Why I Love Fluffles...


Fluffles is my hero. I adore Fluffles and would own most of the Fluffles stamps if I did not have to work on a budget. This is my only Fluffles holiday stamp and I love it. Being a cat owner, I was terrified the first Christmas that I took Book home and she saw a Christmas tree. Luckily she had no interest in it or in playing with ornaments that were not hanging right at kitty nose level.

I found this layout in the Beautiful Cards... to make and send with love magazine from 2007 (issue 18, p. 42) and I had to use it. The original is by Katina Killey. I replaced the original cat image with Fluffles and chose to cut out an extra fluffles and star to give it a little more dimension. I coloured the image with my Staedler fineliner markers, then went over the ornaments and star with my Stardust pen. The red ornaments got covered over with a red glaze pen also for a bit more dimension.

I finished things off with MM ornament brads, a black pen, and some ribbon. And voila!

The card forms an A shape when it is standing, the back part wider than the front and just in plain white.

More cards to come soon!
Enjoy the weekend!

Hi Kira,
Have just been browsing on the web and found your blog. I was amazed to see my name here! So glad you liked the layout.
