Late for the Party

      I hate to say it but the days got away from me these last couple of weeks and I was late getting a grandson's birthday card done and mailed on time.  I knew when I started this card that it was already too late to mail it and have it arrive on or before his birthday but I knew I had the perfect Penny Black stamp to make a "belated birthday" card.  What do you think?

     I colored with my Sanjoki markers, then cut the image with a CUTplorations stitched die.  That die is actually a rectangle, but I cut once, then adjusted the die, and cut a second time to make it square.  I added mats to the image and the sentiment so that they would stand out from the background CS.  I used my Linen embossing folder on the blue background.

     The 'ribbon' is actually dyed raffia and I shredded the ends after tying the knot.

Blame It on the Cat Nap !

     For the newest weekly challenge starting today at QKR Stampede, I made a card I needed for a belated birthday and used the funniest image - "Black Leaning Cat - ES1407" which is from our sister shop, Eureka Stamps.

     The sentiment is my own but is also my excuse for missing the actual birthday and having to send a belated card.  :-D


     Since this card is for a guy, I kept it pretty CAS.  The image is fussy cut (by hand) and the sentiment was printed and cut by hand, then matted and hand cut again. 

     I found the polka dot ribbon with the rainbow dots in my stash and used a scrap of red, polka dot, satin, ribbon to hand tie the little bow.  I added three metal beads to the top and the bottom and called it finished. 

     Inside it says, "I must have napped right through your birthday!"
