As soon as I saw the Pampered Pets stamp set, dies and dsp I knew I just had to have them. I hadn't a clue what I was going to do with them or what sort of cards I would make with them. I have to say I haven't worked a stamp set so hard since Cambridge Carols came out a couple of years ago.To make the card above. Using my pc I printed off the sentiment and cut the card down to 3 3/4 of an inch by 5 1/2 inches. I cut a piece of dsp and adhered it to the lower portion and added an 1/8th of an inch strip of red card to finish the background. I then stuck the background onto the red card base. I stamped, coloured and die cut the cat and stuck him on the card with foam pads. As a finishing touch, I added a small bow to the cats neck.
If you are not familiar with the Pampered Pets stamp set, I have to say that to create this image, I had to do some mirror stamping to reverse the image as the cat stamp is a single image.
To mirror stamp you need a silicone mat and a stamping platform. You stamp the image onto the silicone mat , carefully place the card on top of the stamped image and close the platform and press gently. It's advisable to let the card stock sit for about 15 seconds to give the card enough time to soak up the ink
I used the DSP on this 6x6 card for some extra colour and interest.
