Pretty Kitty meets Petal Garden

Hello! The summer heat is getting stronger and that means I stay indoors and craft! This time of year I run all my errands after dark. Going to the grocery store at 10 p.m. is perfect if you like to shop almost by yourself and I do! My hubby and I dream about moving to a cooler climate but for now... we are in sunny Oklahoma.

When I think of summertime I think of the pretty flowers and outdoor animals. So, I made this Pretty Kitty meets Petal Garden Card to combine both. This is the third card in my Pretty Kitty meets series. You can check out Pretty Kitty meets Playful Palette and Pretty Kitty meets Gorgeous Grunge. Don't be surprised that the layouts are all the same, the only thing that changes are the patterned paper and background stamp set. I love seeing the same card is different colors. You don't have to reinvent new layouts all the time, if you find something that works use it.

This Pretty Kitty meets Petal Garden Card is entered into the following challenges:

Stampin' Up! supplies include:
  • Paper: Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, Calypso Coral and Sweet Sugarplum cardstock along with Garden Petal dsp.
  • Stamps: Pretty Kitty, Timeless Textures and Papillon Potpourri (retired).
  • Inks: Memento black and Classic Stampin' pads in Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Calypso Coral, Sweet Sugarplum, Rich Razzleberry, Peekaboo Peach and Soft Sky.
  • Other Stuff: Blender Pen, bitty butterfly punch (retired), old olive twine (retired), basic pearls and stampin' dimensionals. 
The past couple of months I've been watching a cute baby cottontail in my backyard. It loves to eat petunias and I found some at half price that I planted for it. My hubby planted the pot in the photo with some petunias that were dying but it hasn't stopped little Bun Bun from eating them. The sweet little bunny has also decided it likes to eat the leaves off my perennials, but they will grow back. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Pretty Kitty meets Playful Palette

Do you like to play around with color? I love making similar cards and changing the colors to compare the differences. That's exactly what I did with this Pretty Kitty meets Playful Palette Card*. It is a remake of the Pretty Kitty meets Gorgeous Grunge card I posted yesterday. I added an additional strip of patterned paper and twine to this card to show how small changes can make a difference. The background stamping on this card was done using the Timeless Textures stamp set. The splatters in this stamp set are small and it was turned and repeated several times, using the stamp off technique occasionally to give the ink a lighter shade. So, which one do you like better, Playful Palette or Gorgeous Grunge?


This Pretty Kitty meets Playful Palette Card is entered into the following challenges:
*All supplies are by Stampin' Up! unless noted: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum and Blushing Bride cardstock, Playful Palette paper pad, Pretty Kitty stamp set, Timeless Textures stamp set and Papillon Potpourri stamp set. Classic stampin' pads in: Peekaboo Peach, Blushing Bride, Emerald Envy and Sweet Sugarplum. Memento black ink pad, Copic markers in warm gray tones, Bitty Butterfly punch, Emerald Envy twine, stitched circle die cut by My Favorite Things and basic pearls. That's it!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Pretty Kitty meets Gorgeous Grunge

If you are anything like me when you get new supplies you may neglect your older stash. This especially happens with patterned paper and retired ink colors! I'm a patterned paper junkie and I'll never use it all. So, today I pulled out the retired Moonlight paper pad and created this card using the new Pretty Kitty stamp set with the current Gorgeous Grunge stamp set, both by Stampin' Up! Some of the colors are retired and some are current and they include: Basic Gray, Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon and Whisper White. The flowers in the kitty image were colored with a blender pen and ink pads, while the gray pot was colored with Copic markers. A butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set was added with three rhinestones for sparkle and that's it. The layout is simple and everything was adhered flat for easy shipping.
