You’re Purrfect
by Lisa Elton
Happy Spring Poppy friends! Everything is waking up in my neck of the woods. The grass is green once again, the budding trees are filled with birds, the tulips are popping open and we’ve even had a thunderstorm or two. I tried to reflect a bit of that on my card today.
There’s a pretty little gray cat who’s been roaming around our neighborhood lately. He tucks himself in here and there just watching. He’s even been known to squeeze under our fence to investigate our backyard. He’s making an appearance on my card today in the form of the Whittle Purring Cat. I added a bit of pink to his nose with a Copic marker and placed him on a portion of one of the Fern and Daisy Pop Up Easel dies.
I’ve surrounded him with Layered Tulips, butterflies (also from the Fern and Daisy Pop Up Easel set) and a good sprinkling of Fairy Jewels. There are so many pretty flowers in the Poppystamps shop that would let you recreate this card for any season! My sentiment, from the Whittle Adorable Kitty Kit, was stamped on a Word Balloon die cut. This is a great set to add to your stash for sentiments. The elongated shapes are fun!
It’s Simple, it’s sweet and I think it reflects the gray rainy days of April splashed with the bright happy colors of spring! Thanks so much for visiting, we love it when you do!

It’s a fun and perfect card for all the reasons you tried to emulate! Cute kitty, and he seems to be so happy!
Purrrrrrrfect card Lisa! Loving all the bright and bold color surrounding your gray kitty…just too CUTE!! Hugs. :0)
Just look at that little pink nose! What a stunning card – a beautiful design and amazing colour palette too, Jo x
Absolutely purrrfect! Grey and yellow all day long – and my next kitten will be all smoky grey like this one! Such a darling card, Lisa!

Hi Lisa, This card is fabulous !! I love the kitty, and it’s all black just like my Lizzie, the yellow tulips are gorgeous, they look such happy flowers. I love your colours and also your composition.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Your kitty reminds me of our resident cat Phoebe. She comes down every morning to make sure we’re still here. Such a cute and colorful card, Lisa.
I just used that full pop-up set today, Lisa – thanks for the inspiration just using 1/2 of the leafy layer; great look! Love the sweet kitty among the flowers too!!
Love this sweet and very happy kitty tucked into the yellow tulips and fluttering butterflies!
Love the purrfect little scene you created on this super sweet card, Lisa!
Lisa, your card is adorable! I love how you’ve used the elements from the easel set without making an easel card. Your tulips are beautiful in yellow and, of course, your gray kitty is precious. We have lots of kitty visitors to our yard and Sophie gets so excited to be friends.
Oh how I love gray and yellow together and the addition of lime green is absolutely perfect. Love this bright and happy card!
You’re a genius at putting elements together, Lisa! And love how your card reflects your world right now! The kitty is darling and I adore the layered tulips!
