Saturday Challenge - Thinking of You

I choose to create two cards for our THINKING OF YOU theme this week.

I used our two fun new sets from artist, Becky Pearce called A PURR-FECT DAY! and TOTALLY PAW-SOME to create these cute little cards. 


On the kitty card I used Echo Park Meow paper. I went of course with a CAS layout as I wanted the kitty to stand out. Who wouldn't love a kitty card Just Fur You!!!

My card today is a very CAS card. I wanted to really showcase the versatility of the cute puppies. I really do enjoy using a sentiment a main image and a little accent. I used American Craft paper for the accent. I then stamped the image and the ball onto copic paper. I used a fine black marker to make the frame around the white paper.

Welcome Krafty Friends to Day ONE of our January Krafty Previews!!!

We are so excited to kick off 2016 with a 's-pet-tacular' new release of clear stamps that we know will give you the warm fuzzies!

Today we are previewing TWO gorgeous new sets by artist, Annie Rodrigue! I know you'll agree that Annie's creations have so much life and are so much fun to colour!


The first set is called MINNIE, MAISIE & ME! and features the joyful main image PLUS EIGHT coordinating sentiments!


The second set is called PURR-FECT PRINCESS and features the absolutely elegant main image PLUS SIX wonderful coordinating sentiments!


What great stamp sets to start the previews with!!! I have been busting at the seems with this release...just waiting to show you the great sets we are going to be releasing!!!!

I chose to use Purr-fect Princess. I used Pebbles paper called Garden Party, using one of the smaller patterned papers I paper pieced the chair. I also used several other papers and combined those with Doodlebug Doilies, flowers, ribbon and a wooden heart.

To decorate the wooden heart I stamped in the sentiment in Staz-on then used my ink to distress around the heart.
