Best Day

Well.....when I first saw this stamp set I loved everything about

it EXCEPT for this cat inside the cupcake.

So last night I decided I was going to make a card using this 

cat/cupcake image for today's blog post.

AND so what do you think of the cat/cupcake card?

I honestly think that this card turned out pretty darn CUTE!!!

I really like it!

Check out how I stamped the cupcake liner again onto another 

piece of Basic White card stock.  

I then colored it with my Stampin' Blends, fussy cut it out with scissors

 and accordion fold (pleated) it on the lines.

I popped it up with dimensionals & layered it over the top of the 

cupcake liner that the cat is in, that is stamped directly onto the stitched circle.

WOW-

It by adding this popped up cupcake liner- 

it gave the whole card a different look & feel!

In person it is really noticeable & is just so stinkin' cute!

We used to have a big farm tomcat that was yellow & white- 

so I tried to make this cat look like him.

This cat now just makes me smile!

And I hope it does you too!
