More Kitties and Books!

Hi everyone - today's the last day to enter a critter project for Die Cut Divas November Challenge. I'm sharing my kitty card as inspiration with the end-of-month team at Diva Cut Divas HERE. I also have a bonus card below, found only on my blog.


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Recollections A2 card; Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Winter Petite
Stamps with Dies - Lawn Fawn Cozy Cats Stamp + Die Bundle &
Stamps - Lawn Fawn Sophie's Sentiments (retired)
Other - Copic Markers; white gel pen; 
Memento ink; SSS Starshine dots

Our fabulous sponsor this month is Lawn Fawn. They donated a $25 gift card for our random November winner to be awarded on December 3rd. Thanks Lawn Fawn!



I stamped and die cut all the images, then colored with Copics. The extra books were trimmed off a piece of a hangout used on a previous card. Stamped the sentiment on a banner from the stash (brand unk). I die cut a plaid rectangle and a small blue rectangle, then added to an A2 card. Arranged my kitties and books on the blue rectangle, then added some starshine dots.

For my bonus, I made a winter scene:


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Winter Petite; scrap of green
Stamps - Lawn Fawn Magic Holiday Messages
Dies - Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders,
Other - Copic Markers; foam tape;
Hero Arts and Memento inks

Adhered a plaid A2 layer to an A2 card. Die cut a stitched hillside from an A2 panel of white. Added a die cut tree border behind the hill and glued atop the plaid layer. Stamped, die cut and colored the sleigh, gifts (3) and reindeer (2). Assembled and added to the card. Thanks to teamie Arlene for sending me the sentiment she'd already cut with a circle from her stash. I colored the elements with Copics & popped it onto the card with foam tape.

That's it for today. I hope to see you in the November Diva gallery with any brand of critter; just be sure to include die cuts &/or embossing folders in your design.

I will add the bonus card as a last minute entry to the November Christmas Kickstart Challenge #104 to Just Add Antlers. And to Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #209 where critters celebrate the holidays.

Thanks for visiting & happy crafting!!

I thought your first card was adorable, but then you went and created the cutest scene of those deer pulling all those gifts TO ME. LOL Putting the sentiment at an angle was the perfect thing to do with the "HAPPY" filled in green.

Cats and books, a setting for perfect time. I'd never craft if I had a kitty, books keep me out of the craft room enough as it is. Back to your cards. I love those plaids, such a perfect backdrop for your delightful design.

Two adorable cards using those Lawn Fawn critters, Linda. Love the first card with the plaid background and the cat enjoying a lovely nap on top of the books. :) Those reindeer are so cute pulling the sleigh piled-high with gifts. xx
