Christmas Kickstart - Calling All Cat Lovers

 

My card today is in honor of a crafty lady that I did not have the pleasure of knowing.  Janis Woolbright is being honored on my Snarky Sister Jo's Christmas Kickstart challenge blog this month.  Janis ran the annual Cat Lovers blog hop but sadly passed away in January.  






I had so much fun creating with Anita Jeram's stamps the other day that I pulled out another set for today's card.  I began by stamping, coloring and fussy cutting the kitty from one of her sets.  I grounded her on a panel with an embossed strip of red cardstock, adding in some die cut greenery to make it a bit more festive.  I stamped the simple greeting and adhered several tiny gold stars around her head for a bit of bling.  I think this is a wonderful holiday card for any feline lover.

Supplies:
Colorado Craft Company - Thank You Kindly stamp set
Fun Stampers Journey - Pretty Plaid embossing folder
Carta Bella - Joyful Pine die cuts

Whether you knew Janis or not, I'm sure your holiday cards will be much appreciated over on Jo's challenge blog.  Thank you for visiting today.  Your time is always appreciated.

  5. The look on kitty's face is so precious - or is she up to something?!! Yeah, I think she's up to something. lol What a fabulous card. I love the BG color of yellow, which you don't see much of.
