Hello, everybody! Before I get started, I would like to welcome my newest followers - mandy- sea and Vivian Foo - thank you for joining me!
The 2022 Cat Lovers Hop is now well underway, and I'm guest designing again! Yay! If you're going to join the hop, then you must hurry; tomorrow is the last day to link up your cat-themed project! However, for commenting, you have until November 2.
Today is Day 5 of this fun hop, which has been organized for the 8th year by Janis at Her Peaceful Garden. Janis does an amazing job keeping things running smoothly and has arranged many awesome sponsors and prizes! I don't know how she does it all! Please head over and be inspired by the cat cards and projects in the link-up - you will be glad you did! I have been enjoying the daily games too!
Handy List of 2022 Cat Lovers Hop Links
On the
web site, you can choose between Wood Mount, EZ Mount Cushion, or Rubber Die Only. In their
Etsy shop, I see Wood Mounts, which is what I own, and I have shared a photo of my stamps below.
Stamps:
I stamped the Kitty and Potted Berries in black on a white scrap and coloured them with markers. I die-cut the image into a stitched octogon shape and layered it on a red glitter die-cut of the same shape. For the background I used patterned paper but decided to add interest by stamping the Tiny Snowflake repeatedly in green. I don't own any holiday sentiments from The Old Island Stamp Company so I used one from my stash (Avery Elle).
I've been a fan of this stamp company for many years as they are based in Canada, and some of the first stamps I purchased were from The Old Island Stamp Company. These rubber stamps bring back fun memories and make me happy!
Did you know that wood-mounted rubber stamps are making a comeback? Not only do they stamp beautifully on the first impression, but they are also a wonderful way to decorate your craft space! Some crafters change their displays with the seasons.
I would also like to join the following 9 challenges, for a total of 10:
Thank you for looking at my card, and happy hopping!

Fabulous card and a great sentiment. The Old Island Stamp Company have some great stamps, unfortunately I am in the UK. I think you are right, wooden stamps make a great display.
Oh she has such beautiful whiskers!! Just beautiful!!! Happy hopping again!!
Just gorgeous! Love this whimsical kitty! I'd would say if I saw this in a shop, I'd buy all three!! (being in Australia... sad face!) Aaaaannyway, your card is super fabulous (as always!) I'm not a cardie but seeing your work, I'm getting more and more inspired! Oooh, happy hopping!
This is a stunning card with a great sentiment! TFS
You were very busy as a DT. I'm jealous of your cat stamp collection :)
I love the lines of these stamps. You've colored them beautifully.
I always liked using the wood mounted
stamps, but they take up so much room.
Still go back to them a lot when I'm
making a card. Love the sentiment
and picture - so cute. thanks
for sharing.
This is cute!
I've never heard of that stamp company but will have to check it out now. Cute stamps and a fabulous and fun card!

Another wonderful card, Kitty! Great job guest designing this week and even getting Brian in on some action!! This company's logo looks familiar to me, but I don't have anything by them; will have to earmark them for sure. Lots of cute stamps like the ones you used for this pawsome card! The sentiment is way fun!
Oh, there is one card from you, Kitty! :D And a beautiful one as always!! LOVE the retro style of these sketchy stamps and the way you framed the cute scene with the sparkling red! It's a so cheerful card in traditional festive colours! Love also so much the way you added interest to the background with the tone-on-tone green snowflakes, such great idea! I always learn somthing new here, thanks so much for sharing!
Sending biggest hugs and love and my congrats for what you have made with Brian. I'm sure you are proud of him, and also that him could be proud of himself! This is a very positive path!
Have joyful days ahead my friend!
Such a cute kitty card. Thanks for sharing with us at PIP Challenges.
Beautiful Christmas kitty card, Karen. This company is new to me, so I'll be sure to check them out. x
Darling card! Cute cat and great sentiment.
These stamps are simply fabulous and I just love this cat. The sentiment goes so well with it too! I can just imagine him planning something with that tree LOL. Too funny!

Wonderful use of the 2 wood block stamps. My first stamps were wood block. I do not buy wood block much anymore since the cking stamps work wonderfully with MISTI. Visiting from Cat Lovers Blog Hop.

Hello from the Cat Lovers Hop.
This is so adorable, love the cat stamp and of course works well with the berry tree, I love the feel of the woodblock stamps, since that is all that was available when I started stamping I do have a good supply to decorate with, (awesome idea) BTW happy to be home now.
cute and adorable at the same time...great sentiment and images.
well done Kitty...keep them coming I enjoy seeing your creations.
So cute. I like the stripes on the cat and the snowflakes on the background paper.
Just 'hopping' by, checking out all the cat cuties, and this is certainly one! A 'purr-fect' holiday card!
Such an adorable card, Kitty! Love that sentiment! Thanks so much for playing along with the Falling for the Holidays 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party!

What a fun and very cute card! Love those stamps. It has been a long time since we had a cat, but I can remember very clearly how they love the Christmas tree! Brings out their playful yet naughty side...
Thanks for taking part in the October Rudolph Days Challenge.
Thanks for your warmth welcome. Marvelous card. I cannot order Wood Mount as shipping would be very expensive for me. Thanks for your lovely remarks on my FB post.
so very cute!

That sentiment made me laugh... I have seen people hang Christmas trees from the ceiling to deal with naughty cats! Very cute :)
