Wobbler Cat - Tim Holtz HaLLoWeeN Snarky Cat

Hello friends! Everyone loves a little Snarky Cat, right! The new Tim Holtz Snarky Cat Halloween set from Stampers Anonymous is perfect for those Halloween cards you need to make. And adding the Wobbler action on the cat makes him do a little shake shake, makes everyone smile. 

He looks like he just got in trouble for getting into the candy stash. Haha!

Stamp your favorite Snarky Cat, pumpkin and witches hat with Black Soot Archival Ink. 


Cut out all the stamp images and cut off the tail, don't worry we'll re-attach it later. 

Color the images with Distress ink and a waterbrush.  I think the new Crackling Campfire Distress Ink would be great for that pumpkin. when coloring it's so hard to keep the eyes clean so I stamped another set of eyes cut them out and adhered them after I was all done coloring. 

Position the new dot shifter stencil over an old book page and ink with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink on an Ink Blending Tool.

Re position stencil lining up the dot to the engraved image on the stencil and Ink with Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink on an Ink Blending Tool. I like to use the Oxide Inks for this, they are a little opaque and I love that. 

Add a few stamped spider webs and of corse some spiders too. I used the Distress Oxide ink in Black Soot for the ink. 

Cut cardstock to mat your background. I used black Metallic Kraftcore and an orange card base. Do a little sanding on the cardstock then ink the edges with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink.

Adhere the background and black piece together then add so random stitching around the edges leaving the loose ends of the thread. Use foam tape to adhere4 the pumpkin. 

Adhere the Witches Hat and the tail to the cat. Now add the cat with the wobbler.

Stamp the message with Wilted Violet and create a little flag and adhere with foam tape. 

Wow wouldn't love this cut cat and the wobbler make its even more fun.

Still CraZy for CrAZy!

Hello friends! Are you still CRAZY over the Tim Holtz Crazy stamps? They just make me happy every time I see them. It's hard not to have a smile on your face because they're just so cute. So Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I thought these would make great cards for my grandkids and my sweetheart. 

The Crazy that started it all Bird Crazy I think the Birds are my favorites. 
All the images are stamped onto Watercolor Cardstock with Jet Black Archival Ink, then colored with Distress Markers and blended out with the Detail Waterbrush. The Crazy Bird, Cats and Dog are all die cut with the corresponding Thinlits Die from the Sizzix Alterations line. 

Bird Crazy
For the background of this card I first inked the Big Number Stamps with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink, then Inked the Vines and Roses stamp with Fired Brick Distress Oxide Ink, kissed the stamps together and stamp it on Watercolor Cardstock. I also colored the Numbers with an Antique Linen Distress Marker and then blended out the color with a Waterbrush. 



Crazy Cats
The Cats are mounted on a piece of Memoranda Paper Stash, then a piece of Watercolor Cardstock cut into a big heart then embossed for a little texture, I also added stitching around these pieces before adhering them to the card. 



Crazy Dogs
Don't you just love this cute little dog? The ground and the sun are stamped onto Watercolor Cardstock with the new stamp set from Stampers Anonymous called Brushstrokes using Distress Markers to color them. These stamps are so fun! 


I hope this gives you a few ideas for creating cards for Valentines day or just for fun! 

Have a great week and thanks so mush for stopping by!
