It's a Cat's & Dog's Life - Part 1

Today's cards are my first from a Hunkydory Pop-a-Topper set called "It's a Cat's & Dog's Life".  There are three of each 6" x 6" sheet of toppers in the set - making it perfect to share with my Mom & SIL when they come to paper craft with me! 

Card #1 (above): Except for the toppers & associate greetings &/or borders, everything is from my stash.  In this case, I found the red glitter card stock & the black & white pattern in my scraps.  I added a border using a strip of black paper & a silver ribbon, and finished the front with a sequin & paper "snaps" that a friend gave me.

Inside:

Inside is more of the black paper & silver ribbon & another small die cut from the topper set.  The greetings were stamped with black ink (from HOTP sets - Birthday Cheer & Birthday Greetings).

Card #2:

This card is an interlocking gate-fold card.  In addition to the die cuts from the set, I have red glimmer paper for the background & strips of silver poster board for borders.

Inside:

Inside is more paper from my stash & another little die cut from the set.

Card #3:

The 2nd card finished up the die cuts from one page, so I started another - kittens this time.  The background for this card was a brown glimmer paper from my stash, embossed with an M-bossabilities folder (Spellbinders - 5x7 Imperial).  As you can see, I rounded the corners of the card & of the mats I created from gray scraps & gold metallic poster board.

Inside:

Scraps of the papers used on the front form the backdrop for the small die cut on the inside.
