Meowy Christmas

Hey everybody! It’s Hump Day and I hope your week is going great! It’s turning out to be a busy morning on my blog – I’ve posted a couple design team projects and now I’m back with another post just for fun! You all know that Ed and I are ‘crazy cat people’ and you may remember me participating in the last four Cat Lovers Hops organized by my friend, Janis Woolbright. Sadly, Janis passed away on January 6th of this year (which is also my dad’s birthday) and one of her friends is organizing the 2023 Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge in her honor! How cool is that?! I didn’t know about it until Jo commented on one of my projects several days ago. I’ve been busy with design team work but was able to squeeze in a cat-themed Christmas card to enter into the challenge. There is a limit of six projects over the entire month of October, so I think I’ll be able to make five more! I’m very touched to have been invited to participate! Janis was a wonderful person and is missed by many. <3

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding bi-level card base (front flap shorter than the back flap, either horizontally or vertically) from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and ran the short flap through my Big Shot with a Paper Smooches Stitched Borders die. I grabbed my American Crafts Christmas Holiday Prints and Christmas Prints 6×6 paper pads and cut a side panel and several flags which I created with the Stampin’ Up Banner Triple Punch.

I adhered the flags to the card front along with a sparkly black cat die cut in my stash (I don’t remember where it came from) and an Eyelet Outlet Santa Hat Brad. I stamped the sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Christmas Cats stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and added several clear gemstones which completed the card front.

I stamped the inside sentiment from the same Simon Says Stamp stamp set, and the card was complete! Super easy design that would be really easy to mass produce for everybody on your Christmas list! And this particular card is in honor of our dear friend, Janis, so that makes it even more special!
