Twofer Card Challenge #4 - Pets

Hi Stamplings!

There is no point in having a cup of coffee with you today because a certain little furball is beyond becited for me to show you the cards we made for the new challenge at Twofer Card Challenge where the prompt word is PETS!

I'm sure this comes as no surprise to you ...
The coordinating stamp and die I used is from "Hammie Coffee and Tea" from Your Next Stamp. It might look like I used two different hamsters from the set, but no, I used the same one, honest. The stamp artist gave him two deliriously happy closed eyes (as one does when eating a cookie!) and I covered them with googly eyes for the Christmas card, where I also covered the cookie with a Christmas light bulb.

Here are the individual cards:

Other than Hammy and the "Happy Birthday" sediment, all the fun elements on this birthday card are from a NBUS Technique Tuesday set. I'm sorry you can't see all the winking and gloss on those bright red old-fashioned whisk handles and blender parts, but I think you can see the schparkle on the Mix Things Up sediment.

Next to helping out in the Playhouse, Hammy loves helping out in the kitchen best, especially when he gets to pick the schprinkles for the cookies!

Here Hammy is showcased in the center of an MFT Peek-a-Boo die. I'm not gonna lie, he is loving the limelight ... er, the orange light! The string of Christmas lights and the sediment are also from Your Next Stamp. Just like the birthday card, both strings of light are winked and glossified.

Here is a close-up of the larger string which was embossed in platinum:

I hope you like the PETS prompt and you'll play along with us at Twofer Card Challenge #4! It's a rare household that doesn't have or hasn't had a pet of some kind! (Husbands don't count even if you do call him "Pet!" 😄)

I would love it if you shared a photo of your pet in your post! Of course, I had to share mine or there would be no living with him!!

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower! Please let me know you came by so I can be sure and return the flavor!
