I'm Grumpy When You're Not Here | My Favorite Things

Don't our kitties all have these days, when there owners have to go to work but we'd rather just stay home and cuddle them. A clean and simple card, with this multi colored kitty sitting in the window. I colored the kitty image with Copics and die cut the window out of patterned designer paper. I also die cut the window several times out of heavier white card stock and layered it for dimension. Before adhering it all onto the card base I stenciled a cloud scene where the kitty would be gazing out the window.

Once everything was set and dry, I pop dotted the kitty so he was raised on the ledge with his toy fish and gave him a birdy friend saying waving hello. I added a sentiment stamped on black card stock and embossed with white embossing powder, it stands out nice and bold. The entire panel is adheard onto a #110lbs white card base.

Who Rescued Whom? | Sunny Studio Stamps

A love this card, it is very much for a kitty adoption. An older kitty welcoming another cat into the household. For many of us paper crafters I think many of use took a challenge this year to try and used a lot of the patterned paper in our stash (and I have a bunch of it).

I liked how the different shades of green gave the grasses different depth and I cut the solid card stock with a grassy edge border. For the sky I stenciled the cloud background then also die cut the bottom edge border.

The kitties were colored with Copics and giving white high lights, the kitten in the onesie was pop-dotted and also the balloon she is holding for some dimension and Noir glitter sparkle was added before sparkle glossy accents for some added shine. The panel is then adhered onto a #100lbs card base.

Happy Easter | Newton's Nook Designs | Alcohol Ink Background

This weekend was the first time I had ever played with alcohol inks and I thought it would be a fun thing for both my partner and myself to together as a couple. I had everything bought and pre-cut, setup the kitchen table and showed him how to do the first one and away we played.

He thought it was cool, and we both made 5 panels, and they turned out great. I left them dry and I used one on todays card to finish off a Newton Easter shaker card.

Hoppy Easter! | Lawn Fawn | Sunny Studio Stamps

I'm here today with another cute Easter card, of bunnies watering the garden and the house cat just sauntering through, it's so sweet.

I ink blended the front panel with distress oxide ink broken china and faded it towards the top. Spritzed it with water to give it a distressed look and set it aside to dry. I then created the garden scene on the bottom with kraft card stock and partially die cut the circles for the carrots and flowers to grow out of from the top. I then inserted a die cut piece of green grass to break up the sky from the ground in the background.

The bunnies are pop dotted for added dimension and the sentiment is stamped in crisp black ink. The panel is adhered to a #110lbs white card base.

Chirpy Chirp Chirp! | Lawn Fawn | Sunny Studio Stamps

I hope everyone has had a great week, I took a break the last couple days to restock my design area and by that I mean reorganize it and create a bigger mess. Now I know what supplies I need more of and what I have to start using in my stash.


It’s Friday and time to showcase this cute kitten in her onesie hanging out with some baby chicks.

We had a beautiful sunset this week and that is what inspired the background of this card.

Back to School Nerdy Kitty

Only a couple more weeks and the kids go back to school, yahoo! And since it's almost the end of August that means summer is almost over and time to think about fall. I know many of you don't want to but Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas are already in the stores.

I haven't taken part in a challenge in a very long time and saw this one at SVG Cutting Files I thought I would attempt it. Now the rules are-- anything with fall colors and it had to include one of there cut files as the main focus. I loved this nerdy cat slider and he instantly made me see my kitty, he is so mischievous some days and a big trouble maker.

  

The gable box is only 2"x 2"x 3.5"- big enough to put a few, "Get me through the first day back treats" for the teacher!

I had fun playing along!! Have a great week and thanks for stopping by,

Krysta

Have a holly jolly Christmas

My craft room has been packed up since May & that means I have gone 8 months without crafting. So until the craft room is painted, I have been working on some of my digital scrap booking to pass the time and somewhat refresh my skills on using Adobe.

Here is a Christmas page of the newest addition to the condo, Diamond.

Right, Meow!

The new clear acrylic stamps arrived at work & right away when I put this stamp set out I knew it was going to be coming home with me after work. I came home and inked this baby up right away. I used the Mojo95 sketch for this week for my design. The colors were easy, as long as they are bright I'm bound to use them. I dove into my collection of papers and used some paper that I have been hording.
