Cat Nap - and another Dreamy Treat opportunity

I'm getting a strong message that everyone wants to win the JustRite Stamper! :-) Well here is another chance to register to win. Only one comment per post from now through Saturday. The winner will be announced Sunday evening. On this post, please tell me how you found the Dreamy Treat opportunity, and what is your favorite accessory for the JustRite stamper.

Did you know that we have a card gallery on the store's website? One section is just for JustRite Projects . Be sure to check it out!

Some of the NEW JUSTRITE PRODUCTS are in the store NOW! The rest of the new products arrived in their warehouse today and they have already started shipping them. I am crossing my fingers that they will be here Friday evening. I also ordered more of the JustRite stampers and some more accessories...so let's hope they arrive on Friday as well.

Don't miss the rest of the Dream Team's JustRite creations this week:

Charmaine - Wednesday 9/10

Kurtis - Thursday 9/11

Laurie Friday 9/12

Tosh Saturday 9/13

Now...is that what you came here for? Or did you really want to see a card? LOL! This stamp is from one of my favorite stamp companies, the Artful Stamper . Their images are just adorable, and they are sooooo much fun to color. The name of this stamp is Cat Nap .
I stamped it on watercolor paper using VersaMark Ink and embossed with JudiKins Detail Gold embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow (water based) markers. I used a damp paintbrush for blending and shading.
I stamped again on watercolor paper and cut out the head and holly so I could pop them up for dimension. You can see the dimension in the last photo.

The white part of the Santa Hat is White Liquid Applique sprinkled with Art Institute Crystal glitter. (I will have the glitter in the store soon.)

Gosh, I didn't mean for this post to be so long...but I had a lot to tell you!

Thanks so much for stopping by...and don't forget to register for the Dreamy Treat! Someone is going to win, and it could be you!

What an adorable card, Michelle!

Cheryl said...

Well Michelle, I have you in my google reader so I don't miss a post and that is how I found out about your dreamy treat. As for the JR accessory--I don't have a stamper so don't have any accessories yet so can't tell you that. Maybe that will change when I win. LOL!!
Love your card.

Michelle, this is so sweet! Oh I love it! OK, I'm quite the animal nut anyway but this is really sweet! Love all the detail!

Well isn't that the most adorable looking kitty and stamp? You've outdone yourself my dear. The cat looks just like my little girl's "late" kitty that just passed away 2 days ago. We're heartbroken but your card has lifted me. Thank you.

I think the small letter set seems to be the way many stampers are getting some MAJOR mileage out of their JustRite Monogram stampers... I found the "Dreamy Treat" through the JustRite blog. Thanks!

Kerry Johnson said...

Love your card with all that liquid applique - so cute! I found you through you! I don't have a JustRite so don't know about accessories. Thanks for the chance to win!!

Charmaine said...

I found you through the Just Rite blog. I love all the different borders you can use...you can make so many different looks with one monogram.

I first saw the dreamy treat offer on Amy's blog, but I also subscribe to yours and Cammie's. So I'm triple informed. Thanks so much at the chance to win. And yes, I visit everyday to see your cards. I miss you when you don't post.

I have your site on my Google Reader! I love your watercoloring! The Damask borders are gorgeous for the JustRite stamps - they add such a special touch for monograms!

I found the Dreamy Treat because I subscribe to your blog and to your DT's blogs! I don;t have a JR Stamper so I don't havae a favorite accessory. Hopefully that will change :o)

I found you originally through Cammie's blog, but now I have you bookmarked on my computer! I don't really know what accessories are available for the stamper, as I never even seen one in person, so, needless to say, i don't really know exactly how it works. Maybe I'll win one soon!!!!! :)

I learned about this great contest from my email subscription to Just Rite Stampers. I would have to say the small type is probably my favorite - it really stretches the use of the monogram stamper.

As for the Dreamy Treat, I don't have a JustRite Stamper YET *grin* but it appears that it has a DIY facet to it that would make it incredibly versatile, which I would ~love~!! I heard about your blog from Laurie Schmidlin's blog, which I subscribe to. But now I am subscribed to you both :) Lucky me :) Love ya'all's eye candy!! :) And what a ~pretty kitty~! ;) ~Sheila

Linda Carson said...

