Kitties!

These are images that use Posh Impressions frame stamps. Over at Club Posh, they have Member Galleries. They have a section where members can submit pictures of their pets...but they MUST be in a Posh Impressions frame! These frame stamps are so cool, and have so many uses. I can't wait to get more of them!

These are not folded cards...these are simply panels mounted onto black cardstock. They measure about 5 3/4" wide by 5 1/4" high. These would be perfect for a 6 x 6 scrapbook, which is probably what I will do with them.

These were all basically made the same way...the background was stamped on the white/cream panels, and the frames were stamped on separate pieces of cardstock and cut out. A craft knife was used to cut out the inside of the frame...be sure to use a cutting mat for this so you don't ruin your table.

For the newspaper stamp, I first computer-generated the headline (Squeaker Wins Cute Contest) and printed it out onto the cardstock. I used a stamp positioner to make sure that it was lined up just as I wanted it to be.

The photos were cropped to fit inside the frames, and then glued to the background. For Junior and Mitty, finishing touches were stamped flowers that were cut out and glued in place. For Squeaker, I just stamped *CUTENESS*. Finally, the panels were matted onto black cardstock.

All stamps are from Posh Impressions, except for the cat face background on the Squeaker card (Stampendous) and the alphabet letters (Close To My Heart).

Since I have five other cats, look for more of these very soon!
