Kitty is grey, don't know why she turned out so blue in the photo?! I found the ampersand stash during a clean up effort (yes, never-before-used) and knew it would tie the sentiments together perfectly. Have been enjoying the grey patterns in the Knit Picky pad - will have more Christmas cards including this paper.

Carta Bella It's a Celebration 6x6 pad, unknown blue for pocket
Die - Frantic Stamper Jeans Pocket
Other - Copic markers, foam tape, Memento Tuxedo Black ink
For card two I stamped the kitty and doggy heads and carefully trimmed away any parts of the stockings. The blue jeans pocket was an item I die cut while at Heather's back in July. She had this yummy blue cardstock so I die cut a bunch of these pockets - thanks again Heather!!
Yay - another Christmas card for the stash - I'm up to 48 now!! Plus a birthday card for an animal lover; I know many :) Thanks to Darnell and crew for another fun challenge. Thanks to you for stopping by!!

cute cards, Linda - the kitty and puppy in the pocket and stockings are perfect for this challenge
These are both terrific - and so different! How fun to feature them for a holiday and an occasion.
Very clever and sweet cards Linda. Cool idea to make a Christmas card and a birthday card with the same kitties.
What adorable pup and kitten Linda! Perfect to have them peeking out of the stockings for the Christmas card and getting on so well in the pocket for the birthday card! Thanks for your comment on my blog - we never forget our furry friends do we. Glad that Misty comes to visit you sometimes now :)
awww... what a cute set of cards, linda! so perfect for the twofers challenge!
adorable critters - great cards!!!
Using these cute critters was a great idea for your Twofers, Linda! That pp background on your Christmas card really is delicious! (Aren't Siamese a very dark blue-gray? I'll bet this little lady is part Siamese, part white. Actually, are there "mutts" in the cat world, I wonder? I don't think I've heard people call them that. They always seem to have type names. Oh, sorry. You see how easily I get squirreled these days!) Back to your card, I love your coloring and matting and the bold NBUS ampersand!
And your birthday card is just darling! That blue is a perfect shade of denim and those little critters look like they were intended for that pocket! Very keen-eyed of you to think of that! And I love the way you did the cut-out technique with your pp and then used a complimentary pp in the space, which added tons of interest!! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #20! Hugs, Darnell
Linda, Your cat and dog are so adorable in their Christmas stockings. Just hanging out and wishing everyone good cheer. YOur birthday card is such a smart use of the critter stamps. They look like they are having fun hanging out in that denim pocket. Super fun twofer! Thank you so much for playing along with Twofer Challenge#20.
Your darling kitty and puppy are perfect for our critter challenge! You could do so many things with them, but I like your idea of tucking them into the Christmas stockings and the pocket. I'm smiling! I was so happy with the theme of this challenge. Such fun cards! I'm so glad you played along with us at Twofer!
These are both so cute & totally different! Great entry for the challenge, Linda!
Such a cute critters set around that cool NBUS ampersand, Linda, the kitty is similar in colour to one of our barn cats, so she's perfect as one of your little stocking fillers on the Christmas card! Love how you've adapted her and her puppy chum to fit into the jeans pocket on your celebratory birthday card ... they're so fun ... and fabulous with the vibrant pp! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Anita :)
