Purrfect Cards

I didn't get to join in on the last Twofer's Challenge due to illness in our family.  I was determined to play this month though.  :)  The theme for April is pets.  I chose a NUBS stamp set by My Favorite Things.  I used one of the cat images on both cards and two different themes of thank you and congrats.  Above you can see both cards side by side (per the rules at the Twofer Challenge of photographing the cards together).

Birthday Squares Card

Hope your Monday has been a good one.  I found a few minutes to craft and made this fun birthday card.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the "happy birthday" die cut squares from red cardstock.  I stamped the word celebrate twice and used my old trusty butterfly punches (thank you Martha Stewart).  ;)  I'm linking this card up at the following challenges:

Cat Lady Gatefold Card

This is the first gatefold card I have ever made.  There is a challenge at the Art Impressions blog to make one so I thought I would give it a try.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the card and the got the design here.  I used one of my favorite techniques in using watercolor crayons to create the background on the circle.  My funny cat lady will be joining these card challenges: Art Impressions (Create A Gatefold Card) Stamping Sensations (One For The Girls) Double D Challenges (Twine Or Hemp Cord) Watercooler Wednesday Challenge (Feminine Anything Goes) Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges (Color It) Addicted To Stamps and More (Anything Goes) AAA Cards CAS Challenges (Favorite Technique) CARD RECIPE: Stamps -- Hampton Art (Art Impressions SC0652) Ink Pad -- Clearsnap (Wicked Black) Markers -- Staedtler Watercolor Crayons -- Staedtler Cardstock -- Recollections Card Die Cut -- Silhouette Design Store (Decorative Circle Gatefold Card) Self-Adhesive Jewels -- KI Memories Hemp Cord -- Hemptique White Chalk Marker (Marvy/Uchida....Used to Make Dots on Dress Image)
