   Hello! Kathy Asper here, thrilled to return as a Guest DT at Gerda Steiner Designs, sharing my second card featuring the festive Furry and Bright stamp set.  

    Since I started stamping back in the '90's, I've loved using dspecialty folds can give handmade cards an additional “wow” factor and are often surprisingly easy to create. Easel cards are my favorites because recipients often display them long after the special occasion is past! (See my supplies list for links to a few of my favorite blogs that offer tutorials for this fold, and many others.)

   I used patterned papers and gemstone stickers (hearts and stars) from my scrapbook stash, to add additional colors, textures, and a bit o’ bling to my card!

    All three sentiments on the card (the "punny" one on the front, and both on the inside) are from the Furry and Bright stamp set. 

Supplies: 

·   Kitty image and sentiments are all from Gerda Steiner Designs stamp set Furry and Bright 

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel

·   My favorite tutorials for Easel Cards (and many other folds) can be found at Beccy’s Place 

    and the Butterfly Challenge.

·   All other items from my stash.
