Waiting for Santa

Hi there!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards.  This is my last post for Miss Kate Cuttables.  After two and a half years of enjoying being a design team member for Miss Kate, I have decided to step down.  But I will still be sure to continue to get my Freebie of the Day and I encourage you to do the same.
And I'll see you on the Galleria as I will definitely be following to see what the design team and you fans create each month.

For my card today, I used several Miss Kate SVG files; Waiting for Santa and Dog as well as various patterned papers from the Winter Woodland Digital Collection.  As you can see, this cute little pup is waiting for Santa to come to fill his stocking with lots of goodies.

I wanted to turn this into an easel card, so I cut the base to accommodate I thought it would be fun to put a battery operated tealight candle behind the fire, so I cut a piece of vellum to fit.  As the area above the mantle looked a bit sparse, I filled a gold bowl with Poinsettia brads from Eyelet Outlet and added a candle embellishment on the right accented with another EO brad, Holly.

Here's another look from the side.  I didn't take a picture of it, but if you know about easel cards, you know this lies flat for mailing...such a cool idea!

I couldn't get the best picture of it, though I took dozens, here's the card with the tealight behind it.

As this is the end of an era, so to speak.  I took a trip down memory lane, looking at all the cards I've made using Miss Kate's files.  Some are among my favorites.  Here's a link if you want to look, too.

Who's a good boy?

Hi everyone, it's Sherri with today's post.

Today I made a one page layout for my doggie.  I used the pre-made die cuts from Miss Kate Cuttables which unfortunately you can't get anymore, but you can download the files from the store to manipulate for yourself.  Here is the file I used for my title ~

Here's my doggie layout ~

Sorry for the glare on the picture, the paper is slick and no matter which way I tried to shoot it it either got too dark or too bright <arrrgghhh>

Thanks for stopping by today.  I'd love it if you'd stop on over to my blog at The Squeaky Scrapper and say hello. 

Dog Gone Cute

Hi there ~  It's Sherri from The Squeaky Scrapper with today's inspiration.

Don't forget your weekly freebie file here ~ Here!.

I have been playing with the prepackaged die cuts lately and really love them, especially when my machine is acting up!  If you're not familiar with them, they are colored die cuts all you need is tape and you're good to go.  You get about 30 pieces in each package, all different sizes. Also, Miss Kate Designs started doing 12x12 paper to match her die cuts and I am in LOVE with the paper.  

My project today uses both the pre made die cuts and the new 12x12 paper.

The die cut package is called "Dog Gone Cute", and the paper is also called "Dog Gone Cute" 

My project ~

If you'd like more information on how I created this layout, stop on over to my blog at The Squeaky Scrapper and say hello.
