Sending Many Thanks

12/1/23 Top 3 at Once Upon a Time Challenge Blog!

Hi friends! Well, another Friday has rolled around that we are THAT much closer to Christmas! Woo-hoo! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #76! I won this Lost Coast Designs Happy Cat stamp in the October 2022 Cat Lovers Hop. The founder of the Cat Lovers Hop, Janis Woolbright, passed away in January of this year and I used this stamp again as a memorial to her. I participated in the Cat Lovers Hops for the past four years as well as the 2023 Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge this year (last month, actually) that was organized as a tribute to her. Janis was a super sweet lady and will be missed by many. I feel like this stamp made a very cool clean and simple thank you card, and Janis would be proud! ;)

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock. I added two strips of Me And My Big Ideas skinny yellow and gold washi tape down the left side and stamped the cat in Memento Espresso Truffle ink. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Petite Pairs stamp set just above the cat in brown ink, which completed the card front.

I kept the inside clean and simple as well, and stamped another sentiment from the same Stampin’ Up Petite Pairs stamp set in brown ink.

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)
