Greetings! I am definitely a dog AND a cat person, so seeing the new “Kitty Kiss” stamp from Stampendous really made me smile. I decided to make a shaker card using the warm “Pumpkin Spice” Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground. My full instructions are below. I am entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, which is “All Loved Up.”
Supplies:
Stampendous:
Q251: Kitty Kiss
CRS5111: Kitten Hugs Stamp and Stencil Set
DCP1005: Fitted Frame Set A
Other:
Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock
Tombow Dual Brush Markers: 772, 930, 990, 992, N95
Doodles Paper Playground: Pumpkin Spice Sparkle Blend
Imagine: VersaFine Clair Ink in Nocturne, VersaFine Ink in Vintage Sepia
Ranger: Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Brutus Monroe: Foam Tape
Graphic 45: Mind Over Matter cardstock #4501168
Acetate
Blending Brush
Directions:
1. Stamp Kitty Kiss using VersaFine Clair Ink in Nocturne.
2. Color the stamped image using the Tombow markers listed.
3. Cut the colored image out.
4. On a piece of 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ of Desert Storm cardstock, apply Vintage Photo Distress Ink though the paw print stencil from the Kitten Hugs stamp set.
5. Die cut a window on the stenciled background using the Large “E” Fitted Frame.
6. Stamp the sentiment using VersaFine Vintage Sepia. The sentiment is from the Kitten Hugs set.
7. Lightly ink the edges of the stenciled background using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a Mini Ink Blending Tool.
8. Apply foam tape to the back of the stenciled background, being sure to have the foam seal around the die cut window to prevent sequins from spilling out.
9. Cut a piece of Graphic 45’s Mind Over Matter cardstock to slightly larger than the die cut window.
10. Fill the window with the Pumpkin Spice Sparkle Blend.
11. Peel off foam tape backing and attach the piece of Mind Over Matter cardstock to the back of the window to seal it.
12. Create the card base out of cream colored cardstock, cut to 4 1/4″ x 11.”
13. Adhere the shaker panel to the card base.
I wish my cat and dogs got along this well! My cat is not a fan of hanging out with the dogs, so he usually keeps to himself. Maybe someday… Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
Awesome post! Keep up the great work! 🙂
Super adorable, Alison!! Sharing today on the blog. Thank you so much for your great talent and for sharing it with Stampendous!!
Such a sweet card!
Thanks so much for sharing…
Do love that adorable ‘Kitty Kiss’ stamp and the wonderful shaker card you created! Very special!
Absolutely adorable card!
Sweet card! Love the image and the way you colored the cute pup and kitty! Pretty sparkle blend in the shaker too!
What a DARLING Little shaker! I love the kitty and puppy LOVE
Oh my goodness, that is such a cute card.
Our beagle named Monster was bilingual. He loved to bark at our neighbor’s cats when they walked across our yard. We were shocked to find out that Monster understood Spanish when my mom told me that she didn’t want Monster to know the “gato” was in the yard because he would then bark and she could not hear her tv show. Well, he understood “gato” and barked anyway. ha-ha
Oh this is soooo precious!!! Love that darling image and your card design is fantastic. What a purrrrrrrfect card ♥♥
What a great shaker card. The kitten and puppy are so cute together!
This is so sweet. My old man cat & big girl dog use to the same thing. The shaker accent is perfect. Just the right size that enhances the card but doesn’t take away from the focal stamp.
This card is adorable. It reminds me of when my daughter’s cats met my schnauzer.
This is very sweet!
Super cute card, Alison. Love the coloring.
Your shaker card is darling. My dog and cat were best friends and kissed each other all the time. 🙂
Hi Alison, this is really adorable! I love that it’s a shaker – my fave! And I really love the subtle background of paws. And of course, the image is darling. Love how you colored the critters.
Sooooooooo adorable! Fabulous coloring on this super-sweet image. Love the shaker feature that really accents the furry pair.

cute dog and cat card. I like the shaker and the paw print background.
This is just such a sweet image and the shaker element adds to the fun!
You colored these cuties so perfectly and that little kitty and puppy duo have my heart. I love the shaker design too, and paw print background.
Monster was our beagle. He was meant for my mom, but I ended up being mama. He was very smart. When we would get home from Goodwill, he would smell our bags because he knew that we would buy him bouncy balls. He loved to eat Mexican rice, spaghetti, and beans. Oh, and he loved pancakes, too. I miss my little boy. He is never forgotten.
Monster was also bilingual. He knew that “kitty” and “gato” meant the same thing.
