A Kitty Card and an Owl Thank You Card Set










I've got a card today for this week's Make it Monday #174:  Diamond Wallpaper Stamping.  I used a stamp from Autumn Pattern Pieces to stamp my background, and filled in some of the diamonds with itty bitty paw prints.


The background stamping was not difficult, but it did take a long time to do and lots of worries about messing up and starting again.   I was sad to think that so much of it would be covered up by my Spiral Notebook die cut, which is where I put all the bits of my focal point.  So....I actually cut the Spiral Notebook piece out of that stamped piece, filled it in with a True Black die cut, and now I have a wallpaper stamped Spiral Notebook piece to use later in the week.




I made a set of thank you cards for my daughter to use for her birthday thank you's.  Of course, there had to be owls on them--I used a strip of owl washi tape to decorate the top panel and a sentiment from Reverse Confetti Lots to Say.  They are all a little bit different because I varied the colors as well as which corners I rounded on the top panel.  They are A1 size which is about 3X5.  That seems to be an easier space for Sarah to fill when writing her thank yous.

I well be entering the card and the thank you set at Simply Create Too #66:  For a Child, and Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes.


Thanks for Visiting

  9. There's that cat again! I think I need it. I think it would be wrong of me to say no. Very sweet cards. At first I didn't "see" the owls but now I see they are on the washi tape.
