Pretty Kitty - Soft Kitty - Little Ball of...where's my wool?

Pretty Kitty was among the first stamps sets I got from the 2017 Annual Catalogue. We don't have cats as my two Maltese x ShihTzu are not big fans, but I grew up with cats and until we got our pooches, I had always owned a cat or lived with one lol who really owns a cat?!? 

Newspaper, balls of strings or boxes were always our cats favourite play things, which was great because they were cheap! With that in mind, I had to make the following card using one of the Kitty stamps.


 

Naughty lil Kitty! I heat embossed the hello greeting from the Pop of Paradise stamp set, a teeny tiny ball of bakers twine for the wool ball and my ever favourite the woodgrain background stamp was inked in basic grey and stamped on Bermuda Bay Cardstock. 

 

The card above uses the Hello sentiment again but this time heat embossed in white and die cut using layering circles. Two strips of DSP from the A Little Foxy Paper Stack were cut using the triple banner punch and adhered to a piece of Smoky Slate card stock that was embossed using the Large Polka Dot TIEF.

 

I love pastels, and also love how this card turned out. It's a simple technique - stamp image and then place a set of layering/nesting dies over the top and run it through your Big Shot. 


 
 
Again, another simple card using some DSP. Pretty Kitty was stamped in Archival Black and coloured in using an aqua painter and ink pads. The border stamp from the Tin of Tags stamp set was stamped in Calyspo Coral to match the card stock and DSP.

 

DSP from the Playful Palette Paper Stack was used with Sweet Sugar Plum Cardstock. The sentiment was die cut using Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits, and heat embossed in silver to match the little bling.


Happy Crafting x
