Pals Blog Hop: Our Favorite Tools

blog hop

Thank you for joining us for the September Pals Blog Hop. This month we are showcasing projects made with the Stampin' Up! tools we love. 

You should have just left stop number 18 on the Pals Hop – Debbie Crowley at expressivelydeb.  If so, you are in the right spot.  If you get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

All of my friends and family, including my co-workers… know first hand how crazy I am for Hello Kitty.  I've seen so many Hello Kitty cards that I think I racked my brain for weeks trying to figure out which punches I could use to re-create this beautiful kitty… LoL.

I finally found the cat's meow… with three punches that you may already have.  They are the Owl, 1" Circle, and Word Window punches.  You too can make this sweet popular feline that has never stopped being popular since I was an early teen.

Make sure that the whiskers are in line with the eyes and nose.  I've created a step by step PDF instruction sheet to help you.  I hope it helps you put together your own Hello Kitty.  Please feel free to share with anyone you want.

The next stop is Martie Pollard at The Crafty Bandit, stop number 20 on the Pals Blog Hop!  Thanks for visiting – and I hope to see you next month!

    Well, that’s thinking out-of-the-box Maggie. I just had to smile when I saw this Hello Kitty card. I didn’t think I would be able to smile today. I am selling my Mom’s house this morning. I didn’t sleep well and I dump my oatmeal all over the microwave first thing this morning. Yuck! So, your card, your talent and the PAL’s blog hop is the highlight of my day! Thanks so much for sharing and for the instructions to make you Hello Kitty card. So cute!
