I have another card made using the Cat Punch from the upcoming Holiday Catalog. As us Cat Fans know, cats are not just for Halloween. Today is a second Cat Birthday card, but in non-Halloween colors.
Cat Punch, 144666
Do you see the shadow behind the cat? I just had a wild idea and decided to try that. I punched the DSP cat and then a solid Berry Burst cat to place behind. I think it gives an unusual touch.
The DSP is the Fresh Florals, which is the newest In Colors. The pattern on the cat is actually the same design as the back side of the Tranquil Tide pieces. The White Doily is something I really love, but then rarely use. I think it worked here though.
The banner is punched from the Banner Triple Punch and the sentiment is from Ready to Pop. I love the cute and smaller sentiments in that set. You should give them a glance. And the final touch is the Berry Burst Seam Binding Ribbon. It is a beautiful pop of color and so easy to work with. The bows come out perfectly the first time. I wish we had that ribbon in every color!!
I do not make a lot of cards using the Regals color family, but this falls in to that category (even though they are the newest In Colors) But I love how they worked together. If you decide to give them a try, please let me know how it turns out.

My card today is another Sneak Peek of the upcoming Holiday Catalog I am an animal lover and there are a couple of sets the are must haves in that regard. Today I used PawLaLaLa. The title should give you a hint. 🙂
Santa Paws, 144889
This 4 X 4 card is sweet, cute, and easy to do. A winning combination. I used traditional Christmas colors for the card and then just colored the “singers” with Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen. It can’t get any simpler than this. And with the 4 X 4, the measurements are so easy as well. I am really becoming addicted to these square cards!
And that is it for today! A quick card and a short post. I do apologize ahead of time that I had technical difficulties (Really operator malfunction!) and I could not get the picture of the Santa Paws stamp set. I will try to get it and add it later if I can.

Today’s card is for the Global Design Project’s 100th Challenge. I accepted Brian King’s challenge to CASE his card. You can go HERE to see all of the designer’s cards and play along as well. My card is made using the Daisy Delight Stamp set.
Daisy Delight, 143669
Most of the cards made with the Daisy Delight set have been with yellow daisies. So I wanted to be a little different! I used Peekaboo Peach and paired it with Wild Wasabi. However, to make a softer color I stamped off with the Peekaboo Peach for the flowers. The flower centers are Enamel Shapes in Regals (Cajun Craze).
The embossed background is the Petal Burst Embossing Folder. And the focal point is cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and then the Layering Circle Framelits. The sentiment is flagged by using the Banner Triple Punch and just barely inserting the strip of card stock.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed the card and will go over to the Global Design Project to view others that have been CASED. Have a great day !

I have another Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek. It is for the Cat Punch. I am a huge cat fan. We have had one or more my entire married life. So when I saw this punch I knew it would be on my first order. Yay for being a demonstrator and getting a chance to order first! (Hint, Hint!!)
Cat Punch, 144611
Isn’t that just the cutest little guy? My husband’s birthday is coming and this would be a perfect Birthday card for him. Yes, this Spooky Night Designer Series Paper is for Halloween. But this striped version doesn’t scream Halloween. I think it is a good Fall paper. And we have always had at least one Black Cat so this little guy is appropriate.
The hat I added is from the Better Together set. I showcased it last week. You can see it HERE
Do you recognize the punch for the Happy Birthday? I do not think you will be able to guess. It is the Bow Builder Punch. I was looking through my punches for one that would fit the sentiment and saw the bow. That is thinking WAY outside the box ! And that perfect birthday sentiment is from the Ready To Pop set. There are great little sentiments in that set.
The Vintage Crochet Trim in Black is something you must see in person. It is so soft and easy to work with. In fact, the entire Suite of Spooky Night products are all a must have. And that is even if you do not celebrate Halloween or make Halloween cards. The items are wonderful!
And last but not least, I gave him a little bling with a rhinestone on his collar. Even guys need bling. And anytime I use DSP that is where my color combination comes from. Why recreate the wheel when Stampin’ Up! has done it for you?
Thank you for visiting today! I hope this project adds to your interest for the Holiday Catalog. The supplies I used are listed below. You can click on any item and be taken directly to my Online Store. I hope you have a great day!!

I am so happy to share with you one of the upcoming stamp sets. The Painted Harvest set will be in the Holiday Catalog which debuts September 1. When I first saw the set I was not really excited. But when I got it in my hands and could play with it….WOW!! I love it. Here is my first card with this cute set.
Painted Harvest Bundle, 146021
This sunflower stamp is so fun to work with. To get the different shading and layers, I stamped it with Crushed Curry, and each stamping I turned the clear block a quarter turn. Basically I turned it so that each time I stamped a different side of the block was at the bottom. The center is cajun craze and the splatter is Sahara Sand with the splatter stamp from Touches of Texture. The extra splatter that you notice towards the bottom is Cajun Craze and I splattered using the marker with it’s cap.
The leaves are done with old olive and then Always Artichoke over the top. The leaves are punched with the Leaf Punch which is part of the Painted Harvest Bundle. The leaves and one sunflower are popped up with dimensionals.
The base of Cajun Craze is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 folded in half
The Always Artichoke is 5 1/4 X 4
The Cajun Craze is 4 3/4 X 3 1/2
The Very Vanilla is 4 1/2 X 3 1/4

