Happy Thursday! I’m so excited about today’s Pink Cat Studio digi release!! Only 11 more days ’til Valentine’s Day so if you haven’t finished your cute cards yet, you might want to grab one of these. 😉 These digis of Itty Bitty Betty are so cute but aren’t limited to just Valentine’s Day. I see myself using them for birthdays, friendship cards, mini note cards and gift sets!
My first card features Betty pulling a wagon full of hearts. Isn’t this the cutest?! Well, of course it is! I could say that about all of Melissa’s images. I adore this wagon, especially in pink with all those hearts and the cute little bear with a heart patch!
This card also features washi tape and tissue tape! As far as I can tell, washi tape is quite a bit thicker, shinier and stickier than tissue tape but I love them both. I tore tiny pieces of three different patterns to create a path for Betty to walk on.
My second card features Betty holding a heart and uses the same three patterns of tape as a backdrop. I love that you can see the little cat’s face peeking out from behind her right leg! I may or may not have planned this. 😉
I rounded the bottom two corners before using a white gel pen to create faux stitching around the edges of this card. This is only the second time I’ve ever done it and should do it more often!
For my third card, I regrettably took an X-acto knife to the inside of the heart and cut out all the white sections. Seriously, the moment I started, I wish I hadn’t. LOL It’s not that I don’t like how it looks. I love it! It was a ton of work and I probably won’t do it again. Ya, right. 😉
I just love how cute Betty is on her heart swing! I used the same colour theme on all three cards which also feature sentiments from the Hero Arts set Sending Smiles Message.
Thanks for stopping by today! More inspiration can be found on the Pink Cat Studio Blog or the DT Blogs whose links are on my sidebar. Have a wonderful day!

Ack! Look at you, rocking the tapes! (Hmm, something looks familiar here!) I love all of these cards, and I can't believe your cutting work (YET AGAIN), and all those details just make me happy. Awesome job.
OH EMILY!
I think my favorite cards by you are the ones like this where you cut them out so perfectly and place them popped up over kraft! I JUST LOVE THEM! And when I saw all the work you put into that heart I can so appreciate it and YOU! You rock! Hugs…Cookie
Your clean design really makes those cute stamps shine! Simply adorable!
You made her Miss Adorable! Great work on all the cards… and the x-acto cutting was worth it!

So adorable, Emily! I think the torn tape path is a fun touch.

Possibly only you would cut the inside of that heart image… but you did it so perfectly! It's adorable. I'm equally in love with the faux stitching and the washi/tissue tape paths!
Your second card is my favorite! That little girl is darling!
Emily these cards are fantastic I love the two tapes especially when backed with Kraft!
Absolutely precious set of cards, Emily! The little pieces added to cardstock is such a whimsical touch… love it! BTW, I thought I was the fussy cutter but I think you have me beat! Great job on cutting out the heart! xx
These are absolutely adorable! I love that sweet image! She is a cutie pie! I love your faux stitching and your cut out heart. You will not likely see me try that one 😉 It is gorgeous though!

Hi Emily – these are beautiful cards! I think they will certainly cheer someone's day. I must go check it out.

I have to admit these kind of stamps are not my favourites but, given the Leiphart touch, they take on a real edginess. You are very talented.
