Mad Monday

Before I went to bed last night I saw a the Paper Players challenge to use a feline on a card, and I awoke this morning to thoughts of it raining cats and dogs! It is definitely not raining here, so that's why it seemed such a mad thought.

Unfortunately I made my card before re-reading the criteria, and I used layers when they weren't requested, so I quickly simplified my card to create the card on the left. There is a mix of Under My Umbrella and Hey Girlfriend in both cards. It's lots of fun to mix old and new stamp sets don't you think?

I used post-it notes to mask off a portion on the left of the card front, to contain the stamping and colouring. I'd considered using ink and blending brushes, but didn't want the kitties to be Pool Party, so the Stampin' Blends were used to colour the background, and umbrella.

Exactly the same method was used here, only the umbrellas were the only masked item while I stamped the shower of pets. If you want to see Friendly Feline cards, check out The Paper Players Challenge on Facebook.

I think this is my favourite still, with the offset art panel, and the mix of critters. Do you have a preference?

CASE Halloween CTC #289



At CASE-ing The Catty, we are CASE-ing Halloween. Halloween is in the Northern autumn, which means for the southern hemisphere it is spring. Please bear with me as I justify my project! LOL!

I ordered the Have A Hoot bundle, because I love cute owls, and there are some Christmas ones in there as well as Halloween. The thing that sealed the deal however was the set of dies which are part of the bundle. Three 'windows'  which also diecut tags are so versatile, and so I CASE-d the card on the left, page 62 of the mini catalogue.


Lately I've been playing with Under My Umbrella and the matching umbrella Punch, and it seemed to fit quite nicely, into those frames. After demonstrating how to set up the stamps to stamp and punch out in 2 easy steps I decided to video this process for my Facebook page, allowing me to put together this pair of cards.



We have been needing umbrellas again this week in Melbourne - typical spring weather, so it's nice if you can have a really bright one!


Don't you love the way the Artistry Blooms DSP make fabulous, flamboyant umbrellas when stamped direct onto the pattern paper?



The rain drops have been stamped in Versamark, and then clear embossing powder has been heated to make them 'wet' and glistening, just like the real thing.


This background paper is actually the other side of the piece the umbrellas use. Both sides so beautiful, its lucky you get 2 12" X 12" papers in each pack. Patterned paper, called DSP by Stampin' Up! is on special through October at 15% off, it's a great time to freshen up your selection. I think they'll still be listed at $20 in the directory at the end of my post, but will convert to $17 when you pop them in your shopping basket.
