Hi Friends!
Today I am sharing a
card that I designed using the Simon Says Furry Kisses stamp set along with a
sentiment from the retired Stampin’ Up! set, Short and Sweet.
I love this sweet kitty image from Simon Says Stamp and thought that this card could be used as a Valentine or a general "love you"/"thinking of you" card.
I am working my way through the over 800 sketch challenges at Splitcoaststampers and this card uses the SC443 Sketch for the layout. This sketch was from 2013 and again, I am so thankful that they do not expire :-)
I am also linking
this card to the Simon Says Wednesday “Dies and/or Punches” Challenge (I used the SSS Open Heart Dies and a retired banner die for this card) and the 2 Crafty Critter Crazies May “AnythingGoes” Challenge.
This was a quick and
easy card- heat emboss the kitty images using clear embossing powder and
watercolor with water-based markers. Fussy-cut the image and mount onto a
die-cut rectangle. Mount the panel onto espresso cardstock, trim close to the
edge.
Stamp the sentiment
and heat emboss in the corner of the panel.
Emboss a piece of
white cardstock with a pawprint embossing folder, trim and mount onto espresso
cardstock.
Create a few banners
from designer paper, mount onto espresso cardstock, add to the background panel
and mount onto a white card base.
Adhere the main kitty
panel with dimensional foam (or, I prefer, chipboard).
Die cut and adhere a
few layered hearts to the kitty panel. Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the kitty images (of course, this would be optional) :-)
Add a few rhinestones to finish off the card.
