Miss Ink Stamps Feline Spooky stamp set
Graphic 45 Charmed Collection
Black paper
Purple paper
White paper
Green paper
Pink paper 
Black ink
White card stock

For this 5 1/4 square card I made the card base with white card stock.  I took a piece of Graphic 35 Charmed Collection striped paper and added that to the card.  I took the Graphic 45 Cat paper and cut off the cat border and added that to the bottom of the card.  I took the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers:  Scaredy Cat die set and the colored paper and cut all the pieces out and than assembled the cat and added it to my card.  I took a strip of White paper and the sentiment from the Miss Ink Stamps Feline Spooky stamp set and some Black ink and stamped that onto the white strip and added it to the card!  I absolutely LOVE this sweet kitty, it reminds me of my Josie Girl!  I hope you like my card!

These Boots are meant for Walking

 Hello Friends!!


I know it has been a while since I have posted much to my blog and I am hoping this is the beginning of posting more often and hopefully getting back on some Design Teams!  I have missed creating cards so much!  But our move to our new house is much harder that I thought and our new home is much smaller than the old one so that means my scrap room is very crowded and unorganized!  But I will make it work!


Here is my card:



Ingredients:

Graphic 45 Star paper
Black Shimmer paper
Green paper
Yellow Shimmer paper
Card base

For this card I started by cutting the papers with the Brass and Bliss Fancy Boot Die, when I saw this on their web page I ordered it right away!  I absolutely love making Halloween cards and a Witches Boot is so much fun!  I had a lot of fun making this card.  I took a premade card base and added thew Graphic 45 Star paper to the card base.  After I cut out the Fancy Boot and pieced it together I added it to the card.  I cut out the Witch saying from a paper scrap that I had in my stash.  I added some pop dots and placed it on the card!  I am so in love with the Fancy Boot die and I know you will be too!
