Cute Cat card

I purchased my first "Market Street Stamps" set. I love the little cats in this set, and also like how the scarf is a separate stamp piece! I also played around with my new embossing ink pad/powder for the sentiment. It got a little messy with the powder....whoops! :)




Materials Used:

Market Street Stamps Set: Cool Cats
Hero Arts Stamp Set: Happy Hello
Stickles: Christmas red (I used it for the cat's cheeks!)
Various Copic sketch markers
Foam Adhesive (for placing the white circle on the scalloped circle)
Embossing Ink pad and white embossing powder (for the sentiment) 





 

New Stamps!

I discovered a cute little stamp shop here in San Antonio. I came home with Hero Arts "Big Eyes" and Inky Antics "Monster Maker".  I'm looking forward to making cute little cards with these!

A surprise DIY gift tag

While I was away in Austin, my husband went through my craft supplies to wrap and create a gift tag for my Christmas present! Isn't that the cutest thing? Yes, I'm well aware that it's not perfect. However, this is coming from a man that has never been involved in any type of paper crafting project. Awwww. Pretty good "man" wrapping skills if you ask me.

Quick and easy Heart card

My husband let me grab something out of the Christmas stocking a bit early... it was a cute little Fiskars heart punch! I made this simple card below to show him how much I loved it! It's a bit hard to tell, but all of the little hearts are on foam adhesive to add some dimension. I like the simplicity of it.



Materials used:
Fiskars "That's Amore" Squeeze punch
Foam Adhesive for dimension
