October 22, 2023, Scary Cats 2 CLR017A Stamps

Hey everybody! It's a beautiful Sunday and I hope you're having a great weekend! Leslie here, sharing a center easel card! I totally love fun folds and this one is so easy and works up fast. I used the Scary Cats 2 stamp set which I paired with pink patterned papers in my stash.

I cut the A2 size card base from white cardstock and covered the panels with pink plaid, polka dot and floral patterned papers. I stamped the day of the dead cat from the Scary Cats 2 stamp set in black ink on white cardstock, colored the flowers on her head and face with alcohol markers, and fussy cut her.

I adhered the cat to the center panel, stamped the sentiment in black ink, and added a few gemstones. The final step was adding a 'stop' for the center easel to rest on. I created this by stamping the circular cluster of flowers (in the same stamp set), coloring them with alcohol markers, and punching the cluster with a 1" circle punch. I then layered it on several more punched circles to give it some dimension.

September 4, 2023, Scary Cats 2 CLR017A Stamps

Hey everybody! It'll soon be Halloween and I'm still playing with scary cats and bats! Leslie here, sharing a fun Halloween card featuring a Cheshire-type cat in the Scary Cats 2 stamp set! This was such a fun and easy card to put together, and would be a great design to mass-produce if you send out a lot of Halloween Cards, and especially if you're an Alice in Wonderland fan! ;)

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from white cardstock and a layering panel from red striped pattern paper. The striped pattern to match the cat was just the ticket! I rounded the bottom right corner on both the card base and the layering panel, and then stamped the cat from the Scary Cats 2 stamp set on white cardstock. I cut him at an angle with an oval die and then cut a slightly larger oval to offset behind the cat. I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) and added several black enamel dots to complete the card.
