Purr-Fectly Spooky Cat!


Only 3 days remain for this super cute, super fun Stamp of the Month set "Purr-fect Halloween!  Love it!  Find it here!


I whipped up this quick card with some of the beautiful new Adventure Fundamentals Papers and some Watercolor Paints. 
I simply painted and splattered a scrap of white watercolor paper with a couple of grays.  Let it dry completely, then stamped the cat with Memento Black Stamp Pad.  Some copper colored sequins from the Florence accents and some colored Bitty Sparkles top off this Happy Halloween card!

Peek!

I have two adorable granddaughters and we play a lot of 
peek-a-boo!  When I created this hello card, I kept thinking of my little sweeties! 

This cute cat is from the Purr-fect Halloween Stamp of the Month for August.  So fun and so versatile!

 

The background is a wash of watercolor and the banner is a combination of watercolor paints and watercolor pencils.  How about that Thin Cut "Hello"?  I am really loving these cool new tools!  Have you tried them?  They're like a cookie cutter for paper!  Just put them through your Cuttlebug and viola!...you have a fun shape magically cut!






Addition supplies used:
Sentiment: Sending Smiles (from the Flower Market Cricut Bundle)

From the Notebook: Celebrate!

It's Monday and here's a bright and cheerful message to remind us to celebrate today!  Hope you have the best week ever!  


I created this fun card with the July Stamp of the Month "From the Notebook".  
There are a lot of hidden treasures in the set if you just look for them.  It's fun to put together sentences with the words and icons.  Let your imagination lead you to some creativity!


I used the Magical patterned papers because they make me happy!   You just can't help but smile with you look at the fun colors and patterns!  

I love all the little M size stamps!  This one is retiring July 31st.  
Get it while you can!


The sequins didn't photograph well on my card, but trust me, they are shiny and bright.  Even though there are sequins to match the Magical papers, I used the red and gold from the Florence Sequin pack. 

Additional CTMH Supplies used:
Stamp Pads:  Cranberry, Saffron, Black
Clear Sparkles
(Scallop Border Punch - Retired)
