(Not) Morning Cats Need Coffee for Love to Craft Challenge #82 for September/October 2024

 

It has been another packed few months - where has the year gone, I can't believe it is already September! We have Father's Day here in Australia today - So hoping all Fathers have a wonderful day!

For challenge #82 for September/October 2024 of the Love to Craft Challenge Blog I made a card from the June 2024 KOTM plus some other stamps, dies and paper from La-La Land Crafts. 

Here is my card for this month:

As it is the June 2024 KOTM, unless you subscribe or purchased this particular kit, the (Not) Morning Cats Clear Stamp Set is not even released yet! :) 

But, the rest of the products are:

• Linked Squares Die
• Scalloped Sentiment Labels Die
• Going Places Paper Pack
• Java Nice Day Clear Stamp Set

The cats were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured with the following Copics: 

• left cat - W0, W1, W3, W5, B01, C5, C7, C9, white gel pen
• right cat - N0, N1, N3, N5, G82, white gel pen
• cat with the mug - E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E47, B91, C5, C7, C9, white gel pen
• mug - B14, B16, B18

Here is a photo of the cats close up before I fussy cut them:

I stamped the latte art from Java Nice Day Clear Stamp Set on to a piece of the Going Places Paper Pack using my MISTI and Tea Dye Distress Ink. I die cut the Linked Squares Die from Kraft cardstock and I already had one of the labels from Scalloped Sentiment Labels Die die cut from white cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from (Not) Morning Cats Clear Stamp Set on to the label using my MISTI and Nautical Blue Memento ink.

To make the card, I adhered the stamped piece of the Going Places Paper Pack on to a Kraft Square card from Envelope Solutions. I then adhered everything else on to the card.

Here is another photo of the finished card:
