Christmas Kickstart Reminder for Challenge #87

 

We're in very talented cardmaking company again this month at Christmas Kickstart as we have Denise from The Crafty Den as our Elf.

Our theme until June 30th is...

It's a Gift!

So we'd like to see gifts or presents on your cards, please. There are some gorgeous cards in the gallery - you guys are really rocking this challenge.

Denise has created another lovely piece to inspire us, so why not head on over and take a gander!

Here's a little reminder of Denise's first make for our challenge.

There were so many different ways to go for an 'Inspired by card', but I grabbed Denise's 'sketch' design, and rather like the end result. Thanks for letting me CASE your card, Denise. 

The cute kitty is from Your Next Stamp. The YNS store remains open until the end of June, and there are a few amazing bargains to be had before it closes for good. The gift background is an oldie from Hero Arts and the sentiment is an oldie from Simon Says Stamp. Neither of these stamps appear to be currently available. 

There are still two weeks for you to join our challenge, and don't forget that Rudolph has a very lovely Random Raffle Prize on offer for one lucky person!

Yet more kitty fun!

 

I thought I'd just drop by to mention there's still time to play along in our tribute challenge over at The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge, where we're remembering creator of The Cat Lovers Hop, Janis Woolbright!

I do love this cool dude from Your Next Stamp. What a pity this company is closing it's online store.

He just HAD to be a ginger boy and was so much fun to colour!

Mmmmm, it appears there's just time for a quick cat meme or two...

Have a happy Friday, everyone.

Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge - Day #4

I'm playing along on Day #4 of The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge where we're remembering The Cat Lovers Hop founder Janis Woolbright by creating cat-themed Christmas cards. 

One of our sponsors today is Your Next Stamp and I created this little card using one of my most favourite of Karen's cute stamps. 

Sadly, YNS owner Karen is closing her store this month. However, she's still offering a surprise grab bag of YNS products to one lucky random winner from our challenge. 

I had such fun paper piecing that present and the tiny bow. I've no idea why I set myself such an eye-achingly difficult challenge, but I'm pretty pleased with the end result. I needed a coffee after doing that I can tell you!

The cute die is from MFT and I loved how well it framed the cat. Apart from the paper piecing, this card came together so easily it felt like cheating.

Isn't this just the cutest badge? I'm linking my card at Fiki's fun challenge: Show US Your Pussycats.

The pretty papers all came from my Snippets Box, so I'm going to link to Snippets Playground Challenge #464. There are some gorgeous cards in the gallery, so why not head on over and take a look! 

And please don't forget to come and play at our current Christmas Kickstart Challenge.
