Sitting Cat Marci Kit Projects

These projects are from the September 2014 Monthly La-la Land Crafts kit. You can also join the monthly stamp and die club here.  These items from the kit are now available in the La-la Land Craft store found here. There are great instructions to complete the projects. Stamp sets Sitting Cat Rubber Stamp, Haystack, and Pumpkins along with Boo! Banner, Broken Fence, and Fall Leaves die sets are included in this kit as well as the papers. There are three projects: a decorated bag, a card, and a pumpkin hanging.  The 3 projects shown below. 

A closer look at how each Sitting Cat Marci is colored using Copic pens. Colors and technique to achieve the "cat-like fur" look used are on the kit instructions.

On the Brown Bag project top right corner a Boo! Banner die cut in decorative paper. The paper clip is decorated with paper with a paper craft bat.

Beneath the Boo! Banner glittered gathered tulle is positioned across the bag. Add black ribbon on top of the tulle, then tie a bow, die Fall Leaves die, a paper board button (included in the kit).

In the bottom right corner: more Autumn leaves, some paper flowers. See the paper doily peeking out underneath with more leaves which are all sponged with some brown ink.

Card project: finished card size is 6 x 6. There's a lot going on in this card. Can you see the acetate printed web on top of the dot decorative paper mat? There is also a die cut circle (orange and black) behind Sitting Cat Marci.  Those paper board bats are popped with foam squares. All the cut pieces are lightly sponged with brown ink.

Sitting Cat Marci on top of the Copic colored pumpkins (stamps included in the monthly club).She is popped with foam squares. One of the pumpkins is also popped with foam squares.

The Boo! Banner is die cut twice (black and orange) and only attached at the top so the flag part of the banner is curled up.

On the right and left side of the card are Broken Fence dies cut in Kraft paper - add  drops using a Viva Brown Pearl pen as shown.

 

Card inside: the autumn moon with a Fall Leaf and a paper board bat

This pumpkin hanging is made from pre-cut paper board.  Top pumpkin finished size is 5-3/4" x 5". The smaller pumpkin is 3" x3". All pieces are edges using brown ink.

A clear look at the larger pumpkin:

The smaller pumpkin:

Tied raffia with a paper board button decorate the top right side of the top pumpkin. This sits on top Autumn Leaves.

On the right and left the Broken Fence die is used as well as the Viva Brown Pearl Pen here, too. The two small stamped pumpkins are popped with foam squares.
