Father's Day Series - Day 3

Happy Wednesday Bloggers,

Here is the latest and final card in the Father's Day Series.  This card was made for Lucy, my youngest feline-furbaby, to give to her Daddy.  She is his favorite and she is certainly a "Daddy's kitty."

I used the same color scheme with this card.  No buttons, but I did make a banner for the front of the card.  This is an easel card with a twist.  I folded this on an angle for added interest. 
Card front
This is an Easel fold card.  It is the typical A2 (4.25" x 5.5")
folded on an angle instead of the traditional potriat fold.



Another perspective

     Inside Purple mat cut @ 1" x 3.75"
     Inside Green mat cut @ 3.5" x 2.75"

Father's Day Series - Day 2

Happy Monday My Bloggie Friends,

Hope your weekend was fabulous.  It was bright and sunny here. 

Today I want to share the second card in the Father's Day Series.  This card will be from Zach, or I as affectionately call him "Bubbe."  He is pretty much a loner kitty.  Bubbe doesn't like to be picked up, doesn't like loud noises and always has something to say (he is not a 'meow-er', it is more like uuhh-uuhh). 

Card front
Bubbe is an orange/white tabby, just like Sophie.  He and Sophie actually have white markings in the same locations (i.e. widow's peak, chest, belly, etc.). 

Card front and partial of inside
I added the orange paper as one of the layers to make this different from Sophie's card (see post below).  I really like this cut from FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS.  Here are is the recipe for this card:
Size:  A2 (4.25" x 5.5")
     Orange mat cut @ 4" x 5.25"
     Purple mat cut @ 3.75" x  5"
     Green mat cut @ 3.5" x 4.75"
     Purple strip cut @ 1" x 5"
     Sentiment mat cut @ 1" x 2.5"
     Inside sentiment mat cut @ 2.75" x 3.75"
Cat:  FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS, Cat 2 and all layers cut @ 3.5"
Cardstock:  The Paper Company
Patterned Paper:  Flower Shower Spring Stack - DCWV
Font:  WALLOWHMK (Hallmark)
Accent:  Citrus Button (Favorite Findings)
Ink:  Rich Cocoa Momento (Tsukineko)
Fiber:  327-Dk Violet Floss (DMC)
Adhesives:  ATG (Scotch) and 2 Way Glue Pen Fine Tip (EK Success)
