After I shared a sneak peek of the Stampin’ Up! Cat Punch and a Halloween card here, I decided to come up with a non-Halloween spin to show the punch’s versatility. Today’s friend card is a universal way to use the punched kitty as a simple silhouette. The Cat Punch will be available Sept. 1. Here’s a handy wish list to print and track your holiday catalog favorites.
I love hearing from you! Please leave me your questions or comments about the project for today.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- The combination of Very Vanilla, Basic Black and Sweet Sugarplum is soft and modern.
- The black cat was punched using the Cat Punch (available Sept. 1) and popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- I snipped “friend” from one of the Lovely Friends Thinlits Dies. It’s adhered to the cat and a thin piece of Stampin’ Dimensional props up the “f.” I just love how the “d” blends into the tail.
- A Must-Have. Stampin’ Up! Layering Ovals Framelits Dies make quick work out of layering the Very Vanilla oval over the coordinating Sweet Sugarplum scallop oval.
- The Perfect Touch. One of the new Black Rhinestone Jewels (available Sept. 1) dots the “for a great” sentiment. Basic Black Solid Baker’s Twine pulls the look together.
- The envelope flap was stamped with a fun image from Lovely Inside & Out stamp set. Purchase the dies and stamp set as a bundle and save 10%.
