From Meow to You

Hello, everybody!  I was inspired by a number of challenges this week so I made four cards, all with a coffee or cocoa theme!  The Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop has been going on all week, and today is the last day, so I will be sharing all four of my cards today!   Here is the first one:


Products used:
Stamps:  AALL & Create Light it Up (kitty), Newton's Nook A Kitten Christmas (sentiment and holly)
Ink:  Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide
Die:  Memory Box Curved Happy Holidays
Embossing folder:  Darice Snowflake Background
Other:  Snowflake punch

This cute kitty is a stamp I don't own, but the stamped image was sent to me by a sweet friend (thank you so much - you know who you are!).  I coloured the cat and holly images with markers, added accents with a white paint marker, and fussy-cut.  I embossed a teal panel with snowflakes, adhered the curvy greeting die-cut, and stamped the sentiment directly on the die-cut.  I finished the card with a few punched snowflakes. 

I was inspired by the following 8 challenges (see all badges below):
Beccy's Place A Month of Holiday Cards H for Happy Holidays and Holly UE
Caffeinated Christmas CCCC23 Christmas/Holiday themed card with at least one Holly element; card can be Coffee, Tea or Hot Cocoa (see holly by stamped sentiment)
Christmas Kickstart 80 It's Christmas, Jim, but not as we know it (I chose non-traditional colour combo) 1/3 C8
Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Coffee, Tea, Cocoa &/or Hot Apple Cider project
Die-Cut Divas November It's All About the Holidays (must use die) 1/4
Double Trouble 152 Deja Brew Coffee, Tea, and/or Cocoa, with optional twists to use a pun and link up at 2023 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop (I did all the things) 1/4
Passion for Markers 715 Favourite Stamp or Digi (cute Christmas characters) UE
We Love Stamping November Christmas Characters or Anything Goes 1/3


Here's a cat / coffee meme, just for fun!  I hope it makes you smile!


Thank you for being here!  Wishing you a joyful day!

Hi dear Kitty! So glad to see your kitty cards again! And you published FOUR in a day!!! Wow!! Out of my possibilities! :D
This kitty is just delicious, such cute face!! Love how you have coloured him (despite the pink sweater, I think he is a boy! :) ) He's savouring the anticipation of his coffe with cream, slurp! :) The design is adorable with the blue EF and the curvy greeting die-cut, as he seems sitting on a snow-bank. The cute holly and snowflakes finished the card so well. Adorable!
Thanks so much for sharing your card with us at We Love Stamping!

Love the image Kitty, and you did a fantastic job with the colouring! I love the combination of pink and teal... right down to the little holly sprig. Fabulous embossing too, fits the theme perfectly.
Cheers,
Beccy

Nice to see this little kitten on a card too. And the card is beautiful in these cool wintery tones.

So glad you were able to get your adorable cards in for our "BeJa-Brew" challenge. This card is so adorable... love the snow border sentiment to set your adorable kitty on, great embossed background and color again the snow... thanks for sharing your adorable and fun card with us at Double Trouble.

Love the holiday greeting die and how you used it to ground your sweet kitty. So pretty!!!
It's a good thing I don't own kitties, they would never look at me! I can't do anything without my coffee in the morning so their bowls would definitely have to wait for my coffee to take effect and get me started :-)
Have a wonderful day.
