The theme this go-around is L is for Little People / A card for kids . You have two whole weeks to play along, and you can enter up to three times any handcrafted items featuring the current theme. 

Well.  After stamping, coloring and fussy cutting the boys out, I was putting the background together and I realized I could’ve gotten away with just stamping on the card front 😂

DETAILS

The little guy in the water has silver pen colored glasses, though in hindsight (does anyone else ever employ that EVERY time you finish a card?!!) his glasses are probably goggles.

ALPHABET CHALLENGE - K is for KITTENS

 

Hi friends, and welcome back to my new ALPHABET CHALLENGE DT card!

The theme this go-around is K is for Kittens / Cats. 

You have two whole weeks to play along, and you can enter up to three times any handcrafted items featuring the current theme!

DETAILS

Cats were colored in with alcohol ink markers. 

Sentiment was heat embossed in white detail powder.

Card base was dry embossed with SU’s Subtle folder. 

*TIP*

If tying a bow isn’t your thing but you’d like to add ribbon to your project, try adhering a straight length to your panel, attaching only on the reverse. Then simply tie another piece on as shown, either in matching or corresponding ribbon. Adding a blob of glue on the back side of the knot will keep things from shifting, and tacking the ends down with strong double-stick Glue Dots is helpful when sending out via post. 

SUPPLIES

cat stamps - Rare Image Rubber Stamps, Pets sheet

word stamps and oval die - Taylored Expressions

embossing folder - Stampin’ Up! Subtle

alcohol markers

red card stock
