It's Cat Day at PET-aloo
Petaloo is celebrating pet days. It's part of their nature after all...being a company named for pets... PET-aloo. There are prizes that can be won for participating so check it out at Petaloo's blog right here.
Yesterday I posted my dog cards. Today the cats get their day in the spotlight. I had to separate the two because if I didn't, I'd have tails and fur a'flyin. Let's just say my cats aren't the best at sharing space with dogs.
You can find the dog post right here, complete with a quick step-by-step for one of the dog cards.
You can also find some of the cat and dog card sets available in my ETSY shop right here. The cat cards are here.
This is a pop-up card I created for my husband. I added gorgeous Petaloo flowers to the front of the card but left the inside unadorned because I wanted it to close flatly to surprise him. This is the first pop-up card I have made so he was most certainly surprised.
The front of this card features the
Petaloo Botanica Collection - Chantilly Mixed Blooms - Mauve. Aren't they just spectacular?
I used a super old collection for this card - My Minds Eye - Lost & Found Collection.

And look at all these darlin's staring at you.
Here is my next card.
This card features a new flower -Fairy Blossom Branch (code 5016-101). They are sweet delicate velvet flowers with a little sparkle to them. Look for them to ship soon!
I also used the Petaloo Textured Elements - Briar Rose Canvas in Red though I chose a flower with a bit more pink from the package.
This is my next card. Sweet and simple. I let the Petaloo flowers and cat silhouettes stand out on this card. The cat silhouettes were made using the Tim Holtz -Crazy Cats and Dogs dies and accompanying stamps.
I punched some cats out and really loved the negative space creating a delightful silhouette.
The soft Petaloo flowers on this card include the newly released -Fairy Blossom Branch (code 5016-101), the green flowers from the package of Petaloo Chantilly Hydrangea in Red and some delicate Petaloo lace trim, Petaloo Crochet Lace Fancy Trim -White .
I used the Petaloo Crochet Lace Fancy Trim -White as a border strip.
This is the last card and a simple but graphically fun card. It's a shaker card with washi tape used as a background. This card also has the Petaloo Crochet Lace Fancy Trim used as a border.
I decided to use some of Petaloo's Jeweled Florettes in pastel colors - they are flat flowers that resemble the flowers on the patterned paper.
I felt the shaker card was bulky enough to send through the mail - the flat flowers were a great alternative and still added a bedazzled element to the card.

Even more fun? This set of 3 crazy cat cards are available in my ETSY shop. See the listing here.
These are just purrrfect for the crazy cat lover, like myself....or to say hello, wish someone a great day, or even sadly to send condolences when someone loses a beloved amazing furbaby.
Those pet condolence cards can be hard to find and yet so very necessary to send at times.
Look for the new releases like the Fairy Blossom Branch (code 5016-101) I shared on the blue kitty "I Love You" card in this post.
