"FLUFFIEST FRIENDS" THANK YOU

 

If you like adorable fluffy animals that are so fun and easy to color, then you would really enjoy Stampin' Up!'s "Fluffiest Friends" stamp set and coordinating dies.  The animals in this set are so very sweet!  I needed a thank you card recently and chose this chunky cat for the focal point.  After the cat was colored, I looked for a coordinating piece of designer paper and found one from the (retired) Garden Impressions collection.

As you can see from the above photo, circle dies were used to cut a window in the front of the card and then frame it with coordinating cardstock.  The die-cut fluffy cat was placed on the inside of the card--through the die-cut circle window--using Stampin' Dimensionals.  The sentiment is from "Sweetly Scripted", which is turning out to be a very handy and useful stamp set.  When my first embossed attempt didn't show up on the card, I stamped the sentiment again onto a scrap of white cardstock, which was heat-embossed with gold and then trimmed to fit across the bottom front of the card.

Hopefully, you can see a bit of shimmer on the purple flower, which was brushed with Wink of Stella.  After the cat was adhered to the inside of the card, I decided to use a marker to add the polka dots. In the photo below, you can see how the card looked on display:

I really liked how the circle of dots framed the fluffy cat when the card was open.  Of course, I had to take care when writing my message, but there was actually plenty of space to do so.

Thank you for visiting my blog today!  Have a stampin' good day!
