The other day I placed an order with Joann's on line and this stamp - that I'd been wanting FOREVER - was on sale!!!!! Yipee!!! Make me a happy camper for sure. So, I ordered it along with a couple of other things and just couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I'd already planned out the perfect design, sentiment, the works. The package came in the mail and I ripped it open.....started searching for that cute little 2X2 (approximate) Penny Black stamp! Nope, not in there.......kept digging and this big mama came out! WHOA! That is one BIG stamp!!! I never even checked the size of the stamp when I ordered, just assumed it was what I wanted. (Never assume anything Lynn!) Anyway.......it's big but it's still a cutie! I didn't add much color except to the hat of course, a little to the holly, and a smidgen of gray to the cat. Added some Wink of Stella to the hat and that was about it. Done deal!
Another Christmas card completed!
Thanks for stopping by..........

I so agree Lynn, I'm always happy to see company come, but even more happy when they leave. lol I love, love this cute kitty card!! I also love that the kitty is big and takes up a lot of room on the card, heck it makes making cards fast and simple!! Love his bright red hat and the ho, ho, ho in red also. This is just to dang cute and how fun that you have another Christmas card for your stash. Hugs, Brenda
Awwww I love this cute little cat with the Santa hat :)
A fabulously fun holiday card, Lynn! I love this chunky cat in his Santa hat and holly bow tie!
I love it! You know kitties have to have a big presence, and this cutie is no exception.
Sometimes the bigger - the better. I think this darling creature with this big hat is perfect especially with the nice big red sentiment. I adore this card. Have a good day.
I love shopping at on line Jo annes, always can get a good bargain when they have their sales. I just love this card and yes this image is adorable.
Mm Lyn have done that too when bought online.. one soloution is to stamp it out scan, save to computer and resize it in Word to size you want eg 2 x 2 + select a text box + insert image all done in Word.
It works a treat!! Shaz in Oz x

We didn't have company, but were busy, so I'm 2 posts behind in commenting too! Playing catchup this afternoon, after paying bills & filing this am. Your kitty is so doggoned cute. The size of it turned out well for your card...it made the front of the card! How cool is that! It's a delightful image, and love his bright Santa hat. Good job! TFS & hugs. Rest up.

Our trick is to have a little house with no room for people to stay ;) lol! This is what you call one of those Instant Card stamps - I LOVE it, it's adorable! And just think how quickly cards will come together!
This big cat makes the perfect CAS card with his large size! I can see why you wanted him! It's adorable, and I darn near missed seeing this one. My Bloglovin feed hasn't been sending timely notices and the feed for this one never came at all!
isn't this just a cute Christmas card and so perfect for a cat lover-I had to laugh at your story-I have done things like that myself-we have company coming this weekend and I already have the same feeling
I know it's not what you thought you ordered but this is fantastic! That kitty is so sweet!
Hope you have recovered!
Love this cat and doesn't PB have some of the greatest stamps? This Christmassy guys looks great with all the white.
