Hi, Friends......
This week has been such a frenzy with our 2022 Cat Lovers Hop, that I have not had a chance to post even one card! So I am taking the time right now just before the gates close to finally put this one up that I had made for my son's birthday this year. I used Lost Coast Designs products and am going to add it to their Cats and Dogs Challenge.
I stamped, heat embossed and masked off the cityscape and experimented around on scratch paper till I had the cat positioned where I wanted. Fussy cutting the mask around all those spires looks like it would be tedious, but I found I did not have to be too exact. Good thing, because I detest fussy cutting!! lol...
The inside sentiment says: "Be Humble and Rule the World". :)
I am linking this up to my own Cat Hop, even though I am not eligible for prizes. Maybe my Hoppers will come take a peek at it. :)
Supplies used include:
Lost Coast Designs - ATC Lattice Set - Background Texture Stamping
Carmen's Veranda - Peekaboo Kitty (large) stamp
Lost Coast Designs - Small Cityscape Stamp
The Cat's Pajamas - Good Meowning stamp set (Retired) - Inside Sentiment
Versafine Ink Onyx Black
Clear Embossing Powder
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers
Distress Ink in Fired Brick, Antique Linen, and Walnut Stain
Thank you all for stopping by. Remember you can still comment on the Cat Hop projects through Wed. Nov. 2! Go to the Main Hop Post to find out all the details!!

Magnificent majestic kitty, definitely looking down on its earthly subjects! Totally love the heat embossing and the glow of the golden eyes above the spires! Its gorgeous - truly! I'm so glad you took some time for you too!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad the hop is over and I have to wait a whole nother year for it to come around again! Thankyou for all you do, its so selfless, what a special community you have created.
That's an awesome card! Bet he loved it!
ReplyDeleteYour card is simply wonderful, Janis. I can imagine how long it must have taken to fussy cut around the city scape but it was well worth the effort as it looks amazing!

Hello, Janis! So happy you were able to share a kitty card for the hop! I honestly don't know how you managed this week. It felt like I was back working a full-time job, and I was only a participant! You are AMAZING!!! Not to mention all of the prep work you did ahead of time, to secure sponsors, write blog posts, add links for all of the sponsors, arrange and schedule each day's blog posts, communicate with the sponsors - and I can only imagine what else was involved! Like I said, you are AMAZING! And so is your adorable kitty card! He must have loved it! Just wanted to add that I really appreciate everything you do for these hops! Most people don't realize everything that goes on behind the scenes to keep a hop like this running smoothly. I really enjoyed myself this year, participated to the fullest extent, and I think it was the best hop yet! Congratulations on 219 entries! I wonder if it sets a new record? We will all wait for the wrap-up to find out! THANK YOU from the bottom of my kitty-loving heart!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a lot of fussy cutting. I'm sure your son loved it. I don't think I can say thank you better than Kitty did, so I echo her sentiments. I enjoy this hop so much. Thank you for hosting it and all the work that goes into it.
ReplyDeleteFantastic. Often seems as if the
ReplyDeletecats are more mature and could take
over the world. thanks for a
fantastic hop. Stay safe.
Awesome card! Love the cityscape with the big cat peering over it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the wonderful hop and for all the work you do to get it going each year! Thanks also to your awesome helpers and the fabulous sponsors too!
I don't mind fussy cutting, but not for something like this!! And I hate masking - lol!!!! This came out purrrfect, my friend, and so happy to see you actually made something!! I can never thank you enough for all you do for this fun hop ... and I can't believe it's over!!! I still have more kitty stamps to use ... lol (Kinda like 'my account may not show any more money, but I still have checks ...' LOL)
ReplyDeleteoh wow your card is so cool!

so creative. and you are incredible, I agree with KT Fit Kitty.
ReplyDeleteHello from the Hop.
Love this card. At first glance I thought there were plants in front, but when I clicked the link, I could see it was houses and it just made me smile!
ReplyDeleteVery creative and I like the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, Janis, and that image is just too much! What a great sentiment to go with that cat's face. The hop has been incredible again this year. I know how much work you must do to put this on for us each year and I hope you won't give it up any time soon I look forward to it each year. I'm heading over to the Main Page entries to finish my commenting. Too bad I can't get onto any of the Social Media sites (except FB and even one or two of those were blocked) and I miss out on the ones at Split Coast Stampers, too. I don't have accounts on any of those. Bless you and see you next year.
ReplyDeleteOoops, I forgot to thank you for playing with us at Crazy for Cats! :-D
DeleteFabulous card! I would never have thought to put those two images together, this is so creative. THANK YOU for an enjoyable and awesome week. The guest designers and participants have all provided so much inspiration, and I discovered some products that are new to me.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card Janis, a very clever design. I don’t like fussy cutting either! xx
ReplyDeleteTwo great stamps and love how you have used them together! Fun card and thanks for joining the Lost Coast Design Challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove your card Janis! I am glad that you got to make one and share it with us! I don't know how you found the time. It is the cutest card. The kitty reminds me of Godzilla for some reason; lol.. We know our cats are all plotting to take over the world! I was hoping I'd be able to comment on everything, but things got super busy, so I don't know if I will be able to, but I am loving all the cards I've seen and have commented when I can. Thank you so much for having this crop! I always enjoy it so much! And Congrats on having so many entries and participants! That is AWESOME! :)
ReplyDeleteOops, I meant Hop, not crop! Brain is sleepy!
ReplyDeleteBack again with my Cat Hop Commenting Hat on! I do love this card - that big cat is amazing, and you've done a great job pulling the two images in together! I know your son loved it!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
