My First Cat Lover's Hop

Welcome to my blog! I am participating in my first Cat Lover's Hop! This hop is to celebrate cats of all sizes and shapes during the last full week in October. This coincides with National Cat Day, which is October 29. This hop started on Monday, October 25 and runs until 11:50 PM PT, Saturday, October 30. There are many participants and we were all given a day to share our cat projects. 


Today is my day to share a project and I made this card using the adorable Mama Kat with her Kittens Rubber Stamp by Rick St. Dennis MFA from Blank Page Muse/I Brake for Stamps, who is one of the sponsors of this hop. This is an A6-sized birthday card made for a fellow cat lover. 

You can save 15% on this stamp and all purchases at Blank Page Muse and I Brake for Stamps by using my special code BPMBetty.

  • 3-7/8"W x 3-7/8"H brown cardstock to mat paw print patterned paper
  • 5-7/8"W x 1-5/8"H Hearts patterned paper
  • Sentiment of choice (I created mine on my computer, printed, trimmed, and matted it)
  • Coloring medium of choice. I used Copic markers.
  • 3" circle stitched die
  • Distress Oxide in Tumbled Glass and blending brush
  • Adornments: Red hearts, jelly dots, red bow, and charm. You can substitute with rhinestones, sequins, enamel dots, twine, or jute.
  • Your favorite adhesive
Instructions:
  • Cut all the cardstock and papers in the supplies list
  • Stamp your image and color. I used Copic markers.
    • Fur: YR27, YR24, YR21, Y32
    • Nose and ears: RV95

  • Stamp or print a sentiment of choice. Trim it to size and add a mat.

This is a fun and simple card to make. This stamp is versatile so you can change the sentiment to make it a different occasion. It's perfect for mother's day, a baby card, and holiday cards.

    I just adore mama kitties with babies!!! You don't see them often as stamps, so I love it when a company offers one in their catalog! Your card is so sweet...such wonderful coloring and pretty papers and hearts.
    Thanks so much for playing along with us at the 2021 Cat Lovers Hop! We love it that you joined in the fun.
