Today the Featured Stamper is"sevencats".  I had not ever noticed her work, she has some wonderful cards!

I went with the first and wanted to make a 4th of July card to send to Germany...so her card can be seen here ~ witch cat.

And my take on her card...

I stamped and colored the little fellow, I added some glitter on his antennae,  Tho you can't see it in the picture.  The black background is a cloud stamp with White Craft Ink.  Then I used VersaMark and some gold glimmer embossing powder I picked up in Germany (works great!).  The white panel I used the scallop punch for the two corners with some jewels.  The card stock is Pacific Point, Real Red, Black and White.  The sentiment...I didn't have anything with the 4th of July, so I stamped with 3 different stamps and punched them out using the small and medium Oval Punches.  The inks are Real Red, Pacific Point and White.

Hope you have a safe and wonderful 4th!

I think I can get back to making cards again.  My life has been sort of turned around of late.  My son (the one in Germany) left his elderly dog in our care and he got sick.  Then he had a heart attack and passed away yesterday.  As much as we didn't want another dog to care for, he has been a part of our lives for 13 1/2 years.  He will be missed!

I have also missed my great pleasure...ink on my fingers and the smell of paper!


Here is the card I made for today ~

Based on this card by maryrose, her first:  Shabby Rooster.


I needed a few more Christmas cards for my hubby's co-workers so I went that.  I kept the layout pretty much, changed the colors, used different punches, and a Christmas Stamp set from SU.

I scored the DSP (Basic Grey's Jovial) every half inch both ways for a little more dimension. It's hard to see in the picture.  I used White and Riding Hood Red card stock, Used black ink and stampin write pens {Riding Hood Red, More Mustard, Baja Breeze, Basic Black}.  I punched out the sentiment using the small & medium Oval Punches from SU.
