Today is the first day of the six day Cat Lovers Hop 2022.
I've played in the hop every year since 2016, and may even have played the year it started (2015) but I can't confirm that, so I only claim 6 years of playing. The card I made is a Thanksgiving card and we all know how grateful cats can be when they can get a high view from a tree branch. :-D
My card today is all die cuts and all scraps, but for the plaid dp from Taylor Made. There's dry embossing on the orange CS. I used my "Linen" EF but this time, I turned the CS scrap on the diagonal so that it has a cross-hatch look. The tree was done using a die from Die-Versions and I cut black, brown, gold, tan, and eggshell scraps to get all the different leaf colors, plus the cat and tree trunk. It took a lot of time to make all the cuts and individually place all the pieces but it was worth it in the end.
I based this on the sketch from The Outlawz, turned sideways
& using the leaves, trunk, & cat's tail as the shapes
along the sides of the middle panel.

Hello Nanna Connie, I'm visiting from the Cat Lovers Hop and it's so lovely to see you taking part again this year. I love your die cut card in those fabulous autumnal colours - beautiful work! x
Gorgeous Fall/Kitty themed card! I tend to make a lot of cards with just die cuts (& feel guilty for not using a stamp! lol). I love the plaid and the embossed layers for extra dimension & interest to go with that awesome tree & purrfect kitty.
Hi NanaConnie,
Just hopping by from the Cat Lovers Hop!
Love the cat and the scene you have created!
Happy Hopping!
I'm sure it was a lot of work with all those die cut pieces. But it is so pretty in the end. Lovely work!
Popping over from the Cat Hop to say hello! I love visiting the blogs of fellow cat lovers! I love your cat-themed card in autumn colors! It's just beautiful!

Your kitty in the tree is so perfect for Halloween! Great colors and design!
This could be one of my cats, they always like to sit in the trees.
Such a cute and fun fall-themed Thanksgiving kitty scene! Your black kitty die-cut is adorable, and that's a great tree die-cut too! If you're not sure you played in 2015, just look back in your blog in late October of that year and maybe you'll see that you did take part. So nice to see you at the hop again, NC!
Great Autumn and/or Halloween scene. I love visiting the Cat Lovers Hopa nd seeing all the fun cards and projects. Thanks for playing at The Inspiration Station Challenge.

What a darling card, Connie! My last kitty was black, too. I miss her so much! What a personality she had. I almost wonder at your card - I can feel myself sitting with the kitty, high in the branches, just feeling thankful for life's beauty! So happy I got to see your creation at Jan’s Digi Stamp Challenges . Thanks for the inspiration, and I hope to see more of your designs soon.
