Guest Designer at Twofer Card Challenge

I’m so happy to be guest designer for Twofer Card Challenge and I’ve made two cards for the theme of pets. The cards need to be for different occasions and with different designs, and you’ll need to use the same image or die for both cards. You can read more about the rules here. I used the same cat image, one from Penny Black. For the birthday card I kept the whole image and added an extra layer on the flowers, for my Christmas version I fussy cut the cat.

Card 1 -  Birthday Card (to the left)
I cut the image with a tag die and added lace and string.  I added a piece of washi tape, some flowers and staped a few paw prints. This card is also for:
Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Anything Goes / Spring Flowers
4 Crafty Chicks - #397 Flowers

Card 2 - Christmas Card (to the right)
I made the background using a stamp from Tim Holtz and an embossing folder with falling snow. A few die cuts, along with some sequins and a sticker sentiment. This card is also for:
Get Creative Challenges - #68 NO PATTERN PAPER
The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge - #26 Anything Goes

    Thank you for being our wonderful Guest Designer for this month, Pia!! I adore both your designs using that cute kitty cat! Your tag card is filled with wonderful feminine details with the lace and flowers and I love how you added the Washi tape and paw prints! And your Christmas card is divine with that scene you created and the falling snow! I especially love how you did your holly corner display!! Hugs, Darnell

    Congratulations on your well-deserved Guest Designer spot! Two-fer is lucky to have you! Another terrific two-fer here: that cat is perfectly at home on both cards. I really like the clean and fresh look of the birthday card, and the scene on the holiday card is just wonderful and original! You always inspire.

    Congratulations on the guest spot! And, I love the twofers you made too! We have mostly cats or a dog for pets in our house so I am sure I will be trying to see if I can join in with a Twofer too. I love the cute image you used for yours.
