Let Me Sing You The Song Of My People!


So happy to see you today!  Today I'm sharing a card I made because I've been wanting this Waffle Flower Flora Cat Play stamp set for a loooong time, but kept denying myself because... I'm a dog person... not a cat person (although I love all creatures great and small).. and I don't need it... but it's so sweet!  And then I was at the stamp show in Mesa and there it was.. and what better reason to buy it than it found me!  And all of the dies were on sale so I bought this cool Moon & Stars Panel Die... I mean... the girls were very persuasive... they said "All dies are on sale."  And I said... I'll take it!  I mean... relentless, right?


I mean this sweet kitty cat!  With her sweet little mouse friend!  I don't know why I made myself wait so long!  I chose the music embossing folder for the backdrop because I felt this kitty looks like she might be humming something that makes her happy... and those stars dropping from the top of the frame... I chose some gold glitter paper because... well... I love it!

I cut this panel three times and layered them for a little dimension.  The bar of hanging stars is separate and I just tucked it in under the top edge.


And I won't tell you how long I wanted this Celebrate die from MFT!  Everytime I'd go to order it was sold out... because it is awesome!  It's a fantastic size and the font is beautiful!  I cut it once in gold glitter paper and a couple times from cardstock, layered them, and then attached it so it was laying on top of the bottom rectangle... speaking of gold, I'm playing along over at Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge which is All That Glitters is Gold!  I'm also playing along with the Glitter Challenge over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday!


That's me for today!  Hope you enjoyed your stop and you'll come back soon!

Fantastic card. I love the music background and that great kitty image and little mouse. And, adding polka dots is a really great choice too.

Aww.... so CUTE! I'm not a cat person either, but get why you would want that stamp! Sometimes they just call to you! And how DARE those Salespeople tell you there was a sale!! GRRR! (LOL)
The nerve of them tempting us crafters! hahaha I've been wanting that moon & stars die for a while now... kind of jealous you got it! ;) I do however LOVE that Celebrate die... I swear it's one of my GO TO Word Dies! It looks awesome on your card with the musical embossed background! :)

Your card definitely "hums" with celebratory music, Lisa. The cat and his little mouse are beautifully colored, and your use of gold glitter for the music is quite clever. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us for our November glitter challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday!!! -Donna

OMGOSH! That is the most festive card ever! I love it!! The cat really does look like he's singing or at least loving the music he is hearing!
Where did you get that embossing folder of the music? What brand? I think I really NEED it!! :)
