I love cats but am highly allergic to many of them, especially if they have longer hair. The shorter the hair the better. When I worked in London I used to be a finance office in social services and spent a good part of my week visiting clients at home. I was walking down a street and saw this gorgeous moggy with long hair and couldn’t resist stroking it. It was a big mistake as I must have touched my eye afterwards. Within half an hour my eye closed up. YIKES!!! I, therefore, have to love them from afar.

This cute little box is made from gorgeous grape cardstock and the matching designer series paper (DSP) family packs.

measurements

  • Gorgeous Grape cardstock 9 x 6 inches, scored on the long side at 2, 3 1/2, 5 1/2 & 7 inches. Scored on the short side at 1 1/2 inches on either side.
  • Brights family pack DSP
    • 2 3/4 x 1 3/4 inches x 1
    • 2 3/4 x 1 1/4 inches x 1
    • 1 3/4 x 1 1/4 inches x 2

The Nine Lives stamp set is a two-step stamp set which allows you to stamp the cat with different markings. This is fabulous as all cats have such different and distinctive markings. If you are a dog person there is a set called Happy Tails also with a matching punch!!!

As usual, the video tutorial is below along with the supply list. My question for today is are you more a cat person or a dog person and why? Leave me a comment below.

Until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!!
