Welcome!

My name, Karin, was pretty common when I was growing up...just not the spelling. Unless you are of German heritage like I am. So, I have spent my entire life answering the question, "What is your name"?... With, "Karin...with an "i"! Who knew it would come in handy all these years later when I went to name my blog.

Kitty trio

Hi Everyone,

I made this birthday card with my niece in mind.  She's definitely a cat lover and with her birthday coming up in the beginning of May I knew I wanted to use the cute Happy Cat Sitting stamp from DRS Designs to make her a card.  

I paired the image stamp with the Purrfectly Birthday Greeting by stamping it on the front of the the card panel.  After embossing it with a paw print embossing folder, I took my 1 1/4" punch and punched out 3 peek holes for the kitty cats.  I stamped the kitty three times and used a 1 3/4" punch to punch them out, positioning them behind the openings, changing up the directions they were looking out.  
 
  
 
 
Using a larger scallop and circle punch, I made some frames for the openings to give the card a more finished look, adding a bit of ribbon and a punched mini heart for embellishment.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your day is Purr-fectly wonderful too!
Karin

Karin, you don't know me - but I follow your blog -
You don't know how much I needed this card/design...one of our two cats (13 year old litter mates) died on Sunday and to say my heart is broken doesn't even describe how I feel. So anyone, your card made a huge impact on me - thank you.
