Hey Guys!!  I thought I would try something different for today's card.  My friend and downline Nicki came over yesterday for a "play" date and she brought with her the Detailed Floral Thinlits dies.  I have not purchased it YET, because it honestly is not my style.  Although I've seen some BEAUTIFUL projects created with the set, it just wasn't on my radar to purchase.  BUT I went ahead and played with it yesterday and came up with today's card.

I used the die cut as a stencil and used my Watercolor Pencils to color in the flowers on some Watercolor Paper.  After I made it, I had ABSOLUTELY no idea what I was going to do with it.  SO I put it up for the night and came back to it this morning.  I ended up running it through the Hexagons Embossing Folder and decided that this sweet little kitty from the Pretty Kitty stamp set NEEDED to go with it!!  I added a doily from the Delicate White Doilies pack along with a couple of circles from the Layering Circles Dies and the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  Of course I had to finish off the flowers with a touch of shimmer using the Clear Wink of Stella.

I just LOVE the way it turned out!!  The watercolors blended so beautifully with each other and really softened up to create the background.  This is probably one of my fav cards so far!

FB Live Pretty Kitty Purse

FB Live Pretty Kitty Purse

Dimensions: 

Whisper White CS - 7 x 10

Blushing Bride CS - 2 1/4 x 2 1/4

Shimmery White CS - 2 1/4 x 2 1/4

Subtles Designer Series Paper, Blushing Bride - 2 1/2 x 5 1/2, 2 1/2 x 2 3/4

For complete instructions on how to create this purse using the Gift Bag Punch Board, please watch the video below.  

Isn't this just the sweetest little purse?  Of course, I think that the little kitty from the Pretty Kitty stamp set makes it that much cuter!!  I ran across a tutorial on Pinterest to create this bag, but it was for a backpack.  SO I added some Blushing Bride Stitched Satin Ribbon at the top to create a little purse, instead of making it into a backpack (which was cute too!).  

Did you know that Stampin' Up! carries this sweet little print in their Designer Series Paper Stacks?  I just LOVE these paper stacks and LOVE that they come in ALL of the colors that SU! has.  The are SO versatile and the prints are perfect for cards and 3D projects too.  

I used the Gift Bag Punch Board to create this little cutie!!  When I was searching Pinterest for inspiration, I searched specifically for something that used the Gift Bag Punch Board, but that used it in a different way from how it was created to be used.  I cannot remember where I found the tutorial for the original backpack, but if you search Pinterest, I am sure you will find it!!

Pretty Kitty Card 3

Pretty Kitty Card 3

Dimensions: 

Calypso Coral CS - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (card base), 3 x 3, 1 x 5

Whisper White CS - 3 3/4 x 5, 5/8 x 5

Shimmery White CS - 2 3/4 x 2 3/4

Hey Guys!!  Today's card is the last of three cards that I created using the Pretty Kitty stamp set.  If you have not seen the first two, you can find them HERE and HERE.  I just LOVE the simplicity of these cards.  Using Calypso Coral CS and the Calypso Coral Ribbon from the Cupcakes & Carousels Embellishment Kit, with just the Whisper White CS, allows for the focus to be on that sweet kitty peeking out from the flower pot.  

I used the Softly Falling embossing folder to give just a bit of dimension to the Whisper White CS, without pulling the focus away from the image.  To color in the flowers, I used the small Aqua Painter along with Calypso Coral, Sweet Sugarplum, Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron, and Pear Pizzazz stamp pads.  Because I do not have a gray stamp pad, other than the Archival Gray stamp pad, I used the Basic Gray Watercolor Pencil to color in the flower pot.

Dimensions: 

Calypso Coral CS - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (score at 4 1/4), 1 x 5 1/2, 3 x 4 (scalloped oval)

Whisper White CS - 4 x 5 1/4, 5/8 x 5 1/2

Shimmery White CS - 3 x 4 (stitched oval)

Hey Everyone!!  I am just in LOVE with this sweet little kitty from the Pretty Kitty stamp set.  Isn't she the cutest thing EVER??!!  I kept the card simple, because I didn't want to take away from the image.  So I only used one color of cardstock along with Whisper White CS for the embossing and Shimmery White CS to color the image on.

I really can't get enough of the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  I feel like it gives a nice finished look to the oval and frames my image in nicely.  The Layering Ovals Framelits are also a favorite of mine.  The scalloped edge peeking out from the Stitched Oval adds a sweet touch to the overall look of the card.  

Because I don't have all of the markers YET, I use an Aqua Painter along with my ink pads to color in the flowers and kitty.  Top it off with a little shimmer from my FAV tool EVER, the Clear Wink of Stella!!  Who doesn't love a bit of sparkle on EVERYTHING??!!  LOL

Paper & Ink Sketches

Today's card was created using the Paper & Ink Sketch's sketch.  I have to admit, I was not a fan of this sketch when I first saw it.  BUT when I sat down to play with it, I ended up LOVING the way it turned out!!  Gotta love those little kitties from the Pretty Kitty stamp set!!  SO STINKING CUTE!! 

I TRIED to use patterned paper with these kitties, but found that it distracted from the kitties too much.  SO I ended up going with a more clean look and just went with Calypso Coral and Whisper White CS.   The sequins and pearls came from the Sprinkles Embellishments.  The beautiful Calypso Coral ribbon is in the Cupcakes & Carousels Embellishment kit.  LOVE that ribbon!!  

If you would like to play along with the sketch this week, head over to my FB page, Jen's Scrappy Pages.  The sketch challenge is open till next Tuesday the 14th and is open to anyone who would like to play along!!  I will hold a drawing on Wednesday for those who played along to win a fun little goodie to be sent to them!!
