Today I'm joining the Feeling Blue challenge at Impression Obsession - IO Blog. The guidelines are to use all IO stamps and dies, and the IO challenge must be listed first. Done, and done!
This is Day 2 of the Cat Lovers Hop, so you know I'm joining again today with my IO challenge card! Thank you to Janis for organizing the hop! You can check out the guidelines and FAQ over on Janis's blog here. If you like cats as much as I do, then you won't want to miss this hop!
I've had this kitty stamp from Impression Obsession for over a year and I thought it was high time he made an appearance! He's called Squinty with Mittens F7567 and I coloured him with Prismacolor pencils and added glitter on the white part of his hat.
I added strips of washi tape and blue glitter tape along the left side of the card. I die cut Impression Obsession - Sm. Snowflakes Set DIE100-F from the glitter tape and placed them to look like Squinty is curiously gazing at them. I stamped the greeting from Impression Obsession Clear Stamps Set - Sentiments 1 WP16 and adhered several blue and silver sequins.
I decided to finish the inside of this card so I followed a similar design with the washi tape, snowflakes, and sequins and then stamped the Impression Obsession - Furry Christmas C7583 sentiment.
Here are two of my cats in their Santa hats; sorry no mittens. I don't think they liked the hats!

Thank you for looking at my card! Wishing you a joyful day!
Adorable, I love Squinty! The snowflake and glitter tape are the purrfect trimmings for adding some blue. The inside is just as pretty and could be the front of a card. Your two cats look like they are ready for the holidays! Thanks for joining in the Impression Obsession Challenge.

What fun to see your cute kitties (they're both rolling their eyes right now!) and the one on your card, too! Great shadow job and I love the monochromatic color scheme!

Thank you so much for the welcoming words, Kitty!!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't Squinty just the sweetest little thing with his party hat and mittens!!! Love the puzzled look on his face!!! The blues and the lovely glitter are so beautiful. Such a sweet sentiment on the inside!! Very cute card!!!
Your little Honeydew and Kiwi are darlings, but I think I have to agree that they don't like those festive hats!!!
Have a great day!!!
WOW, this is a beautiful card. I love the cat stamp you used. TFS!

The kitten you used is very cute, but your Kiwi and Honeydew are much more cutest!!! :D They hate the hats and also the mittens, I'm sure, ehehe :D
ReplyDeleteYour design is so clean and stunning, freally abulous with the strips of washi tape and glitter tape!! These stripes seem like a gorgous lace! And the kitten seems look at the snowflakes! Very fun card!
Love the BLUE Great card
ReplyDeleteDarn cute creation in my fave color blue! Love this cutest image with a Santa's cap and mittens! That glittery border with gorgeous snowflake washi tales are so beautiful and i adore the beautiful inside too! Love your cute cat pics in Santa's cap!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, why oh why don't I have that Squinty with Mittens stamp? I love IO stamps and dies and this is one of the cutest cat stamps I've seen lately. Your card design makes the most of the washi tape (which I always forget to use) and that strip of glitter tape adds just the right amount of bling! Love this so much! I don't think I would have been able to get a Santa hat on any of my cats at all, so I am suitably impressed!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! Thanks for playing in the io challenge!
ReplyDeleteI am such a cat lover and your card is absolutely precious. I love your use of the blues and white together. I also love your kitty pictures with their Santa hats on. I have four cats but don't think any of them would sit still for a second with a hat on for a picture. LOL!
ReplyDeletesuper great card!
ReplyDeleteI love your cat with the hat

It's always a party at Kitty's blog and the Cat Hop is just adding to the festivities here!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this adorable card, Kitty. That look on Squinty's face is priceless. "What is this thing my human put on me?????" Not unlike the looks on your lovely kitties' faces, but they look more tolerant. :) Your card with all the sparkles and blue is just gorgeous. Love the beautiful inside, too!!!
Thanks so much for being a part of the Cat Lovers Hop!!!!

ReplyDeleteEvery little cat in this post is adorable! I haven't seen this kitty image before and it might just be one of my favorite ones. Look at that facial expression, so cute!
