I love cats which is so surprising because years ago I really didn’t like them. I grew up in a house full of dogs and whenever I went to a house where they had cats, it was immediately obvious that I was allergic to them. Years later my parents had two cats and I was shocked to realize that my eyes weren’t itching and closed shut.
When my daughters were younger they wanted a pet (what kid doesn’t). We decided that having a dog wouldn’t work because we were gone most of the day so we went to the pound and got two adorable (a brother and sister) kitties to bring home. They instantly stole our hearts, even my husbands, who definitely was NOT a cat person. We lost Misty when she was 14 and Joey lived to be 19. I still miss them.
Twenty years ago my parents started feeding feral cats on their property. My mom caught many of the girls and took them to the vet to be spayed. We are still feeding three of them and all of their friends in the neighborhood. The word got out that there’s free food. The three regulars are so cute and they keep their eyes on me from outside when I’m crafting at my mom’s.
Now you know why there’s no way I could pass up a kitty stamp set as cute as Pretty Kitty in the Occasions catalog.
I stamped the kitty on watercolor paper with Staz-On and used Watercolor pencils and an Aqua Painter to color her in. Here are two more cards that I made with the set!

I have another butterfly card to share with you. I sent this card to a friend who recently lost her dad. Having lost my own father in 2009, I know how heartbreaking it is to lose a parent. There are no words to comfort but I hope my card helped her to know that my thoughts are with her.

Last week I posted THIS card and I mentioned that I had made a few more using the same basic layout. The same pack of paper, Cupcakes & Carousels, was used to create all of them. Here they are!
This last one is the same as the first one except that I added rhinestones to the butterfly. It seemed a bit naked to me!
On the fourth card, I did some embossing on black paper for the sentiment but with all the others I used a combination of the Stitched Shapes Framelits and the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies. I used Glue Dots that I rolled up into balls and placed them down the center of each butterfly to adhere it to my card front.
If you’d like the measurements that I used, you can refer to the card from last week. Click HERE and scroll down to the bottom of the post. You’ll also see how I cut the DSP so that I had enough for my card front, butterfly and a strip for the inside the card.

For those of you who receive updates via email, you saw a post come through a few minutes ago but I hadn’t finished it! I accidentally hit PUBLISH instead of SAVE. I was writing it early so that it would post on Monday but it looks like it is going out today!! Here’s the finished version! I’m sorry for any confusion I might I have caused.
Today I’m sharing a Gate Fold birthday card that fits nicely inside one of our Whisper White envelopes.
To make this fold, start out with a piece of cardstock that measures 8-1/2” x 4-1/4”. Score at 2-1/8” on the long side and again at 2-1/8” on the opposite side and fold on the score lines.
I cut the white scalloped piece and the two squares on top of it using the Layering Squares Framelits
Attach Stampin’ Dimensionals to the LEFT side of the scalloped piece and attach it to the left panel on the front of the card being careful that your dimensionals are hidden.
Measurements
Card base: 8-1/2” x 4-1/4”. Score at 2-1/8” on the long side and again at 2-1/8” on the opposite side.
Designer Series Paper: Two pieces cut @ 1-7/8” x 4”.
Whisper White cardstock:
3-1/4” x 3-1/4” scalloped piece: run it through the Big Shot using the Layering Squares Framelits
2-3/8” x 2-3/8” for the sentiment; if you have the Layering Squares Framelits to cut this piece, start with a piece that measures 2 ½” x 2 ½”).
4″ x 4″ for inside the card
Coordinating cardstock: 2-5/8” x 2-5/8” ; if you have the Layering Squares Framelits to cut this piece, start with a piece that measures 2 ¾” x 2 ¾”)

I love buying pretty paper but sometimes it sits around and I don’t use it! Has that ever happened to you? The other day I pulled out my Cupcakes & Carousels DSP Stack and came up with this card! In fact I created several more cards with this paper but I’ll share those next week.
This particular paper comes with 40 sheets that are each 6″ x 6″. The picture below is another design in the stack but I wanted to show you that you can use the entire sheet for the base of your card, the butterfly AND to decorate the inside!
Go grab some of your paper and give this a try! If you do, email me as I’d love to see what you’ve created! All of the supplies I used to create my card can be found below in the Product List. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Base of Card: Basic Black 11″ x 4-1/4″
Very Vanilla: 4″ x 5-1/4″ (2 pieces: one for the front of the card and one for the inside); sentiment 3/4″ x 2-3/4″

Today I’m sharing a card I sent off to a friend last week!
I think blue and green combined is so pretty and was really pleased how nicely Pacific Point and Emerald Envy blended together. Here’s how to create the watercolor look:
The next step is to add your sentiment. Be sure to use an anti-static tool such as the Stampin’ Up! Embossing Buddy and rub it across the entire surface of your paper. This helps prevent embossing powder from sticking to your paper where you don’t want it.
Use Versamark to stamp your image, pour embossing powder over it and watch the magic happen as you heat it up with the heat tool.
I hope you’ll give this a try and if you do, I’d love to see what you create!
