We Three Kings I mean Cats..............

 Woo Hoo I finally managed a card for Christmas Kickstart!! with one day to spare, nothing like running in on the 25th hour. Challenge #52 is Wooly, or Fluffy or Furry.. and kitties are furry.

The stamp I used I have had for a long time it's a wood mount from Stampendous, I love anything "cats" and use them as much as I can. The "enamel" dots are some home made ones I  made a few years ago and while packing "things" to bring to the cottage they appeared so I added them to the tote bag. The image was cut with Elizabeth Craft Designs stitched rectange and back with the postage stamp die also from Elizable Craft Designs. 

Finished the inside with a clear stamp, some scraps of paper left from the front and of course since I brought the paw prints border punch I had to use it on the inside.

Christmas Kickstart ~~ Wooly or Fluffy or Furry challenge

Thanks for stopping by again and finally I'm getting my Christmas stash going, 

Fur Babies and lots of them.............

 Fiaally warmer weather and of course we went from 3 to 30 in a matter of days, you sure can't adjust that fast anymore. It's my first actual crafting trip to the cottage, it's always a "what did I forget this time?"  There are so many things to do the first few trips and everything seems to be "new" for Toto, what ever I'm working on she is there, doesn't have the concept of what is NOT hers.  

My favvourite time is when I can take my card to the breakwall and use the lake as my backdrop. Today was very trying though, there is a beautiful breeze that kept blowing the card off the easel. 

I used a stamp/die set I have had for quite a while 6 month to 1 year, the dies had not been separated and my clippers were at home (both pair) so I fussy cut all those super sweet kitties.  Die cut the gras and clouds added a sentment from the set and voila a slim line Birthday card.

Finished the inside with a 6th super cute kitty alas no sentiment, I have some really nice long sentiments which of course is still at the other crafting place. I also didn't remember to bring my stamp positioner, which might present a problem for the image I planned on using next. I was hoping not to have 90% of my supplies at the cottage when I have to pack up in October.

A is for Animal ~~ Again.

 There is still time to enter the challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers and as I said last Saturday I have another Two-Fer for you. Still using the note card fronts and embellishing them, a bit of colouring as I said last week it's shiny paper and there is no shading involved as it just disappears.

Traditional Black & White, now this one gave me giggles, although I have never had the reason go go on dates after children I'm sure it resonates with a few. Again I was practicing with the Nuvo drops so don't laugh. 

Close up of the groupl

Typical male@@ I flat attached the image to the already made note card (bought a huge package at a yard sale) I thought the stitching pattern accented the outfit the cat was wearing. I added three enamel (plastic) dots I bought at Dollar Tree. 

A close up of the kitty.

Thanks for stopping by today and  have a wonderful 24th of May holiday weekend.

You are My Besht Friend

Doesn't Edna look so jazzy in her animal print dress thanks Lee for the awesome grapic.

Time for a new Challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers....A is for Animal, I went a bit smaller with my animal and you get a two-fer!!!

Several years ago or longer I found a box of note cards at Winners for $5.99 and thought one day they would work for a challenge, there are 5 cards each of 4 designs. Because the paper is shiny it was a tad difficult to colour  

Closer look at the image

As I said it's a two-fer so here is another of the cards that  I altered.

I guess the picture says it all,  I did some colouring on this one as well and added te nuvo drops (don't look too close I'm still a novice)

Close up of the image I think they look like I would if that was my icecream but it wouldn't be strawberry......it's Chocolate all the way.

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019 ~~ Day 24

It was a busy day today for me, I made two tags!! I didn't even get started until late afternoon, I'm feeling pretty good about it. I can't believe it's day 24 already, I have had so much fun deciding which tag to use as inspiration, I'm also happy I have kept up for the most days. Well the sponsor for today has such super cute almost retro stamps and diecuts, little shops which reminded me of  my Christmas village. For today's inspiration I used Cassie Trask's trio of tags (I only made one) I picked the tag because it had a cat on it and with 23 tags behind me not one had a cat on it.  Cassie did a video on how she made the tag and it was great.

The stamp set I used is from Stampendous and it is a mini set, perfect for tags, I found the blue scrap in my "scrap box" and cut the stitched circle from Elizabeth Craft Designs. Since Cassie coloured her cat as a Siamese I tried my hand at doing the same (I usually colour domestic cats) I think she/he turned out pretty good. Fussy cutting the present and mouse was a challenge.

Here is Cassie's trio of "cat" tags.

Are they not the cutest tags, and check out her video you can find it HERE hope it works.

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019 Day 24

Thanks for visiting today.

Three for the Money!!!

It seems like I have been working on this card forever, it was 3 or 4 days, some days nothing goes right so you put it aside and then sometimes life gets in the way and commitments happen. Yahoo it's finished!! It's for 3 of a kind at the Jingle Belles, my second card for the challenge, so I'm on track for my one a week.

I have had the image coloured for several weeks and finally did something with it, I really wanted a doily behind the kitties but my doily die was MIA (since found it too) So looking through my box of "diecuts" I found this wreath cut in stardream white. The cute little Christmas kitties are from Bugaboo Designs. Every Friday they post a free image for you to use, how cool is that?

 I carried the patterned paper to the inside and use an Artful Stamper sentiment.

Cat Lovers Unite!!! The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge is K is for Kitties.

I was so excited about this Kitty challenge as I have many many kitty stamps, it was hard to pick one so I picked two. I used images from Stitchy Bear/Barbara Jensen.  The first card is very plain but there might be some snark on the inside. Check it out.

Now isn't this some "Cattitude" I just love this image. we have closed the cottage and brought all my crafty stuff home, so far I haven't managed to get it back to where it all belongs, so it's taking me twice as long to craft and I don't see much happening in the next few days either. Life sure gets in the way sometimes.

I thought this sentiment worked perfect for the image.

Now for my second card ~~ Christmas kitty

Another kitty from Stitchy Bear/Barbara Jensen, the Santa hat is from High Hopes along with the sentiment "Merry Christmas, EH!" Just a little bit Canadian LOL.

I used the snow flurries embossing folder and I think the sentiment is from Stampendous.
