Did you know it's International Cat Day? While I do not currently own a cat, I have owned a few in my lifetime. They were very loving cats.
To commemorate this day, I have been playing in the studio with the Clever Cat set from the new July-Dec Mini Catalog. The cats in this set made me laugh when I saw the set so I just had to get it.
The image of the cat in the box is too funny. Anyone who has owned a cat has experienced them climbing into a box of any size and the cat in this set is clearly too big for the box, but that doesn't matter!
In the above card I chose the cat that is peaking out of the pumpkin. I added the spider and the two of them appear to be 'looking' at each other!! I love all the little sentiments in this set and added a few on the front. The stamped bats are from the Sparkle of the Season stamp set.
This card I chose the fat cat image looking like it doesn't have a care in the word as to what is going on. Typical of many cats! The pumpkin die cut is from the Seasonal Swirl Dies, and the stamped stars and bats are also from the Sparkle of the Season stamp set.
I used the Painted Texture embossing folder on the middle layer of each card. The first orange card shows it well. Unfortunately it did not show up in the photos of the 2nd black card.
I also used the new Cute Halloween 6x5 paper in both cards, but different patterns. I love that one side of the paper is black & shite and the other is a choice of pattern/fun Halloween images.
I used the same sketch layout in both cards. It is one of my favorite sketches to create with. The below gives you the measurements for this sketch. Give it try, it may become your favorite as well.
