2022 CAT LOVERS HOP - Guidelines and FAQs
Be sure to read through the guidelines & FAQs for how this hop works.

Here is another look at today's hop project.


My inspiration for this card is my daughter's kitty.  Here she is.

Helpful project tips:

Here are helpful tips for making this card.  To begin, stamp the cat and the sentiment using Copic friendly ink or inks for use with your coloring medium.  Next. color the cat.  Then, die-cut or trim the cat panel and the sentiment panel.  I used both tag and heart dies by Unity.  Also, add a red trim around the heart using a marker or ink.  Next, trim or cut a frame layer using patterned paper.  Finally, layer it all onto the card base with added ribbon, to finish.