I have another card with an older stamp set. The Sprinkles of Life set has been around for a year or so and I realized I had not used it very much lately. All those new sets are so exciting that we forget to look at the other ones. Be warned, this card is a bright one!
Sprinkles of Life, 139971
I thought a bright 4 X 4 card fit the image of the Sprinkles of Life sentiment. It is designed to make you smile. And it made me smile because it was really quick and easy to put together!
The cupcake is stamped and the bottom is hand cut while the frosting top is punched with the Tree Builder Punch. Who knew that you could get a cupcake out of a tree???? (LOL) I layered both with dimensionals and then the banner tips are cut using the Banner Triple Punch. I just placed the ends into the tip of the punch.
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Remember there is a limited time for the 1/2 Price Paper Pumpkin Kit!!!
I cannot seem to stop playing with the Coffee Cafe Suite. And as I have said previously, I do not drink coffee! This suite of products is just so irresistible .
Coffee Cafe, 144156
This card is a side fold with a pocket for a gift card. The base is 4 1/4 X 11 and scored and folded at 5 1/2. I then folded the top flap in half. (You can see from the photo at the bottom where the top of the blue is thicker) I cut off the folded end at 1 1/2 which leaves approximately half of the folded under section to slide a gift card into. I secured the flap with Tear and Tape on each side of the flap and close to the edges. This leaves ample room for the gift card without it being too tight a fit.
Once the gift card section is complete, the top layer is simple. Just be careful when you tape the top flap down to only tape the left section!! I have made that mistake myself on several occasions. 🙂
I kept the stamping pretty simple and just added the Soft Sky heart for an accent. The glitter enamel dot is to tie in the Pear Pizzaz. The coffee beans are stamped full strength once on each side and then again without re-inking on each side.
My color combination is from the beautiful Coffee Break Designer Series Paper. I know i am repeating myself, but Stampin’ Up! has the BEST designer series paper!!
Thank you so much for stopping in today! I hope you enjoyed this card. I may not have explained myself very well on the making of the gift card flap. If you have any questions, please contact me.
PAPER PUMPKIN SPECIAL:
There is an awesome new Paper Pumpkin Special for the next few weeks. If you have not been a previous Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can now try it for 1/2 price. Just sign up between August 11 – September 10.
Welcome to the August 2017 Pals Blog Hop. Thank you so much for joining us today. This month we’re going to “Cut It Out”. Participants will feature projects with “cuts” from punches, dies, Framelits, Edgelits, or Thinlits.
Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.
My card for this awesome blog hop is a mixture of stamp sets and punches. I am using the sentiment for the title. It is “Thanks A Bunch”.
Daisy Delight Bundle 145361
I got my DSP inspiration from the cover of the HGTV Magazine that just arrived. It had flowers made from paint chips. So I immediately thought of the beautiful Color Theory DSP.
I punched the daisies from the same sheet of DSP. One is the “paint chip” side and the other is the opposite side, which is the paint crackle. Isn’t this paper just wonderful? The pansy is two punches from the same DSP.
The background, which does not show up very well in the photograph, is from the stamp set “You’ve Got This”. It is a crosshatch design stamped in Soft Sky ink. The stems for the flowers are from the Daisy Delight set. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Bouquet set and is punched out with the 1 1/4 circle punch.
I enjoyed making this card for today’s hop. A little whimsy is a wonderful thing !!!! The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the post. By clicking on a picture you will be taken to my Online store. Thank you!
Please take a minute to mark your calendar for our next hop on September 13, 2017 for “My Favorite Season”. Now hop along using the Blog Hop Line-up below. Thank you so much for hopping with the Stampin’ Pretty Pals today. Don’t forget to leave us a comment. We’d love to hear what you have to say about our creative “Cuts”.
My Happy Birthday card for today is a little different. It is not the super bright and cheery card you may be used to. The colors are a little deeper and would make a great masculine birthday card.
Happy Birthday Thinlit, 143700
The biggest difference is that I split the Happy and Birthday from the Happy Birthday Thinlits. What do you think? I do believe it is just fine to do that. It gives a totally different look.
My color inspiration came from the designer series paper. It is from the Delightful Daisy DSP pack. The variation of the green is beautiful. I looked at the different shades and came up with Old Olive, Pear Pizzaz, and Lemon Lime Twist. I used those markers to color the party hat.
The hats are stamped and then colored with the markers I listed above. The center one is stamped , but also has a hat raised with dimensionals on top of it. Stamping underneath gives a much better look than just raising the image with a white space beneath. I used the Clear Wink of Stella on the pompoms of the hats. It really does not photograph though.
I used the Big Shot to cut the Happy Birthday after I had attached the Multipurpose Adhesive sheet to the card stock. (This is a must have for intricate cutouts) I used my paper snips to cut the two words apart and attached them to the layers. I placed them as high, and then low, as I could to make room for the middle panel.
Thank you very much for visiting with me today. I hope your day is awesome!!
I had the Lemon Zest Bundle on my first order from the new Annual Catalog. I fell in love with the sentiments immediately. Then I didn’t get around to using it until recently. Previously I did a quick card using our Note cards and Envelopes. However, this card is pretty quick to make as well.
Lemon Zest Bundle, 145360
For today’s card, I stamped the lemon slice on Whisper White with So Saffron. I debated on just stamping off, but thought the lighter tone would do better. I then stamped the two sentiments on each end of the Whisper White strip, and then layered the three strips together.
I used the Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers to splatter old olive onto the sliced lemon sheet and daffodil delight onto the sentiment strip. Other than stamping and punching out the lemon and leaves….that is it! See I said it was quick and easy!!
