Hi friends! Happy Monday – I hope you had a great weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #57 – Anything Christmas Goes! I created a sweet front flap card featuring a feline (one of my favorite critters) from some older Paper Smooches stamps and dies. They are sadly out of business but their stamps and dies live on (and I have quite a few)!
I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in The Paper Studio Four Seasons and Everything In Between -2- paper pad and CutCardStock Basis Dark Red and Basis Natural cardstock. I used the Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Dies for the circles on the front.
I stamped the kitty from the Paper Smooches Feline Friends stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut him with the coordinating Feline Friends die. I cut the front sentiment from Basis Natural cardstock using a Sizzix Script Holiday Words Thinlit. The finishing touch was adding red gemstones.
I cut the inside panel from Basis Natural and embellished it with a leftover plaid print and Basis Dark Red used on the front. I added a rectangle cut with the Keep It Simple Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies on which I stamped a sentiment from the Hero Arts Holiday Messages & Frames stamps in Memento Espresso Truffle ink. To finish the card, I added an ampersand die cut from Basis Dark Red using another die from the Sizzix Script Holiday Words Thinlits.
