And yet another card for the Cat Lovers Blog Hop! As most of you know I adore cats and I seem to collect cat stamps almost as easily as I collect actual cats (truthfully, if I had as many real cats as I do cat themed stamp sets I'd go out of my mind - I honestly don't know how people with children get anything done! Between feeding, scooping, loving, breaking up spats, brushing and attempting to cut nails I can barely get anything done. Parents you have my utmost respect!) Anyway, I think these little cats from My Favorite Things are so cute and this card allows me to show them all off properly!
What I Used to Make my Card:
White Card Base
Blue Star Paper, Lucky Prints from MFT {retired}
MFT Mini Meows Stamps, #CS-533
MFT/Die-Namics Mini Meows Dies Set, #MFT-1905
Watercolor Paper {I use this}
Zig Clean
Color Brush Markers
Gina K Amalgam Ink Pad in Obsidian Ink
Uniquely Creative 10 Window Frame Die, #UCD1764
I began this card by stamping, coloring and cutting out the cats. I wanted the colors to be a bit muted, nothing that caused your eye to go to one particular cat so coloring them was quite easy and fast. I set them aside to dry and cut out the 10 window frame using a retired patterned paper. Positioning the sentiment in the very bottom of the card, in the largest window of the die, I stamped it directly onto the card base. I attached the frame onto the card and filled in the other nine windows with the cats.
With all the nastiness floating around this card is perfect to send to someone you literally haven't seen and it shows you miss them. At the same time, it's cute and hopefully will bring a smile to the face of the recipient. I hope it brought a smile to your face, too! Thanks for spending some of your time with me, stay safe and see you soon! Christi

It looks like a fantastic quilt, Christi! My mind is already running wild with the idea of creating a quilt since I have another great-grandbaby due in late December. Thanks for the inspiration. Need I say that I'm visiting again from the Cat Lovers Hop?

ReplyDeleteOMGoodness, this is the CUTEST! Look at those precious kitties! I used to collect the MFT cat stamps but gave up 3 or 4 stamp sets ago. These are adorable! Colouring them differently makes it look like there are nine different stamps here, very cool! I'm enjoying the CLBH!
