Graveyard Cats

      Another post for the Cat Lovers Blog Hop and for the Crazy for Cats challenge.  Both are running this week but the Crazy for Cats challenge will run through the entire month of November so come play along.

     My DT card today features fabulous hologram papers and dies from our sponsor, Lawn Fawn.  You can find them here: LAWN FAWN Hologram dp & LAWN FAWN dies "Lg Stitched Squares."  The sentiment is mine and it was fussy cut.

This is also my Day 28 entry for the
 LeighSBDesigns 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop.

Cat in the Window

      I've been going through my boxes of dies again and this one popped out at me.  It's been a long time since I used it and I thought it would make a good autumn card, but with non-traditional colors.  The Cat in the Window die is an Unbranded die and the cloud was cut with a Memory Box die.

     The card base was dry embossed with an EF from Darice.  The "ribbon" along the left side is actually washi tape but the signature, hand-sewn bow was sewn using satin ribbon and I added a pearl.

Today is the third day of the six day Cat Lovers Hop 2022.

Cat Gratitude

      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.
