Cats & Dogs WWYS#224

Playing with a new stamp set, Butterfly Wishes, and keeping to a fairly neutral palette, I made the decision to add cats and dogs to the composition. Gray Granite, Rococo Rose and Night of Navy are used for the first couple of cards, and just Gray & Navy for the last.

Perfect Parcel Dies were being run through the Big Shot, just to see how the pieces looked, and I decided to use the lacy floral  behind the label, which is also in that set of dies.

As soon as Nine Lives came out, it went in my shopping bag, and of course since then Happy Tails and a matching punch has been introduced. It has been a very long time since we had a dog, and our cat died last October, but when we first brought our puppy home, we also brought a kitten. Despite the dog being very large (eventually) she was always very gentle with the kitten, which usually wasn't quite as pleasant in return!

What Will You Stamp is using Nine Lives in their challenge, if you'd like to see more using this stamp set, or enter the challenge yourself, head on over.

I'd love you to choose my online shop to purchase from, and when you use the Host Code when asked at check out, I will send you a gift, along with a handmade card. The items listed below were used in my card above, and link to that item in my online shop.

It's Panda- monium! #WWYS154

My heart skipped a beat when I spied the Party Panda stamp at Onstage, and I was even more excited when I could 'earn' it with my pre-order and start stamping in Mid-November. Funny thing is, I'm still not sick of it and put this card together tonight to join in with What Will You Stamp?

My main inspiration for this particular card was the sentiment I had spotted in Perennial Birthday, and what better than a crowd of Party-ing Pandas for "Cheers all round!" I think that might be a spot of pandemonium!!! 

I was also very keen to try out this springy thing (not Stampin' Up!) that a friend had given me to try out. The third panda from the left is the guy with movement.

There is just so much to love about Party Pandas, do you agree?

Sublime Little Caravan WWYS#72

You're Sublime is such a fun and useful stamp set. I've found it perfect for many a reason and stamping this cute birthday card is only one example of the fun to be had with these smaller images.
I know an older hippy chick who has been fitting out a little campervan with crochet rugs and other homely things, for when she and hubby hit the road to join the other 'grey nomads' roaming Australia.

Two pieces of the bright and beautiful DSP are lined up side by side (because one would never be enough!!!) and there are a few stars scattered about to draw the eye.
I was inspired to share after seeing this challenge at What Will You Stamp? so if you love this stamp set too, perhaps you'll want to join in too.

Cheers, Rachel
