What do you do when UPS delivers a box from Stampin’ Up? You tear it open as fast as you can, and make a card! That’s what I did anyway. And the first thing I reached for was our new Cat Punch. With the colors of the Fab Friday Challenge #118 in mind, my cat became a Melon Mambo Calico Cat.
I was also anxious to use the Quilt Top Textured embossing folder, and rolled it through the Big Shot with Whisper White cardstock. I decided to layer that on a Flirty Flamingo card base, and Lemon Lime Twist would be for the sentiment and plants. Aren’t the plants adorable? They are in the Pick a Pumpkin Bundle, and they come with dies to cut them out.
There’s also a fabulous plant die without a stamp that I didn’t use, but don’t overlook it. Jack-o-lanterns are my favorite part of Halloween, so this set was at the top of my list. My husband carves a pumpkin every year, without fail.
Since the embossed quilt had circles, I decided to use the Stitched Shapes Circles for the cat, and the sentiment. I stamped the plants and sentiment (“have a Magical Birthday” from the Magical Mermaid stamp set) in Lemon Lime Twist, and die cut the plants.
Three Glitter Enamel Dots were the final touch for my whimsical card. Thank you, Fab Friday, for the inspiration with these colors.
I love to read your comments! Let me know if there is a color or pattern you would like to see for my cat on future cards. Or, if you’d like to make your own cats, I can help you order.
Love your card!!! Is the kitty punched from a DSP paper or is it a stamped paper. Thank You for sharing.
Thanks for commenting, Tricia! The kitty is punched from DSP. It was in Succulent Gardens.
Thank you for response.
I never would have thought to do this and yet it looks so very, very nice. Thank you so much for sharing. That embossing folder is very lovely. I will be getting one.
Thank you, Patricia! I’m so glad you enjoyed my card.
How cute! Love your little kitty and the die cuts around your sentiment are perfect. Thanks for joining us at Fab Friday, hope to see you again soon!
Thanks Amy! I enjoyed your challenge!
So cute! I love this cat in our fresh colors, and you picked some of my fave images that I can’t wait to play with! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
Thank you, Heather! I appreciate your comments.
Very sweet! I got the Pick a Pumpkin bundle too and I think the leaves are adorable! I love how you used them behind your sentiment here. Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
Thanks Amanda! I enjoyed the challenge.
Well it looks like I am the first to comment about your adorable melon mambo calico cat. So cute and appropriate for many age groups. I have 2 fur babies myself and believe this punch will be a quick sell out.
Thank you, Stella! Hopefully, SU is prepared with a large supply.
