Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge - Gerda Steiner Designs

Hello, everyone!  I'm back again today with another card for the Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge, and this one features another one of today's generous sponsors, Gerda Steiner Designs!   

As mentioned earlier today, we are also remembering our dear friend Janis Woolbright from Her Peaceful Garden, who hosted the annual Cat Lovers Hop for eight years and who sadly passed away in January 2023.  You can read about my memories of Janis here.  If you have some fond memories about Janis, please leave a comment here at the Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge. Rest in peace, Janis.  

Janis would have wanted us to have some fun, and I am excited to be one of Janis' Helpful Hoppers; thank you to Jo for inviting me!  

With much joy and love in my heart, I present another card for the challenge, this one featuring Gerda Steiner Designs - Carol Kitten:


Products:
Patterned paper:  Forever in Time Holiday Trendz 'Tis the Season
Other:  Star Dust Stickles

I coloured the three kitties with markers and fussy-cut so I could pop them up on foam tape. I added Stickles to their hats for some sparkle.  I've been a fan of Gerda Steiner's adorable stamps and digitals for nearly 10 years!  I purchased this stamp set last year (or perhaps the year before?), and this is the first time I've inked it up.  The kitties were so much fun to colour!

Just look at these adorable sweeties from Gerda Steiner Designs - Carol Kitten!  The sentiment is part of the set, and there is also a fourth kitty and some music notes which I will save for next time.  

Thanks to Gerda Steiner Designs for sponsoring the Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge!

    This card is absolutely adorable with those fun images. I love the musical background which is perfect for their caroling efforts. I can almost hear all the meowing. Stay safe in the storm and take good care of yourself! Hugs and blessings!

    Love the cute cats in Christmas theme. The musical background makes it look amazing!
    Sad to know that Janis is no more. May her soul RIP. The hop she organised was so much fun.

    Super cute! I love these. The little kitty hiding behind his sheet music - so cute! I just entered my card at GSD and didn't see yours. I know you are dealing with some weather but I wanted to mention it. Take care!

    I love your card and those delightful little kitties with their delightful little faces! The sheet music background gives rise to their little Christmas carol singing - they are so very sweetly coloured and arranged too! I always look forward to seeing your cards! Take care and stay safe xx
