Cat Lovers Christmas Cards

In addition to the many dog stamps we have for the Christmas Season, we also have cat rubber stamps! We have a cute cat dressed in a postal uniform, called "Litter Carrier". We have a stamp called, "Meowy Christmas" where the cat is wearing reindeer ears. Here are some handmade cards that have feature an adorable cat as the focal point.

With the right coordination of colors, Christmas cards can be any color theme. You don't have to stay with traditional reds and greens. We use pinks, turquoise and browns in the cards featured below.

1. Meowy Merry Christmas Card

Above is our Meowy Christmas Rubber Stamp colored in grey shades because grey cats are super cool.

The words, "Merry Christmas" are stamped 3x in various pink shades. The text stamp is from our large collection, Jolly Christmas. As you can see, I had an assistant with these cards. (When I say 'assistant', I mean one who naps and purrs nearby).

2. Litter Carrier from the North Pole Card

Our Litter Carrier Rubber Stamp is such a fun stamp to color. I made him an orange kitty since they are known to be super smart cats. This stamp features the official Post Office logo hat and he/she is wearing mittens, glasses and a scarf.

In the corner, I placed our North Pole Postmark stamp which is also in our large collection, Jolly Christmas.

3. Fancy Cat Christmas

Our Fancy Cat Rubber Stamp can be used for any occassion and it looks fantastic on Christmas themed papers. I colored the design in pinks and reds to match the matte colors.

The edge was burnished with Distress Oxide, Candied Apple ink. A red grosgrain ribbon was added to the top center. Tip: Ribbons are an item that I like to purchase in person whenever I visit Michaels or Hobby Lobby.

4. Peace, Love, Joy Cat Card

Here is another A2 card, this time featuring a black cat.

The cat stamped above is half of our Furry Friends Rubber Stamp (the other part is a dog). It is a bit tricky to cut apart the rubber stamps on this one. Instead, you can stamp it and cut out the paper or mask it with tape before stamping.

I colored the eyes a light green on the cat and made sure to use black ink to stamp with. Black cats are some of the coolest cats in the world, IMO.

For the background center, I used our Peace Love Joy stamp from one of our other large collections, Season of Joy.

This stamp is cool and has a wood look, so it was perfect for this brown & green color theme.

In the corner, I used our Holly Candles Rubber Stamp.

I hope you have as much fun as I did when you make your Cat Christmas Cards.

Journaling Techniques to Create a Card

In this project, I combined some favorite journaling techniques to create a handmade card. For those of you that do not create junk journals, that's ok because the processes, like watercolor paint splashes, rolling edges of the paper are used below make a very pretty card with many layers. I also include below a couple of tips on keeping your tools sharp and options for using different focal points. We use a center layout where everything is built around the middle line of the card. Embellish using the top left and bottom right with a background pattern of script in black ink gives the green center a nice contrast which is often seen in journaling. (The red flowers are watercolor designs that were inkjet printed.) You can use stickers of flowers just the same. The Venus de Milo Rubber Stamp is now available. It measures about 1.25" wide x 3.25" tall. The oval frame is from our Create a Cameo Rubber Stamp Collection . You will notice, I used the top part of the Ve

Non-Halloween Stamps to Create Scary

The dramatic effect of white embossing onto black paper doesn't just have to be done at Halloween. Here we used some unconventional stamps to create a scary tag with a base of black. While these stamps normally wouldn't be in the Halloween category, they end up somehow being perfect to create a scary tag. The best way to get a bright white look is by embossing with white powder. Embossing always comes out looking extraordinary and worth the extra effort. Above is our Victorian Man Profile Rubber Stamp embossed onto black chipboard. He'll make a great embellishment for a Halloween. (measures about 2 inch x 2 inch). A tree branch from our Season of Joy Collection is one of my favorite stamps. It expresses the beauty of nature in a simple way. Above, the branch stamp was embossed in Copper Powder onto black card stock. Our Grunge Ticket Rubber Stamp is seen above, embossed in white onto black card stock. The stamp measures about 3 inches tall x 1.5 inches wide. I love

IPhone Cover Decor

Since Xyron has a fabulous way of making anything into a sticker, I decided to create décor for the back of my cell phone case. Taking beautiful, damask patterned glitter paper from DCWV, 6x6 pad, 'The Glitter Basics" I cut out my iPhone 6s cover pattern using a template I created in plain white cardstock of my case. To cut out the circle in the middle, I used an X-Acto knife. The Scooter Rubber Stamp was embossed on red paper and cut out with scissors. I smudged 'Claret' color StazOn ink around the edges. After placing the scooter through the Xyron Creative Station, I placed it onto the iPhone pattern and ran both through together. The Creative Station can take such thick items. You will see below that I ran embellishments made from shrink plastic and it had no problem with them. One of the magical features of the Xyron's sticker makers is that the top of your project comes out unscathed. You just peel the plas
