Love Cats - Hanging Out
Love Cats - Hanging Out
Hello my stamping friends.
Are you ready for some more LOVE CATS cards? I hope so, because today I have two!
The first one I got the idea from a catalog sample in the Spring Mini Catalog. Here it is with the basic card layout breakdown. Followed by my CASED project.

Basic Layout Breakdown Cardbase DSP - slightly smaller than front of card in dimensions, and positioned on an angle to the side of the card Circle Die-Cut center embellishment Image - center Ribbon Trim Embellishment Smaller Sentiment |
So my first card is the Mint Macaroon based card. I used the Country Gingham DSP for my background DSP panel. Then I the largest circle die from the Stylish Shaped dies and this selection of DSP from the Country Floral DSP package. Next I stamped my cat with Soft Suede ink and used my Stamparatus so that I could apply more than one layer of ink to the image.
Now trim out the cat with your Paper Snips as close to the image as possible. Then I run a length of the Tahihan Tide Sparkle Ribbon under the kitty’s belly and wrap the ends onto the back of the die-cut circle. That whole image then gets added with dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped with Tahihan Tide ink and die-cut with a smaller circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. And I added color coordinated gems for a little sparkle. Sorry the gems I used are retired, but they worked so well!
Okay, so are you ready for project two? Whenever I die-cut a circle from DSP, I always try to use the framed circle cut in another project. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This time it did. Here is the second project.
So you can see, for this project I did keep to standard framing of layers, all squared off to the edges of the card. I started with another piece of the Country Floral DSP, this time in Petal Pink and layered that onto a Petal Pink cardbase. Then the “scrap” circle die-cut was used to create a window for the cat to sit in front of.
The cat was stamped with Soft Suede again on the Stamparatus, and trimmed out with paper snips. The sentiment was inked with a marker and then stamped on Basic White. This die comes from the Stitched Rectangular die set. All those layers are added with dimensionals.
To make the window idea a little more convincing I used my Twigs & Sprigs Hybrid embossing folder and coordinating die. First emboss a Mint Macaroon piece of cardstock with the folder, and then line up the die and cut them all out. I used two images. Trimmed them down to fit behind the circle die-cut and added them with liquid adhesive. Again I added gems to color coordinate, but they are retired.
So which one do you like… the green or the pink? Leave me a quick comment below, I always like to hear from you as to if my shared projects inspire your own creations.
Happy Stamping,
Susan
