Winter Cat

This is just my second time using the sweater dies from Spellbinders (a bear comes with the sweater dies) but I am CASEing an idea I saw (here) by Sarah Leese Papercrafts using another Spellbinders set with this cute cat. Our Just Us Girls Moodboard Challenge #758 was chosen by our sweet hostess Bobby. It has pretty colors and winter elements to choose from. I went with the colors and winter theme. Don't forget to check out all of the wonderful design team cards and another creative one by our guest Annette Elias.














Products I used:

Spellbinders: Festive Friends die set, Halloween Add-ons by Wendy Vecchi

Pink Fresh Studio: Folk Snowflake stamp and die sets

Altenew: Obsidian Pigment Ink pad

Lawn Fawn: Patterned paper

My Favorite Things: In Stitches Numbers die set

The Stamp Market: Little Letterboard die set

I tried to line up the red and taupe plaids to match like when you are sewing with plaid fabrics and did the best I could. Inside the card I die cut "In 2025" in blue and red die cut letters to continue the sentiment from the front of the card.

Won't you join us this week with a pretty winter card?

I think I prefer the oversized sweater on the cat to the bear actually - he is a cutie! Hugs, Kate!

Oh my goodness are you one of those plaid matching people, Carol? I am a stickler for plaids having to match on anything I buy. I guess it's the seamstress in me. You did a great job with yours and the card is so much fun with the sweater wearing cat.

This is so darn cute! I love that kitty in his sweater, even though he doesn't look too sure about it. Love the plaid background and the coordinating plaid sweater, too.
