I so love this large kitty background stamp featured in the Cattitude Stamp Set. If you have yet to add this set to your collection, it is on sale this month for only $12.25!  (The sale price will be reflected in your cart)  Just because it is a line drawn stamp set, does not mean that you have to color every image.  I chose to stamp the large image on a bright colored Picture My Life card from the Party Time Collection.

The large background stamp was stamped in black pigment ink and heat embossed in clear.  I added a banner and inked my sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed in white.  A black frame from the Stitched Rectangle Frames Thin Cuts finishes off the card. 

My inside sentiment is from the On Your Birthday stamp set, which is also on sale for $12.25 this month! A 3/4" strip was cut from the same background image for the inside of the card.

 Adulting has gotten in the way of my crafting this week!  I say we bring back blanket forts and coloring....though I might have to replace my crayons with Copics!  I only had limited time to craft today, but the day is so much better when I can take at least a few minutes to create!  This card is certainly clean and simple, but it lets the gingham print shine! My card is based on the sketch challenge at Fusion Cards Challenge-

I have a slight obession with hoarding gingham paper.  I have it in almost all colors!  It is one of my favorite prints.  This print in Sundance is from the Daisy Meadows Paper Collection.  My sentiment is from the April Stamp of the Month, Scandinavian Folk Art Greetings.

 So often, super simple creates the best cards!  We have a new sketch this week at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  You are welcome to dress it up or down, as long as we can see the sketch design in your creation.  Here is the original sketch design-

I am normally a many layers type card maker, but sometimes simplicity totally works!  It definitely works well for cards that are going in the mail!  This card is about as close to a one layer card as I get. I started with a Party Time Picture My Life card, which I cut down to card size and matted with Lagoon cardstock.  The original card, said Celebration in a banner strip over the present....which really did not work for me.  I added a Birthday Wishes sticker to change out the sentiment.  This card features a little humor from the On Your Birthday stamp set.

The birthday sentiment carries over to the inside of the card.  I save pretty much all of my paper scraps!  They are the perfect addition to add to the inside of cards.

 I so love the Party Time papers!  The ability to switch back and forth from feminine to masculine in the same paper pack is genius!  I am currently working on building up my birthday card stash, and this paper pack is residing on my desk!  This super cute card is based on the sketch challenge at MFT-

Raspberry cardstock is one of my favorite colors!  It is a super bright, yet deep pink...yet all my photos make it look red! My card is created with layers of Raspberry & Lagoon cardstock, my photography skills are just lacking in showing the true colors!  The candles are from the Party Time sticker sheets and are popped up with 3-D foam dots for added dimension. 

 My sentiment is from the On Your Birthday stamp set.  Speaking of stamps, all stamps are currently on sale!  "D" size stamp sets are currently on sale for only $12.25!  Now is a great time to add to your collection.  Here is a look at the complete set-
