Head over heels for Love Cats

Posted on by

If you love our 4 legged furry family members or know someone who does you’ll enjoy the Love Cats stamp set (160410) found in the Mini Catalog on page 13. This stamp set is filled with fun images and puny sentiments.

Cute, right? Check out these cards I received in my recent swap using the set. They both use the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper (160375) with it’s cute little heart pattern sheets. This first card is done in Sweet Sorbet and Soft Suede.

I love it’s quick and easy layout and fun fold that allows the peek of Designer Series Paper to show. This card base is a quarter sheet of the Sweet Sorbet for the pop of color behind the Basic White layer that creates the fun fold. The 5 1/2″ x 7″ Basic White card stock has been scored on the 4″ mark to create the offset. Simply apply the strip of Designer Series Paper on the inside and you’ve got this great pop of color. The Stitched with Whimsy Dies (155314) highlight our focal point add some fun interest too.

And this next card uses a simple folding technique in order to allow the image to shine!

Done in our Memento Tuxedo Black and using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch (152709) this is a great card for someone just building their stamping supplies. Punches always make adding the sentiments so easy and also add some dimension. And of course you I love the fact Stampin’ Up! gives us ideas in it’s catalogs too. Do you ever use the ideas to start creating? I know I do, if you’ve never tried why not give it a go? We call it casing – copy and share everything 🙂

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a quick treat box tutorial that I made using this stamp set.
