Happy Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! Hope your week is going well. I’ve been working in my craft room – this is “Catalog Swap” week. You know – when I pull the retiring items off my shelves and get the NEW catalog goodies in their place! I’m making labels and getting my magnetic sheets loaded with Dies! Busybusybus!y!
So – sitting down with the adorable Love Cats stamp set was a nice restful little break! Have I told you that I am a cat person? I love Finn and I love my ponies but…kitties are my happy place! Which means that the Love Cats stamp set HAD to have a spot on the shelves! For this one, I paired it with the new Country Cottage 6″ x 6″ DSP – ALSO from the new Jan – Apr 2023 Mini Catalog (available to you on 5 Jan!). Take a look-see:
I borrowed some inspiration for this one from the samples in the catalog – don’t forget about that AMAZING source of inspiration, y’all!
I started by matting a piece of new Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ DSP (one of the Sweet Sorbet designs)….
…on a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal. Then I adhered it to the front of a Thick Basic White card base – at a jaunty angle.
Using my Stamparatus, I stamped the Love Cats image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a smaller Basic White panel. The Stamparatus is an invaluable tool when you want a good solid image – it lets you stamp multiple times in the exact same spot! 🙂
In the corner, I added a Love Cats sentiment in Sweet Sorbet.
I popped the panel onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Then I colored the little heart that the kitty is holding using my Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend.
For a little bling, I added some new Adhesive-backed Milky Dots (available 5 Jan 23!) in Petal Pink and the card front was done!
On the inside, I used my Stamparatus again to stamp a second Love Cats image on a Basic White panel. I used a little sticky note to mask off the hearts and stamped just the cat in Tuxedo Black. When I had it as dark as I wanted, I used my Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Write Marker to color – and then stamp – the hearts. I filled the one open heart with the Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend.
I used Stampin’ Seal to adhere the panel to a Petal Pink mat and into the Thick Basic White cardbase and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the same cat and hearts on the front…
…and a little more Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! How sweet is this Love Cats set?? I love the three images…
…and the sentiments are adorably punny! And…Country Gingham…am I right?!? Every single pattern and color in this pack is perfect and gorgeous! And – you’ll get 48 beautiful sheets in the pack! Whoohoo!
I hope you like!
Now – if you want a sample and a chance to hold the pretty papers in your hands…be sure to check out my shares – you’ll get TWO of each of the designs in this pack – plus a WHOLE LOT more! – with your share!! 🙂

Such a cute card! Love the goofy kitties and the fun sentiments in that set! Yeah, nothing like a good game of tug to make a dog be okay with being dried and fluffed! 🙂
