Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Did you ever see something that made you think … that would make a cute card!? Today I’m going to share such a card. While visiting at my daughters, they have become foster parents to a big batch of kitties …

I told her she needed a basket to keep all them kitties in… and then it dawned on me; I have a basket full of kitties, and more! I pulled out my Cheerful Basket bundle . Oh, I haven’t even played with this one yet, and who knows … it may be on the Retiring List 😦 I hope not!!

So let’s check out our basket of kitties … I stamped my images in Memento Ink and used assorted Stampin’ Blends to color. I just love to smooth look you get when coloring with the Stampin’ Blends. What color do you like your kitties?

I couldn’t resist having my kittens paws hanging outside of the basket … you know them little guys are crawling “everywhere”!!! To do this, you just cut his legs free and slide them over the basket. I used designer paper scraps for a pop of color behind my basket of kitties. You can use what ever you have around your craft room. The background was done with the Stitched Greenery Die … just love this die as it is so very versatile.

Check out the layers on this card ….

This card was just fun to make … especially if you like coloring and building with layers! Almost as fun as a basket full of kitties. I’ll be sending this card to my granddaughter because she fills my day with happiness, and she loves her kitties!!

Thanks so much for the visit. What would YOU fill your basket with? Hearts? Apples? Crafting Supplies? Let me know in the comments below.

Have a great day ~
