“Kitty in a Can” Handmade Card

Hello everyone!  If you noticed that I have not been posting or commenting much lately, it is because I have been away from home, attending a family funeral.   Of course, no one wants to have to attend a funeral, but it is what happens, and it is always good to pay your respects and then spend time with family.

The card I am sharing today is one I made last week and saved for today.  

  I have a cute everyday card to share with you today.  I noticed this sweet Kitty in a Can image in the IBFS store and thought it would make such a sweet card for my many cat-loving friends and family members.  And working with it really made me happy!  It is amazing what great therapy stamping can be!



I colored it with alcohol markers and framed it out with several die cuts.  I stamped the sentiment (found in the Quarter Sheet Dahlia stamp set) on coordinating patterned paper and cut it out with a tag die.  A bit of baker’s twine and I felt this card was finished!

Thank you for your visit today!  Hope your day is filled with creative moments!

I am so sorry for your loss. Yes, I missed you. As a subscriber to your blog I thought I wasn't getting updates so I came onto your blog to make sure I didn't miss anything.

This is such a terrific card. The designer paper really works well with your adorable image and is cooured to perfection. Hugs.
