Santa Paws is Coming to Town

I have had so much fun playing with the Sweet Little Stockings Bundle and coordinating designer series paper. Santa Paws is surely coming to town. I'm not sure what this fun fold is called. I guess it's a pop up card. 

I used Pool Party for the base card and Stampin' Blends to colour in the cat and dog. 

Happy stamping x

Eclipsed kitty

I have had this 'eclipse' design in my head since way before Christmas, finally here it is.  I hope you like it as much as I do.  I used the scalloped die from the Seasonal Layers die set to create the pretty edge.  I think it adds a wow factor.

First I die cut the scalloped edge on the card front, saving the off-cut to use inside the card.  Then I stamped the flower border in Basic Gray before punching out the cat.  I then backed the partially cut card front with a piece of basic gray to bring the card front back to it's original size.

I adhered the pink cat on top of 4 layers of cats which I punched out in basic gray, all adhered on top of each other to give the cat dimension and an 'eclipsed' look when glued back in the punched out apeture, hence the continuous stamped border. Thank you for visiting x

A punched out cat added to the inside on top of scalloped edge finished off the card nicely.

Halloween cat treat in a mug

Everyone who attended my classes in October received one of these super cute halloween treat mugs.  There are a number of tutorials on youtube for making mugs using the envelope punch board. I took inspiration form Julie Dematteo's coffee mug treat holder tutorial. I just made mine a tad taller than Julie's.

I am very much a cat person so when I saw the cat punch in the autumn/winter catalogue I was over the moon. I love this punch! The spider's web is from the Sweet Home stamp set, as is the bat that I stamped on the handle. I lightly sponged the edges of the mug with black ink and coloured the rhinestone with an alcohol marker to complete the project.

I don't think I have ever shared a photo of my cat.  She's a pretty long haired tortie,  take a peek at her further down this post...

I remembered to take a photo after making the second batch. I just needed to buy some more treats.

Here's my kitty...  Thanks for stopping by x