Adorable card! I subscribe to your blog is how I learned of your prize. I think the different fonts would be my favorite accessory.

Your coloring on this card is gorgeous! The red is such a rich tone. Thanks so much for offering the JR stamper. I'd love to win it.

JoAnn said...

Hi
I subscribe to your blog....never miss a card. I dont have any just rite stamps yet....but maybe this is my LUCKY comment !!! Thanks

Janet said...

I love your card. I think the white liquid applique with glitter just tops the whole card off. It is also a nice change to see it embossed with the gold. Nice! Oh and thanks for a chance to win the JustRite stamp set.

Sandi said...

I found the treat from the Just Rite email. I love Just Rite monograms and would love to own some accessories. I am looking to buy a new font.

jeneaevan said...

I found out through the JustRite email. I love the damask borders kit!

Jessica said...

What a cute card! I need to try that liquid applique stuff.

I found your blog through the JustRite blog. And I think the best accessory is the 10 Designer Centers & Borders. It's just so versatile!

Anonymous said...

I subscribe to your blog so I won't miss anything. The 2-sided 2-color ink pad seems to me to be the most versatile accessory. It is reasonably priced and gives you several color choice options.
Thank you for giving away the JustRite Stamper, and I hope I win.

Hi - thank you so much for the chance to win this amazing blog candy. I'm subscribed to your blog, so I heard about it from you, and also from some other blogs I'm subscribed to - namely Amy,Charmaine, Kurtis, Laurie and Tosh! I don't have any JustRite products so I don't have a favorite as such, but I do love the look of the borders . . .

I found out about the Dreamy Treat opportunity from the JustRite blog. woo hoo

I don't know which one will be my favorite as I just ordered the large monogram stamper yesterday with some accessories. I ordered the medium/large number set, the small letter set, and the Special Occasions Font w/3 borders.

I can't wait to play with them!

Val said...

What a cute card! It's hard to believe that the holiday season will be here soon! I found the Dreamy Treat "chance to win" from your blog. My favourite accessory for the JustRite stamper (if I had one) would be the Special Occasion Font and Border kit.

Him, found your contest from Stamin Kub's site. I don't have any of your stamps yet, so don't know what accessory I would prefer. I would love to have the chance to try them out.

I am having trouble leaving a comment. I have tried about 5 times and I hope I am not leaving 5 comments. Anyway, I came over yesterday from Just Give Me Stamps blog. I don't hae a favorite but maybe the little letters would be great. I think the kitten card is adorable. Kathy

Our cat loves to curl up in and under any blanket, sweatshirt or open pillowcase that she can get into! LOL
Love the card... beautiful work. TFS!

I love the Special Occasions Kit! I would love to win the blog candy, especially after dealing with IKE! Yikes! I saw the info about the blog candy on the Stamper's Dream website.

I think I found you through Sharon Johnson. I love ordering things from you. I love everything I have purchased from the JustRite Line - I can't pick just one thing. There are a lot more items I want to add to my collection. Your card made withn the cat nap stamp is so cute. I have been hooked on Penny Black's cute stamps but will have to check out the Artful Stamper line.

Elaine M said...

I originally found you through another's blog -- now you're on my list and I check your blog out all the time knowing I'll find something wonderful

I really like the Damask Monogram -- It just looks so "dressy"

Nancy Jensen said...

Such an adorable card! I have pictures of my cat with a santa hat on... he has kind of a "get this thing off me or I'm coming after you" look - not so much the "aren't I cute" look that the can on the stamp has. LOL Cats are fun, aren't they?

Amy said...

Ahh, what a cutie! She's absolutely irresistible! Thanks for sharing the great inspiration and giving us another shot and the fun blog candy! Oh yeah, I forgot what you actually asked...I have your blog in my reader so I read your posts every day.

I am so sorry, I was laughing so hard about the post about your date preparations and thoughts that I forgot to tell you how wonderful I think your card is with the pinecones. It's awesome!
