Pinspiration Collaboration - Halloween Cat Card

ft. Cat Punch, and A Wish for Everything Stamp Set by Stampin' Up!

On the fourth Saturday each month, a group of us on YouTube make a card or project that was inspired by something we found on Pinterest.  This month, I picked a card made using the Cat Punch, where the cat was sitting in a yellow'ish circle on black base and had yellow twine wrapped several times around the bottom of the card mat.  

I had done a background last Wednesday on my live (which is usually on Tuesday 7 pm Eastern) using the Holiday Catalog Decorative Masks (stencils) and ended up looking like an animal print.  So, that and the cat punch were my starting points to make something inspired by the Pinterest card.  Here is what I came up with:

The decorative mask used is listed in the supplies below, but won't be available until 9/4/19 as it is in the 2019 Holiday Catalog.  The black twine was from a prior Paper Pumpkin kit, and the little silver spider trinket hanging down just to the right of the cat is retired from the 2018 Holiday Catalog (no longer available).  All other products used are listed below and linked directly to my web store at Stampin' Up! if you are interested in purchasing any of them and reside in the USA.

Here is a link to my YouTube video, which explains how I made this A2-sized card:

RAINBOW COLLABORATION - 8/31/19

ft. Leave a Little Sparkle Stamp Set (Unicorns)
by Stampin' Up!

In the final week of the Rainbow Collaboration on YouTube, hosted by My World in OKC, we were permitted to pick any color we wanted to create a project.  I couldn't decide on a color, so I decided to watercolor the rainbow using Stampin' Up!'s Watercolor Pencils (including Set 2).  

Recently, I purchased the Leave a Little Sparkle Stamp Set from the Annual Catalog and remembered my granddaughter dressing up as a Rainbow Unicorn for Halloween in the past.  The idea was born for the Rainbow Unicorn card, pictured below (although I have to say that the picture does Not do this card justice, so please go watch the video!).

This is an A2 sized card (5-1/2" H x 4-1/4" W) on Highland Heather cardstock.  The Sparkle Glimmer Paper mat is 5-1/4" H x 4" W, and the watercolor paper is approximately 4-3/4" H x 3-3/4" W.  Inside, there is a Whisper White piece that is 5-1/4" H x 4" W, and just a strip of the watercolor rainbow cut off the front mat before rounding the corners of that mat.
