You’re a Crazy Cat Card

Do you have a friend who loves to laugh and always brightens your day? This card is “purr-fect” to return the favor by brightening their day and let them know that they are special to you.

Crazy Cat Card

To make the card extra bright and cheerful, I mixed solid and fundamental papers of the new the Adventure palette: Pansy, Raspberry and Lemon.   The bow on the special kitty is from the Adventure fundamentals ribbon pack. To make sure the teasing message is delivered with love, I added hearts cut with the new Thin Cuts – Hearts.

This card was inspired by this one created by my friend Julia Hammond.

She chose the softer colors of the Whimsy Fundamentals to deliver a similar message. Don’t you love it?

The stamping for both cards is from the August Stamp of the Month, Purr-fect Halloween.

In addition to Halloween, there are stamps of objects that will help you dress your kitty up for many types of events – birthday, circus, dance, etc. As you can see, this stamp set may have “Halloween” in it’s name, but it can be used for many occasions – or no occasion at all!

Remember this stamp set is only available in August and it is specially priced at $5 when you place an order of $50 or more. The new Fundamentals Papers are also on sale this month. When you have the Whimsy, Adventure and Enchantment papers in your cart, you can add one of the Basics Fundamental packs for free!

August Stamp of the Month: Purr-fect for Halloween

The August Stamp of the Month, Purr-fect Halloween, is a whimsical spin on the spooky holiday. This stamp set allows you to create your own costumed feline and has sentiments that work well for both cards and layouts.

Notice the red lines around some of the images? That means that these images are on the Art Philosophy cartridge! So simply cut out the image and then add the detail with the stamp.

Here’s a couple projects made by the artists at Close To My Heart to get your creative juices flowing. First, we have this layout featuring a witchy cat and a set of fun banners across the top.

This card takes a totally different direction with an all-occasion message. I love that this set has plenty of options that are not Halloween related.

I hope these projects have inspired you. If you want to get the stamp set, remember it is only available in August 2016! You can get it at a discounted price of just $5 when you add it to a $50 order.Start shopping now>>

Happy Creating!
