2021 Cat Lover's Blog Hop Day 5

 Hi and welcome to my blog. I have been enjoying the Cat Lover's blog hop over at Her Peaceful Garden. I made another card today using a cat image from Lost Coast Designs. 

I cut a circle from a gelli plate background I made to look like a sunrise. I used the sunrays embossing folder from Sizzix for the background of the card. Yesterday we had the most beautiful sunrise here before it started to cloud up! I am not usually up to see the sunrise, but I had a very early doctor's appointment to get to.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

2021 Cat Lover's Challenge

Hi and welcome to my blog. We have a chilly and rainy day here today. I have made another card for the 2021 Cat Lover's blog hop over at Her Peaceful Garden.

I have three cat fur babies, so I used 3 of the Snarky Cats by Tim Holtz on my card. I have so many backgrounds in my stash just waiting to be used, so I pulled out this one and stamped the cats onto it. I added Glossy Accents on the balloon. The saying is unknown.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I am really enjoying this blog hop.

Thinking of Mew

 Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope you are enjoying your week. I have 3 cats and they are all female and all so different. Their names are Peaches, Pepper and Tiger. Tiger got her name because she is a real hisser!

Her Peceful Garden is having a Cat Lover's blog hop this week with a lot of fun prizes and games. You can also post a cat project. 

I pulled out one of my many backgrounds in my stash to use on my card. I stamped this cute cat stamp from Creative Vision Stamps, embossed it with black embossing powder and colored it using Salty Ocean Distress ink. It was cut out using a dotted oval die by Sizzix. The tag die is from Cuttlebug.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Bio 

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

 

Many thanks to our Generous Sponsors for their continued support.

I chose the Anything Goes theme for my card today. I used a new stamp in the Holiday Happy mini stamp set. I decided to make a birthday card which I am always in need of. This background was in my stash. After I embossed with an embossing folder, I swiped some Oxide ink pads (colors blue and green) at the top of the card. I spritzed water at the top over the ink and let the ink run down the card.

Stamp:  Holiday Happy Mini Stamp Set - Stampendous

Dies:  Dotted Oval - Sizzix

Stitched Oval - Gina Marie

Embossing Folder:  Numbers - Cuttlebug

Oxide Inks: Salty Ocean, Cracked Pistachio

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you will join in the challenge. Have a wonderful day!

Dies Series #19

 Hi and welcome to my blog. I just love the Fall, don't you? I love the smells, colors, and cooler weather. I enjoyed using Fall colors on my die card today. I used an alcohol inked background that I had made on translucent yupo paper and cut out a background die from it. I love this pretty die and wish I had used it earlier! I started this dies series so that I would force myself to use the many dies in my stash that I had not used yet. I am up to 19 so far!

Stamp:  Scribbly Bird - Ranger (Dina Wakley)

Dies:     Organic - Sizzix (Tim Holtz)

              Small Circles - Spellbinders

Alcohol Inks - Ranger

Thanks so much for stopping by. Enjoy your day!
