Hello there! It's Andrea back with you to share a fun, cat-themed card featuring products from Picket Fence Studios' December release.
As a pet owner, the December release really spoke to me. I love the sentiments in the Dogs/Cats Always Know Good People, and the fact that they're customizable for either a dog or a cat is awesome!
While the sentiment inspired my card, that fun, stenciled background is also a favorite. To create it, I used the Meow 6x8 Layering Stencil Set. I started with a panel of pale pink cardstock and blended a darker pink ink through the first stencil. Next, I applied Snowdrop White Paper Glaze through the second stencil. Once the glaze was dry, I diecut the panel with the Beyond Basics: A2 Stamp Cover Plate Dies, wrapped some twine around the panel, and adhered it to a card with foam tape.
I stamped a sentiment from the Dogs/Cats Always Know Good People set in two shades of pink ink. I diecut it and the pink, glittery mat with the 2.5" Connected Circles and 3.0" Connected Circles Shaker Dies. I layered the circles together and attached them to my card with foam. I embellished the sentiment with sequins and hearts from the Pick Me sequin mix.
That cute kitty is from the Happy Paws set. After coloring the kitty with Copics, I glued it to a postage shape I had created with a smaller die from the A2 Stamp Cover Plate Dies. The cancelled postmark was also cut with the A2 Stamp Cover Plate Dies. I diecut the postmark twice - once from the pink cardstock I used for the background and a second time from a coral paper. Onto the negative piece of the pink diecut, I stamped a cat face from the Rectangular Seamless: A Cat's Dream stamp and inlaid it in the coral diecut.

Hi, friends! It's Andrea here with my last blog post of 2024. Didn't this year fly by?!!
Have you guessed by now how much I adore the new Happy Paws stamp by Picket Fence Studios' newest illustrator? The images pair perfectly with the sentiments from the new Dogs/Cats Always Know Good People set, which were the inspiration for this card.
I stamped those sweet pups from Happy Paws with black ink and colored them with Copics. I fussy-cut them (There are matching dies, but I didn't have them at the time I made this card.) and added some details with a white gel pen.
To create the kissing booth, I diecut white cardstock with the Booth Dies. I colored the pieces with Copics and stamped "kissing booth" with the Booth Labels stamp set before assembling everything with liquid adhesive. To fill out my scene, I also diecut two grass pieces with the Grass Tufts Dies and colored them with Copics.
For my background I blended blue and green inks onto a panel of white cardstock with the Life Changing Blender Brushes. I diecut the panel with the Beyond Basics: A2 Stamp Cover Plate with Postmark Dies and trimmed a panel of blue cardstock to size. I adhered the blue panel to a white card and attached the ink-blended panel with foam tape. After attaching the booth to my card with foam, I tucked in the grass tufts and popped up the pups with thin 3D foam squares.
I stamped the sentiment from Dogs/Cats Always Know Good People in black ink and diecut it with the 1.5" Connected Circles Shaker Dies. I cut coral cardstock with the circle die from the Beyond Basics: A2 Stamp Cover Plate with Postmark Dies and adhered the sentiment on top with thin 3D foam squares. I popped up the stacked circle with foam, and my card was done.

You´re such a good friend card
by Silvana Chambon on Dec 23 2024
Hi, friends! It´s Silvana here from Casa Magnolia.The Paws and Prints December release is here and it´s full of lovely pet inspired products. There´s a new illustrator, Yuzu Nook, and she made the cutest stamp set called Happy Paws which I show you today in this card.
I wanted the stamp set to be the focus of this card so I used the masking technique in order to make a one layer card. I colored the images with Copic markers and then covered them with masking paper.
For the sky I used a skyblue ink which I blended with a Life Changing blender Brush. Over the sky I used the On a Cloudy Day 6x8 Stencil with a white pigment ink. The grass was made with two different shades of green and I put some details with White Opaque Paper Splatter.
The stamps details were made with a white gel pen. To finish the card I added one of the sentiments included in the set stamped onto a black cardstock with white embossing powder.
I think the card turned out so well and it´s a perfect scene to gift a dog or cat person.
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today and Iñll see you on my next post.
Have a fantastic week!
Silvana

Hi, friends! It's Andrea with to share a card featuring new goodies from Picket Fence Studios, specifically the adorable Happy Paws stamp set.
How cute are that pet shop and sweet animals?! I used lots of the images from the Happy Paws set to create this one-layer scene. After stamping and masking and stamping some more, I colored this little scene with Copics and added highlights with a white gel pen.
I diecut my scene with the Beyond Basics: A2 Rectangles and Cover Plate Dies. The tan mat I cut with the Pinking Shear A2 Cover Plate Dies, and the pink mat I diecut with another die from the A2 Rectangles Dies. I layered the tan and pink mats onto a white card and adhered my scene with foam tape.
My sentiment is from the Happy Paws set. I stamped it onto white cardstock, which I diecut with the Beyond Basics: A2 Stamp Cover Plate with Postmark Dies. I trimmed two mats from colored cardstock and layered them behind my sentiment before attaching it to my card with foam.
With the A2 Stamp Dies, I also diecut the cancelled-stamp image from pink cardstock. I adhered it to my scene and stamped a paw print from the Dogs/Cats Always Know Good People stamp in the circle. For a little sparkle, I sprinkled some Moonshine Sequins around my card.
