2018 Cat Lovers Hop

2018 Cat Lovers Hop

This week is the 2018 Cat Lovers Hop! This hop is so fun and since the theme is CATS we knew we HAD to play along! To participate in this blog hop, you just have to create a project that features a cat and upload it to the post on Her Peaceful Garden! You totally should play along if you can since there are some really awesome sponsors and prizes, including one from us at Newton's Nook Designs

Here's what I created:
Cat Lovers Blog Hop | Caroling Cats card by Jennifer Jackson | Caroling Newton Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade
We JUST had our Holiday release last Friday and so I wanted to share a card I created using our brand new Caroling Newton Stamp Set. This set has stolen my heart with the trio of cute little caroling kitties and it's SO fun to color! For this card I stamped the image onto watercolor paper and I colored the kitties using Zig Watercolor Markers. It's so fun to try making different shading and patterns on the kitties! Then I cut out the image using the coordinating Caroling Newton Die Set. The die even cuts out the little spaces between their heads!

Once the kitties were ready to go I needed to make a scene for them. I started with a light blue background and inked those music notes onto it using our new Music Stencil with distress ink. Then I cut out a snowy hill using the stitched curve from our Land Borders Die Set. I added in a little green tree using the new Forest Scene Builder Die Set too. Then I finished it off by embossing the "meow to the world" sentiment onto a little black banner that was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set.  The finishing touch was a bit of twine across the snowy bottom and then I mounted it to a darker blue card base.
