My Paper Crush

Never like to make a sympathy, let alone a pet sympathy card :(  Made this card using some current (Nine Lives) and retired Stampin' Up! product. Card base was from a retired watercolor kit. 2.5" circle punched from Blushing Bride CS. Cat stamped in Basic Gray on Whisper White CS and used cat punch. Colored enamel heart (retired) with Melon Mambo Blendable alcohol marker. Enamel bow, also retired. Gray/white twine (retired) and paper doily (also retired).

My oldest great-niece loves to dance. Made this ballerina card using Stampin' Up! Work of Art (retired set), with some pinky-inks (Flirty Flamingo, Watermelon Wonder, Blushing Bride and Crushed Curry) and added sparkle to the dress with Wink of Stella. TFL!

Finished making and sending cards last week. Been cleaning up the stamp area this week. Onto Valentine's Day & misc. birthday cards. Sputnik-approved samples (see his paws at upper/right).

Sometimes I draw inspiration from random order of how my ink pads are stacked. Here's such example:

Needed a kick of inspiration, so I joined a card swap with the SU group to which I belong. Theme is using products from Stampin' Up! new holiday catalog. I'm a sucker for kitschy images, so when I first laid eyes on "Signs of Santa" stamp set and coordinating framelit/dies and Designer Series Paper, I knew I had to place an order ASAP! My card's inspiration came from " Double Triangle Fold " tutorial on SplitCoastStampers.com Supplies : Paper - Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Whisper White, Santa's Workshop Specialty DSP Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black Stamps - Signs of Santa Photopolymer Framelits/Dies - Santa's Signposts, Stitched Shapes, Layering Ovals Accessories - Blends (alcohol markers - Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Ivory, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral); Santa's Workshop Enamel Shapes, Poppy Parade 1/2" textured weave ribbon; adhesive Happy Stamping!
