Purr-fect Day

The purr-fect day around here would be rain, hard to believe I'm saying that tho!

I stamped these with my Misti, they needed several stampings to get the black looking nice and crisp.  Might be time to ink up my ink pad....  I colored some of the bowties with a red marker and mounted the image on a red background.  The stamp is called "Hipster Cats" and is from Technique Junkies. 

 

 

 

Woof!

I know I've used this dog die before.  I was going through paper stacks and came across some that just yelled out they needed the dog die.  So I fished out the paw print die, cut out a few of those and assembled the dogs and voila, I couldn't stop at one or two.  

World Card Making Day

I forgot about World Card Making Day!  I actually did these over the entire weekend, not just on that day.  I was rooting through my paper pile and found the Mickey paper, so those were easy and quick.  The smiley faces were pretty easy too, although I did manage to get out some embossing powder for a change of pace.  The dog paper was just staring at me also, and so those were some more quickies.  All in all, I was happy with the weekend's production.  I hope you all (Carol - LOL!!) enjoyed World Card Making Day too!
 

Brownies

I was watching a lot of videos on youtube the other day and was inspired to use my distress oxides and brushes.  I made the backgrounds and then spent a day mulling over what to do next.  I finally pulled out the little brownies, unmarked, unmounted stamps that I've had for years and years.  Then it was just a matter of finding some appropriate branches and flower stamps to frame them with.  I had so much fun that I made 6.

 

 

Postage Themed Cards

I jumped on the postage themed bandwagon.  It took a bit of searching to find stamps that would work but I think both of these came out ok.  I don't have the layering stencil to go with the die (I thought I could save some $$$) so I ended up using very narrow post-it tape.  It worked out but was a bit of a pain so I would have to now recommend getting the die along with the stencil.

Catheads

A bit of trouble wrapping my head around this one.  First I cut the die out of white and thought I'd color the cats that way, but it just wasn't working out, and that fail went in the trash.  Black worked out much better but I'm not thrilled with the green glitter eyes.  Seems kind of creepy.  LOL

 

Porthole

I spent a lot of time on this unnecessarily.  I used oxide sprays on the circle for the water, and none of it shows up because I put acetate over it to make it look like a window.  Anyway, still happy about how it came out.  It's from Spellbinders, called Coastal Escape.  

 

Sofa Dogs

I call these "dogs on sofa".  The darn dogs are so small that it was difficult to color them.  I also forgot I had the border die set for the paws.  I'm glad I found it, it wasn't in the stamp drawer marked "dogs" where it clearly belonged.  No wonder I can't put things together, nothing is where it belongs!  Now that the weather is cooler, maybe it will be time for an entire craft room overhaul!  (not looking forward to that)
