Die-cut Christmas Kitty

Hello, everyone! Before I share my card, I would like to welcome two new followers - Ryoma Sakamoto, JAPAN and Sierra Winters - thank you for joining me! Today I'm sharing a Christmas card I made for a friend using Frantic Stamper Cat Card Maker. I had fun die-cutting all the pieces and making the kitty look like my friend's kitty!


For the little white tuft at the bib, I used a die from Marianne Designs Cat Collectables Set.  The patterned paper is from MAMBI.  The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps, which I die-cut into a stitched tag (La -La-Land Crafts) and tied with baker's twine.  Lastly I added some holly leaves and red sequins for a little sparkle.


My elf Eli is so excited! Just one more sleep until his favourite night of the year - Christmas Eve! Here's the calendar Eli has been using to count the days! He can't wait to see Santa again!  Eli and I are linking up over at DL.ART's Third Annual Elf Antics Linky! You can check out the antics of Eli and his elf friends over at the linky!

    Lovely cat card. I'm not surprised that the calendar that Eli found to use has cats all over it! I hope Eli likes cats too (even if they don't seem to like him!).

    Such a cute and novel cat card. I love it. Eli looks very excited.
    I expect he is looking forward to the Elf's ball when he gets back to the North Pole. Elf Boss has been vey busy in the garage. lots of banging and hammering. I don't know what he is up to. Hope you have a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year to you. Hugs Mrs A.

    I always love seeing a cat card, and this one has so much personality! I can't believe I don't have one single cat die yet, so maybe that should have been on my Christmas wish list. All the elves are in a tizzy over Christmas being so close and Eli's vintage calendar is the perfect way to keep count

    How cute this big fat black cat is! Super design for a cat lover indeed!
    Soon off to my sister's where the kids are waiting in anticipation for Santa to arrive. But first we will go to church, then enjoy Christmas dinner.

    As you know, I love so much cats, and this is just super!!
    These eyes remember me my beloved lost Bagheera, his eyes was so green, round and big. He was so fat, too :)
    The sparkling holly near the ear of your kitten are a fabulous touch! And the green of the background matches very well with his eyes!
    Eli is so cute on the calendar with the kitten!
    Hugs, my friend! Happy Christmas!
