Welcome to MANY PAWS

Do you love cats? Cat rubber stamps?  Real cats =^..^=   I sure do! Tell me about your cat(s) and how they inspire your creativy. Do they help you when you make cards (like lay right on your project!)?

I've had wonderful cats since I was 9 years old. My first cat lived until I was 30. She was the runt of the litter and lived to be 21. She set a high bar for kitty longevity didn't she? Now here I am...mid fifties and still LOVE cats!  Speaking of kitties - do you have the rubber stamp I used here called, of course, Many Paws ?  It's cute stamped with any background. For fun I used some leftover string I had in my stash and wrapped it around the bottom of the dark pink background piece. It ties in with the kitty with the striped sweater. Or is that string wrapped around that kitty?  If you're inspired (ins-purr-ired) to shop don't forget to use code TJ10AJ to save 10%.

All About Spring

Happy Sunday!

I am sharing two fun cards today here on the Technique Junkies blog. 

 The first day of spring is tomorrow! So ya'll know how much I loved working with this great new background stamp All About Spring. 

Here is my first card:

To create this card, I used my Misti, so that each time I stamped, the placement was accurate. I began with the top section. I masked off the lower section of the stamp, and inked up the upper section with pink ink. I removed the mask, and made my first stamp. The next section was done the same way, except for masking off the upper and lower sections, and stamping only the 3 green lines. This process was repeated for the lower section. The word 'Spring' was stamped onto a piece of cardstock, trimmed closely, matted with a matching orange border & popped up using dimensional foam. Note: I did re-stamp a flower in yellow, and pop it up over top of the green stamped flower.

Here is my next card:

To create this card, I grabbed up a Kraft card base, and a focal panel piece, also in Kraft. Using the beautiful new Pretty Line Florals background stamp, I stamped the background with Versamark ink, so it is a pretty, soft, tone on tone.  Next, using Catherine Pooler's Midnight Ink, I stamped the gorgeous new sentiment No Greater Love. The focal panel was matted with a black panel, and adhered to the card base. Quick and easy! I send a lot of cards to church family, so a stamp like this makes me happy dance!

Thanks for stopping by today!
