Retro Kitty Tags

Hello, everyone!  Long time no see.  Although I have not been blogging or reading the blogs, I just happened to discover that Show Us Your Pussycats is celebrating its 100th Challenge this month - Yay!  Who knows what else I have been missing?   Please let me know if I'm missing out on any other exciting things going on in Blogland these days.

Congratulations to my friend Fikreta for continuing this fun cat-themed challenge after the very sad loss of our dear friend Ike (Ike's Art) in 2022.  As a cat lover myself, I could not let May pass by without joining the celebration, so here I am!  I plan to be back with more cat-themed projects this month.  By the way, the challenge theme over there is "Furrything Goes with Cats as the Main Feature." 

Most of the projects I make these days are for my journals.  Here are some retro kitty tags I created for this purpose.  I made 18 colourful tags featuring adorable story-book kitty digitals (The Digital Chick Etsy Shop, Past Paper Pretties Etsy Shop, Crafts U Print, and FAVPNG), which I printed and fussy-cut.

For the tag bases, I cut out tag shapes from digital papers (Cara Brandon Creations Etsy Shop).  All but the yellow were cut using my Sunlit Tag Punch; the yellow were cut by hand. 

The frames behind the kitties are a digital from Cara Brandon Creations and were a freebie at one point. I decorated the tags with tickets (some from thrift shop, some digital), die-cut doilies (several brands used, please ask and I will look them up), digital butterflies, punched butterflies, punched hearts, and various other ephemera from my stash. I also used my We-R-Memory-Keepers Hole-Reinforcer punch, Tim Holtz Bow Punch, and Bira Leaf Punch.  The sentiments were self-made in Microsoft Word. I had a lot of fun creating these tags as the kitties make me smile and remind me of my childhood.
