Time With Friends fun fold

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great week! I’ve popped in this morning with my second post to share a Syncopation Design inspiration project! I was gifted the super adorable Cat Therapy stamp set, and of course, being a Crazy Cat Lady, all kinds of ideas were swimming through my head! It has been a minute since I created a shutter card (shutter – as in camera) and I once again tried my hand at it and used several of the images in this stamp set. I love how it turned out! If you are a fellow cat person, you need this stamp set in your stash – it has over 50 stamps in it!

I cut the card base, inside pieces and belly band from CutCardStock Sno Cone cardstock, along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the Basic Grey Marjolaine 6×6 paper pad and Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I stamped several images and sentiments in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Cat Therapy stamp set on Solar White, fussy cut them and adhered them to the belly band. I stamped a paw print and sentiment on the card front in black ink, and added several turquoise pearls.

I used circle punches to create an aperture on the inside for the shutter mechanism, and added a sticker from the 7 Gypsies Architextures Create Stash Paque. Here is a shot of the shutter opening up.

And here is a shot of the shutter completely open revealing another adorable kitty from the stamp set getting in some ‘me time.’ How stinkin’ cute is this?!
