers to color the tassel on the cap and ribbon in the scroll and then flicked some of the glitter ink onto the front of the card front with the sentiment on it. Matted the card front with gold paper, adhered it to the navy blue card base, and added some confetti sequins.

I adhered the other white flag banner I cut out to the inside of the card and stamped the Congratulations Snarky sentiment on it. My card fits perfectly into an A2 size envelope.

Congratulations On Your New Kitten

Vicky here with you today, and I am sharing the Peeking Cat, and isn't she adorable? What cat doesn't like an empty bag or box? I made this card as congratulation to a family getting a new cat.

I actually used a lunch bag for this. I stamped the Peeking Cat on the bag and spritzed it with water to crunch it up easily. I lightly flattened it out and rubbed a Memento Ink which is a water-based ink over the creases. I again spritzed it to get the ink to soak into the bag. I cut around the bag with deckle scissors. When the bag was still wet, I flattened it out with my hand.

I cut most of the cat image out of the bag. I cut some of the areas around the cat into triangles where the stamp looks like the bag is curled back. 

I stamped the Peeking Cat on a white piece of card stock, colored her, and put her behind the cutout. I curled the triangles and glued them down.

I added a saying on the inside but forgot to take a picture.

This is the stamp I used.

4 Leg Addition 

I also stamped this on the back of the card. Created in 2022
