Christmas Kitties with Fireplace

Hello friends - I'm still rolling with the kitty theme at the special October Christmas Kickstart Challenge in memory of Janis Woolbright (Her Peaceful Garden). This is card 5 of a possible 6 on the main challenge. I also managed to meet the the tic-tac-toe element that Gail (Crafty Nomad) added to Day 8 at CKC (this is card 2 of a possible 3).

Supplies: Paper - Echo Park Reflections (woodgrain);
Paper Studio Holiday, scraps of white and kraft;
Authentique A Magical Christmas (plaid)
Stamps with dies - Lawn Fawn Simply Celebrate Critters (dies HERE);
Stamps - Hero Arts Color Layering Snowy Tree (retired),
Christmas Trimmings Stamp & Cut (retired)
Dies - A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set
Other - Copic Markers; foam tape;
Hero Arts Cherry Ink; Memento Bamboo Shoot ink

Here's Gail's Tic-Tac-Toe Board; I used the right side vertical - pp, scraps, stamp.


This card took all afternoon - lots of moving parts but so fun to put together! Just stamp, die cut or fussy cut, color & assemble. I did a fireplace card with the quintet of mice from the LF set last year (different fireplace) - see it HERE if you missed it & are interested.

I'm also sharing my kitty card at Show Us Your Pussy Cats Furrything Goes Challenge & at the current Stay Crafty with a Blog Named Hero Challenge where the theme is Holiday! Celebrate!

Thanks for stopping and you'll probably see me back soon! 😸

This is really fun, Linda! Janis would have loved seeing all those kitties lined up and excited for Christmas! It's clear it was a lot of work and it's neat that you are participating in her tribute so often. I need to get at least one card made now that I am back home, so thank you for the reminder, too! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
