Sneak Peek: Autumn Wreath + Cuddly Cats

Hello everyone, Alix here sharing products from the new upcoming September 5th release. Today I’m highlighting the Cuddly Cats and Autumn Wreath stamp sets.

To begin with my card, I first stamped the images from the Cuddly Cats on a piece of Bristol paper and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. Then I cut them with the Cuddly Cats coordinating dies.

I wanted to create a scene showing all the cat favorites. I did my magic to fit them all onto an A2 sized card panel. For my inked background, I ink blended my background for the front panel using distress ink oxide in Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick, and for the shaker window in Cracked Pistachio with Mermaid Lagoon. I mixed Spiced Marmalade oxide ink with water and splatter onto the upper portion of the background.
To create the shaker window, I cut the window using Stitched Diamonds Die from a piece of watercolor paper. I stamped sentiment onto a piece of acetate paper using VersaMark ink and heat embossed it. I then adhered the acetate paper right underneath the front panel. I poured 4mm Sparkling Clear Sequins ,4mm Shamrock Sequins, Jewels in Shamrock and colored fish images, then closed the window with foam tape.

I glued all colored images around the window and embellished surroundings with Jewels in Pink Blush and Marigold (one of five new colors coming in this release!).

Now let’s shift the gear to another awesome stamp set – Autumn Wreath. This time I decided to do a simpler card with a gorgeous color combo. I colored selected images from the Autumn Wreath stamp set with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens and die cut them using the Autumn Wreath coordinating dies.

I cut card panel from a piece of blue cardstock and attached colored images. Then I splattered diluted white watercolor paint onto the background by tapping on watercolor brush handle. I cut a piece of vellum paper in smaller rectangle shape and glued it onto the background using Multi Medium Matte since it dries clear with matte finish. I die cut top sentiment using Thankful For You Script Die and adhere it on top of vellum paper. At last, I embellished the card choosing 4mm Clear Droplets

My third card combines both featured stamp sets. Since all images from the Cuddly Cats and Autumn Wreath were colored already, it was very easy to put together. I first ink smudged the background on a piece of watercolor paper using water diluted Tim Holtz Distress oxide ink in Broken China. Then I popped the wreath off the center to the left side using double sided foam squares to create some dimension.

I created more dimension by adding these foliage images on one and another on the bottom of the wreath. I added this cute gray kitty in the center as focal point. I stamped sentiment inside of wreath and embellished background with Sequins in 4mm Sparkling Clear and 6mm Sparkling Clear.

I hope that I tickled your heart a little by showing these upcoming goodies. Stay tuned for more sneak peeks in the next few days!
