Got Cats???

You probably know that I'm on the Design Team for Rubbernecker Stamps - and owner Dave has just come out with a wonderful little cat set - called Cat Set #597 - and it contains 12 cat stamps in different poses and 6 cat related sentiments.  Although the Cat Set is posted in the Halloween stamp section of the store-  the sentiments are not related to Halloween - so this is a great set to be used year round!

I made this card using this week's Sketch over at Split Coast Stampers.

For this card I used the mother cat with her two little baby kittens stamp.

I stamped the sentiment on a piece of red card stock because it didn't look good on white (!) but it did make it a little hard to read in the pic!!  The sentiment says "Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want."

I used papers from my Pet Stack by Die Cuts With a View (DCWV) - of course I then proceeded to cover up all the cat theme images with my panels - but there are fish and cat faces and cat paws in there!  Can you see them?!

And of course - mummy cat has bling on her neck and baby kitties have bling on their tails - because they know how to ask for what they want!!

This card has way more panels than I usually use so it was a good challenge for me to get them all on!

My next cat card was made for two challenges on Split Coast - The CAS challenge to paper piece - and the Try a New Technique challenge to paper piece chipboard.

So this turned out to be kind of modern artsy (!) - My original thought was that paper piecing these butterfly wings and using them with the cat would sort of make a Bat Cat and it would be a Halloween card -  but the wings really didn't look 'bat-like' and then I thought of adding the crown and this fun sentiment  and this became the Butterfly Cat Princess - who isn't talkin' ???!!!

And last but not least -  I have to show you a card using one of the cats on a Halloween card - they can all be Halloween kitties!  

The tree stamp is from another new Halloween set called Birds in Trees. Look how perfectly perched that cat is!!
