One of the products that Kingston Crafts sent me to work with was the Pet Kit which is just a gorgeous selection of papers, stickers, die cut elements and even some embellishment bits like twine and enamel dots.
It has launched in the UK today over at Hobbymaker.tv and so if you go and watch Martin’s show right now (8-9pm Sat 9th Nov) you might get to see this kit in action – and glimpse this page too!
My first thought was of course to scrap some pictures of Simba. He is our neighbours cat who chooses to come and visit us if we leave a door open and then usually just sleeps all day in our house!
Now normally he is so beautiful and elegant looking but these pics captured him pulling funny faces and it makes me giggle a lot so I decided they were good for this page.
I started with one of the solid coloured papers in the pack as the base and then added the cat silhouette paper, the paw print strip and the banner strip. I did rough up the edges a little of the paw strip and the top of the cart paper to give it some dimension before adding it to the page as a horizontal strip.
Next I die cut the grey ball themed paper with a circle die and chopped it in two so I could cluster at the top and the bottom of the page.
I then went through the stickers and added another circle I cut in half and the banner. I then selected from the die cut elements the two sleeping cats, some of the paw print elements, one heart and then the big Meow for the title.
I had printed the three pictures off as tall thin images onto one print and then added a layer of the blue to break up the background.
I added the title and then the paw print die cuts on foam adhesive to raise them up and then added in some twine as a bow to add some softer texture.
I decided to add the journalling on strips of the blue for a change and then added some heart stickers to finish off.
Love how easily this came together using the kit – everything was there and easy to put things together that coordinated!
Happy crafting!
