Welcome to my final post for the 2018 Cat Lovers Hop! Yes, your inboxes will finally get a break from this cat card blitz. >^.^< Wohoo! We’ve surpassed our previous record and have over 200 entries in the hop already this year and there’s still half a day to go!!
This card sums up my feelings about the Cat Lovers Hop pretty well!
For a change, I’m going to start with the back of the card:
Knowing me, I’ll probably write a few funny lines back here like, “I wonder where I put the car keys?” or “I wonder where I left my glasses?” : )
When you open it up, it becomes a stand-up card easel-y (I just HAD to put the pun in!) using that pretty easel base by Anna Griffin, :
To get the leaves filled out with some depth and texture, I die cut the ornate frame and then embossed it into some green cardstock, too. I fussy cut along the outside, cutting straight across the top where the easel die would be attached. Then I affixed the die-cut piece over it and colored it up with chalks.
To hold the card in place, I put some felt cobblestones on the path. Tah-dah!
I was going to color Tigger, but thought it might be easier to just cut out the parts I would need in the corresponding colors and emboss the background for his stripes. It involved a little bit of fussy cutting but looks grrreat (oops! wrong tiger!).
Here he is bobbing around in all his glory on that tail that’s made out of springs… Bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!:

Well, that brings the 2018 Cat Lovers Hop to a close – for me, anyway…. this cat’s tuckered out! Don’t forget to get your comments in for all of the giveaways before 11:59pm Sunday, October 27, 2018. For those of you counting the Spellbinders dies used, this completes my projects (Hint: there were non used on this card. lol!) I had someone ask if it was dies or sets, so I’ll clarify: It’s the number of different SETS. You can tell them apart by their names! Please be sure to look at my actual blog posts and not your email versions as I had to update a couple. Sorry.
TTFN (for those who don’t know, that’s Ta-Ta For Now from Tigger (and me))

Enabler alert: Scrapbooking Made Simple has the Tigger dies by Character World! (I’m not sure if that’s one of the ones that was an oops… it wasn’t supposed to be in the US yet… I snatched that one and Nemo to make sure I got them because when she sells out of whatever one it was, they won’t be available anywhere else here. Plus they were marked down a little when they first came out as she usually does in her ‘what’s new category) BTW, they’re a mom & pop shop, and shipping takes a few weeks, Just FYI, If you’re not familiar with them, she also has Chocolate and Magic cardstock which is like the Core’dinations color-core that sands to a different color, which is no longer available. And her Simply Defined double sided adhesive is just as good as Scor-Tape and a bit cheaper, too. Again, just FYI)

Wonderful dancing Tigger on this beautiful easel card! Love the ‘wonder’ sentiment, but love your funny lines even more :). Your kitty cat posts have been very inspirational this week, D.Anne and made me think that I should venture out of my comfort zone to try some kinetic, interactive cards like yours. Thanks also for helping to set up the hop – the week has gone too quickly, but its been so much fun! Time to pay some attention to my family and get some housework done…lol! I’m looking forward to doing it all over again this time next year! Happy crafting and see you around bogland. xx
