2022 Cat Lovers Blog Hop!

2022 Cat Lovers Hop

This week is the 2022 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 theme  and upload it to the post on Her Peaceful Garden! We hope you can play along since there are some really awesome sponsors and prizes, including one from us at Newton's Nook Designs! 

Here's what I created:

Since we have a ton of different kitty stamp designs in our shop, it was hard to choose what to use for my card today, but I decided to feature our brand new Newton's Gift Stamp Set. This set features the kitty popping out of a gift box and holding a blank tag. The stamp set also includes a variety of sentiments that will fit on the tag so you can customize your greeting. For this card I chose to use "fa la la la MEOW" and created a card with a holiday music theme! I colored the image with watercolor markers and then cut it out using the coordinating Newton's Gift Die Set.

For the background I chose our Argyle Stencil Set and created the fun argyle pattern in that matched the colors I had used on the gift. This stencil set is awesome because it has two layers that easily line up. It's great for making two color backgrounds! I chose to make the diamond layer lime green and the stitching layer pink. Then I cut the panel out with our  Frames & Flags Die Set to give it a fun scalloped edge. 

I wanted to add some music to this card to match the sentiment so I used our Music Stencil with white texture paste on top of some vellum. After it had dried I cut it out into a scalloped circle using our Circle Frames Die Set. I also cut out a smaller scalloped circle using the lime green polka dot paper from our new Christmas Time Paper Pad. This paper pad has some great Christmas patterns but if you like kitties, you'll want to check out our Meowy Christmas Paper Pad too as it's jam packed with cute holiday kitty themes! 

Our Design Team Member, Donna Idlet is playing along today too. Here's a little peek at her project:

We hope you enjoy the cat hop! I you are not familiar with our brand yet, our company was named after our orange tabby, Newton. Sadly, we lost our 18 year old Newton in 2019. We miss him terribly but he still lives on in our hearts and our stamp designs! Our current resident kitty helper is named Marlowe. One of his favorite activities is walking across my keyboard, but he means to be a "good" helper! LOL! Here's a photo of Marlowe from the other day, he was being all sleepy while keeping me company on my craft desk!
