have a purrfect day

Kitty is from Penny's Black 'purrfect day' clear stamp collection
What's a kitty without bling?  I added Waterfall Stickles to the collar
I used the Copic Collection C for the kitty, it's the only copics I own :-( 

I saw a card where they had cut the primary mat and slid another under the slits.
I really like this look.

Printed papers are the 6x6 Bo Bunny Ad Lib Collection

Sentiment is a My Sentiments Exactly Rub on

This gorgeous ribbon was a close out, 90% off!, from my LSS
79 cents for 10 yards of wire rimmed ribbon,
what a bargain!!!

Graduate

I recently received an announcement of a Graduation.

I thought it would be nice to incorporate portions

of her card in the congratulations one

I sent back.

The colored date strip, diploma and hat

are all from the original announcement.

The year numbers are also from the announcement.

The Graduate on the outside and the sentiment here

are both rub ons from My Sentiments Exactly.

Wallpaper Roses

I used a Wallpaper border trimmed to fit my mat for the front of my card.
I went over the shadowed areas of the flowers
with my Copic marker to give it a little more depth
The sentiment is from My Sentiments Exactly, a rub on.
Love Wallpaper!

Sending You....

This is the fourth of this set for my friend.  Now can you see why I scooped up these new K & Co Paper packs?  I guess after the snow, cool temps and cloud cover here in Southern Utah I was drawn to something bright and Springy!  This again is the Spring Blossom Paper Pad. 

This petal soft yellow flower is one cut from the White Rose Trim put out by Bo Bunny.  I again used my Gold Glow Smooch spray and rubbed the tops lightly with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  The great yellow ribbon I picked up at my LSS for 85% off after season last year.  I love it because it's wire edged. 

Sentiments also from My Sentiments Exactly as the previous 3 cards.  I bungled up the inside and rubbed the sentiment on crooked so I had to improvise by adding another ink edge mat and a new sentiment.  That's the glory of paper crafting you can almost always hide the goobers!  The top mat, Daisy Garden, is from the Spring Blossom Seed Pocket Die-Cut Cardstock package.  I've never used these little packages of goodies until someone gave me one as a gift at Christmas time.  As you can see I'm really loving how they can finish off my cards.

So sorry I can't remember who made this stick pin, it's from the November Stick It To You swap at Your Paper Pantry.  If you recognize your handiwork please let me know so I can give you credit!

Another for my gift set of cards.  This is the back side of the paper from the previous post.  I used a new EK Success border punch I got for 80% off at JoAnns, what a deal!!!  The punch is called Graceful Heart which will be perfect for Valentines!

The die cuts are precut from K & Co in their Spring Blossom Icons Die-Cut Cardstock and Acetate Collection.

I really like this ribbon punch from Fiskars and must admit I often forget I have it and don't use it as often as I could.  It's called Leaver It to Weaver.

Sentiments are the Inspirations/Encouragement set from My Sentiments Exactly.  I sprayed the inside of the card with Gold Glow Smooch Spray, it's a little hard to see here but it gives the inside a great shimmer.

When the going gets tough....

This is a set of inspirational cards I'm making for a friend.  Paper collection Spring Blossom by Susan Winget - K & Co.

Bravo!

We have a young friend who recently competed in the Bands of America which had their regional finals here in St George. Well low and behold they took first place (Clovis West High School in Clovis CA). We are so proud of him and his accomplishments and I wanted to make a card just personally for him.

The colors are his school colors gold and maroon. Papers are a mat stack I bought from Target (yeah can you believe Target?) they also came with matching color envelopes. The card base is AC Damask that I picked up at Tuesday morning, just love this cardstock, if you see it grab it!

The gold mat has been embossed with my Cuttlebug and the Musical embossing folder. Grungeboard # and Number 1 are Tim Holtz run through my XYRON upside down and then glittered (Yah Wooo I finally remembered to do this, works so slick). Bravo is a rub on from My Sentiments Exactly.  All edges inked with Distress Ink.

Congrats Jer, we are super proud of you!!!

Thanks

I picked up a K&Company paper pak called Tim Coffey Fall and fell in love with the double side papers in it. These are all included in that pack. I used the Leave it to Weaver Fiskars border punch to thread the ribbon and punched the opposite side with the Apron Lace border punch. The butterfly was punched twice an EK Success punch. I put the bottom one flush then heavily Glossy Accented the top one and popped it up. The sentiment is a rub on from My Sentiments Exactly. Edges inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
