SCACD Holiday Inspiration Day!


Welcome to the SCACD Holiday Inspiration Day!  Members of the DT and Friends are getting together to showcase some of the fabulous stamps available exclusively at SCACD for your holiday projects.  This is not really a Hop, but you're gonna want to see them all, so please visit the SCACD Blog for the entire list of participants.  I am showcasing the adorable Celestial Catby Carmen Medlin, just one of the fabby felines available in the Animals, Plants, Holiday, Skellies and All Other Digi Section of the store.  They're colored with Copics to match my last piece of hoarded DP (so old I'm not even sure who it's by any more, Cosmo Cricket, maybe?) fussy cut and popped a top a layered and embossed Christmas Tree. Looks like their feline frolic may be getting a bit out of hand.  LOL



And inside...oh,oh!  I'm sure all the cat owners out there can relate.  The sentiment is computer generated and the broken bauble is a Spellbinders die that met with my mean pair of scissors.  Susanna laughed and seemed a bit puzzled when I told her which stamp I was using, but tell me he doesn't look like a Christmas kitty with that stocking cap on (and a naughty one, at that!). Hee Hee!



Although the inside of the card is flat, here's the dimensional shot.  They're literally leaping off the page and into your heart, well mine, anyway.  I sure do love me some kitties!  Now hurry off to the SCACD Blog for a full list of those posting today.  They're sure to get your holiday mojo going.  

I'm adding this to the Unruly Paper Arts 12 Days of Christmas Linky Party (Day 4), A Song in My He{art} "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"  (probably my all time fave! Inspired by the lyrics "Hang a shining star upon the highest bough".), Crafting by Designs All Things Christmas, Crafting for All Seasons 'Tis the Season, Simon Says Monday Holiday Cards, Simon Says Wednesday Christmas /Holidays,  Eureka Stamps Celebration challenge, Crafty Sentiments ATG, Papertake Weekly ATG, Animal Friends December Challenge ATG with an Animal,  the Outlawz Twisted Thursday ATG/Christmas Magic and the DLArt December Linky Challenge.

  6. Totally fun!!! Love your theme and the inside is perfect. You made your kitties adorable, I love their stocking hats. I'm so glad mine are older now and I do not have any problems with them anymore. Love seeing your creation.

  9. Oh, my stars, Donna, you made me giggle! What a fabulous idea, design, and fun rhymed sentiment! (I used to have kitties, and they not only liked to get into the tree. I had some get inside our baby grand piano and pull off the felt hammers! Kitties are inherently naughty, teehee!)
    You made a fabulous tree--love it! And love the fun kitties, your coloring, and fantastic card interior! :^)
    Hugs, Penny

  10. This card is so fabulously fun Donna, I love the adorable kitties, and yes I often lose an ornament or two with two cats in the house at Christmas. I love how you have decorated the inside too! Thanks for being an avid party goer this month at Unruly! Danie xx
