Purr-fect Valentine Card

Happy Valentine's Day! I have a quick post to share the card I made for my hubby. You won't see any pink on this Purr-fect Valentine Card. The background was created with the Tumbling Hearts Stencil by Newton's Nook and the stamp set is called Furry Kisses by Simon Says Stamp. Distress inks in Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers were used along with a Classic Stampin' Pad in Tempting Turquoise by Stampin' Up!. To color the cats I used Copic markers in Cool Gray and Black tones. To help pull in the eyes I used a piece of black diagonal striped paper and matted the focal panel to it. That's pretty much it, a simple Purr-fect Valentine Card. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day.

Here is a picture of a couple of our kitties all snuggled up together. These two really love each other and had an immediate bond, it's so sweet. The smaller tortie is the kitten we rescued back in December, she is getting big.

Happy Fall Card

Hello! Each day we are inching closer to Fall/Autumn and that makes me very happy. We are expecting a small cool front to come in for the weekend and I'm eager for the ninety degree weather to go away. This afternoon I took a break from sewing and made this Happy Fall Card. The stamp set by Newton's Nook was and exclusive to Simon Says Stamp last year and is one of my favorites for Fall. All patterned paper is from the new Pebbles Woodland Forest paper pad. The image was colored with Copic markers and the layout is from the current sketch at Paper Play Sketches. I really enjoyed making this card, so I may make a couple more just like it to send to family and friends. Thanks for stopping by my blog today and I hope you come back again soon.

Bunny Peep Card

Hello! I hope you've had a great day! It's rained most of the day at my house which made the perfect excuse to play in my craft room. I decided to make another card using the My Kind of Peeps stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. Click here for the other card I made. This Bunny Peep Card is a little brighter but equally as cute!

All patterned paper are from the Hello Sunshine paper pad by Doodlebug Designs Inc. I used Bermuda Bay cardstock as the base layer and Bermuda Bay twine for detail. The grass was punched with a Fiskars punch. That's pretty much it!

My Kind of Peep Card

Hello and happy Friday! Last week I ordered a new stamp set called My Kind of Peeps from Simon Says Stamp. They are so much fun! The little peeps are a great way to use scrap patterned paper or you could color them if you want.

My card was inspired by one of the examples provided by Simon Says Stamp. I added some punched grass, used different papers and moved the sentiment but kept the center panel and peeps in the same position. The little Peeps are just too cute!

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

• Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes
• 4 Crafty Chicks: Gingham
• Simply Papercraft: Anything Goes
