Each lucky member of the Stampendous Design Team was sent two Curio stamps to create beautiful samples for you!  I received these amazing stamps:

 Then the fun began! Stamping and coloring (my favorite step):

Cut him out, or use the matching die from the Laurel Burch Dog Park Die Set (LBDCS04) to die cut the image. Edge with the 100 marker for a crisp edge.

Hmmm...picking papers and layouts:

Still needs a little something...

Some gold metallic thread criss-crossed on the top layer adds some interest!

Finished product! (The Curio LB Cat seems to like photo bombing! LOL)

Curio Cat!

What's a Curio Cat you ask? Just the cutest chunky stamp you've ever seen!  This adorable stamp from the Laurel Burch line at Stampendous was part of the January 2018 catalog release and Curios are the perfect addition to your craft room decor when you finish your project!

Each lucky member of the Stampendous Design Team was sent two Curio stamps to create beautiful samples for you!  I received these amazing stamps:

 Then the fun began! Stamping and coloring (my favorite step):

Cut out by hand or use the matching die from LBDCS02 LB Indigo Cats Die Set

Next you need to pick out some great papers. I know a lot of people pick their paper first, then color their image to match, but I find the image seems to tell me what colors to use, then I figure out the matching papers!

Before you know it, you have a fun, colorful card!
