 Just in case you felt left out last week, when I show cased the Cattitude Stamp set, there is a Dog Lovers set as well!  The Let's Paw-ty stamp set features 12 canine themed stamps.

Create super simple cards with the large background stamp.  The great mix of sentiments will work great for multiple occasions. You can find the stamp set here.  If cats are more your style, the cat version can be found here!

Cheers to all your four legged friends!

 

All supplies by Close To My Heart, except where noted:

 A pop of color for a super simple birthday card.  The sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches is a great way to use up some of those scraps you have been hoarding!

To assemble my card, I cut some scraps 1" x 3" in size and then matted in Nectarine and Raspberry cardstock.  The layers were applied to a panel of White Daisy cardstock. To make the card pop, I added a layered bow and a scattering of sequins.  My sentiment is from the October Stamp of the Month,  With All My Love. 

 

Calling all cat lovers!  The new Cattitude Stamp Set is a must have!  This super adorable set features 11 stamps, which includes a variety of feline sentiments.

Create great cards with the collage background or do some selective fussy cutting to show case a few of the felines!  You can purchase the set here.  Dog lovers don't despair, there is a canine themed version here.

Have you started your holiday cardmaking?  If not, the clock is ticking!  I am a bit behind in my holiday crafting, so you can expect to start seeing multiple Christmas cards.  Today, I am doing a remake of the Craft with Heart card subscription. If you are not familiar with Craft with Heart, it is a subscription where you receive regular deliveries of cardmaking or scrapbooking supplies.  The only thing you need to add to the kit is adhesive. The kits are great for beginner and experienced crafters alike.  The card kit includes contents to create 24 cards, 2 each of 12 designs.  You all know that I rarely create the same card twice.  Mass production is just not my thing, unless it is a special request.  The card kits are perfect for me to create the sample card and then branch out with the contents to create card two.  All I added to card two, shown above, was a little bit of cardstock and a few sequins.  I based the card on the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches-

The card kits come with pre-printed card bases.  For my second take on the card design, I simply cut the card base and use the printed base just like you would pattern papers. I added in French Vanilla and New England Ivy cardstock to go along with the sketch design.  If you are more comfortable following along with step by step instructions (the kit  includes color instructions), here is how the card is intended to be created-

 

Both are great cards, the top version is just more my style.  Love my layers! Two Christmas cards down....and countless more to go! If you are interested in the Craft with Heart program, here is samples of the current card kit-

 

 

Each kit contains an exclusive stamp set, so you can easily change out the sentiments.  A  mini block and stamp pad are also included!  Here is a look at the current stamp set-
