Pretty Kitty Birthday Card

The Pretty Kitty stamp set is one of my favorite images to team up with our Watercolor Pencils since since I can create a softer image. Check out this card I made recently for one of my friends who is a cat lover.

I needed a larger birthday sentiment, so I reached for my Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set since I love the fonts used in it. So what do you think?

I’ve created a quick tutorial for you and have included the supply list below.

Bella & Friends

Puppies and kittens, oh my. Who can resist these adorable little friends? I know in my house spring always brings requests from our daughter, Kaitlin for a new addition to the family. LOL!

And since she mentioned it again the other day, it reminded me I had some wonderful cards I found in my office I meant to share with you that I received in swaps.

This first card is from Janet who used our Brights Collection Designer Series Paper Stack (138434) along with the Happy Heart Embossing Folder (137364).

And Marni gave me this card using the classic black & white combo

These next two cards Aparna created.

I thought the way she used the circle punch to create the cut out in the corners was clever. And the Moroccan Designer Series Paper (141645) teamed up with Delight Dijon card stock gives this card a more masculine feel.

And finally a couple of cards from Annmarie –

Quick and easy designs that you can make multiples of. And how about this card she made using the Pretty Kitty (141861/141864) and the retiring Decorative Label Punch (120907)?

Like I said, who can resist these sweet little faces?

Team Time & Swapping

Inspire, Share and Create – That’s what we do as a team once a month at our meetings when we get together. Today’s items that I’ll be sharing with you are swaps that were made by my fellow team members, a group of wonderful stampers! While we’ve all been stamping for different lengths of time it’s amazing how much we learn from each other! Oh, and did I mention we just have fun?

This first card is one that Mary made. It’s a peekaboo pullback card using the Watercolor Wings stamp set (139424) and Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies (138135).

Done in the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper (141663) and using just two colors – it’s quite striking.

How how about this card Cindy made using the Hey, Chick (Sale-a-bration item 143328/143331) and Greatest Greetings (140703/140706) stamp sets.

Cindy used the Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper (142778) and Woodgrain Embossing Folder (127821) to create a fun textured background for this little water colored image.

And how about some fun goodies too? Deborah made these fun little bags using the Oh, So Succulent Bundle (145184) and wrapped it all up with a bow!

If you haven’t felt the Succulent Garden 3/8″ Ribbon (142781) – it’s sooo soft and luxurious feeling. I wasn’t sure about this suite of products when I first saw them, but I’ve definitely added them to my wish list!

And finally a little file folder filled with a Ghiradelli chocolate. I love the soft colors of the Cupcakes & Carousel Designer Series Paper Stack (142744) Cindy teamed up with the the  Designer T stamp set (Sale -a-bration item 143356)  sentiment. Can you guess where the sentiment on the tab comes from?

Well it’s the Pretty Kitty stamp set (141861/141864). Of course, the cloud and little bird are from the Tree Builder Punch (138295). Fun right and who wouldn’t smile when they got this little treat? If you’d like to learn how to make these little treat folders you can click HERE to see my video tutorial.
