Cute New Kitties

 I love making cute, whimsical cards and craft projects.  I just love this new kitty set by Stampin Up called Pretty Kitty.  It has five cute kitty images to stamp with.  This card is for my daughter, who loves kitties of all kinds. 

I made two cards, reversing the designer paper on the second one.  They are both identical cards, but the reversal of the background paper gives them each a different look.  Which card do you like better? The darker background or the lighter one?

I used the designer paper called Blooms and Bliss, which I really like.  I'm excited to try some making more projects using it.

This card idea is from Lynn Weiss.  She must love kitties, too. 

Gift in a Box

This week in my stamping classes we made these really cute gift boxes out of the wooden stamp cases.  Inside the box is a set of 4 note cards with envelopes and 3 pieces of chocolate!  They make a nice gift to give.  And the cool part- it's all contained in a little box.  I found the idea online by Linda Gutierrez. 

Here is a close up of some of the coordinating note cards.  I made them with two of the new In Colors: Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey.  I stamped a small tag stamp on the envelope.  Attach them to a gift or just give a little note to someone.  And the chocolates, they're for you!

Here's are some more note cards made with a different set of stamps.  You can make write anything inside and use them for any occasion.

This project can be made with different colors and for different seasons.  I think it would look really cute for Christmas with some tags in it.  What do you think?
