Happy MEOW-entines Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  Today I wanted to feature a couple more Valentine's Day cards that I created! When I colored the kitty for the card I shared last week (see post here), I had colored a few more images so I wanted to make them into cards as well. So I created a card layout I liked and used the same layout for all of my cards today. 

I started out by cutting a piece of ivory paper to 4" x 5.25" to fit just inside the gray card base. Then I stenciled over the paper using our Petite Hearts Stencil. I faded the stenciling along the bottom just by using less pressure as I applied the ink. 

Next, I stamped and embossed the image of a heart full of smaller patterned hearts from our Heartfelt Love Stamp Set. I inked over the image with pink ink and then cut it out using the Heart Frames Die Set. I then cut out a large scallop edged heart, also using the Heart Frames Die Set to layer behind it. Then I simply grabbed my previously colored kitty from the Smitten Kittens Stamp Set, cut him out using the coordinating  Smitten Kittens Die Set and popped him up over the hearts. So cute!

I decided he needed a valentine themed sentiment so I stamped the sentiment from our Newton's Valentine Stamp Set onto a speech bubble (cut out usign our Speech Bubbles Stamp Set) and placed it above his head. Isn't this adorable!? I added a bit of cream colored cotton twine to finish out the layout. 

I had another image colored from the same Smitten Kittens Stamp Set so I cut that image out as well using the Smitten Kittens Die Set and used the same process as above to make a second card. This one features the two kitties snuggling:
