Not long to catnap....

Hi again! Got lots of Knitty Kitty things to share with you today, thought I would write up a blog post covering as much as possible in synopsis, including the new Knitty Kitty Digi Catnap digistamp (that was a Facebook Group freebie before Xmas).

So to start with, three sponsoring news stories! 

I am very happy to be the featured digi artist in the current edition of Through the Craft Room Door.  The TTCRD DT and the KKD DT have done some amazing projects for it! If you subscribe to the mag you get the full inspo collection but some of the DT members have posted their cards in the KKD Facebook Group too!

If you subscribe to the magazine you will get two free Knitty Kitty Digis! They are only free to subscribers.

Through the Craft Room Door is a bi-monthly publication dedicated to bringing you exciting projects to inspire your card making and scrap book endeavors! In addition to articles, product reviews and kid friendly crafts, each issue introduces new or well known digi artists and their works. If you are interested in a subscription, details can be found on the website.

Second sponsoring news! 

Knitty Kitty Digis is also sponsoring at The Crafty Addicts Challenge Blog this month. Their DT have made some super projects using KKD stamps! If you would like to take part, just attach one of you projects to the Challenge Post! There is a prize of 3 KKD images!

Third sponsoring news!

Knitty Kitties are also sponsoring The Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge!  Very happy that their DT will be posting lots of super projects in the Knitty Kitty facebook group this month. Have you ever been and explored the Outlawz challenges? So much going on there and a really active and supportive crafty social group! 

And Finally the Card!

Right, and finally today I want to share with you the card I have made using the "Catnap" digistamp from Knitty Kitty Digis

As normal this is polychromo pencils on kraft card. I print the image and greeting directly onto a smooth kraft card. I make the digi image pale so I can go over the lines when I colour the fur. (Link to my fur colouring step by step photos -->  here.)

I added a tiny spot of white posca pen to the eyes and nose. Background papers from the stash and bling stars are from Paperchase. Font is Angelina.

Thanks very for making it to the bottom of this very long post! Nice to have so much Knitty Kitty related content to share with you today! I have some new stamps to share soon too! 

Cat Lover's Blog Hop & Dr. Mew!

Hi again all! Am pleased to share with you another Knitty Kitty Giveaway as part of the  Cat Lover's blog hop!  This time DT member Fikreta Posavec is running it on her blog as part of the hop. You can find her blog post here or click on her kitty!

As Fiki is a big Dr.Who fan we decided to make Dr. Mew, or I also like to call him, Kat Smith! Lol!

Here is the super project Fiki made with him:

And here is the stamp!

I am hoping to make a few more digi's to use with him so you can recreate your very own Dr.Mew scene!

Please join Fiki on her page for a chance to win, and also please check out the Cat Lover's Blog Hop! Chance to win another exclusive KKD image there!

Cat Lover's Blog Hop!

And Janis has already made a super project with him which I would like to show you too!

If you would like to keep up with KKD giveaways which will be included in the hop and the new digistamps that have been made for it, it's worth joining the Knitty Kitty Digi's Facebook Group and I will post up, or the team will, when new giveaways are occuring!

Knitting!

Back with a quick alert post! Just want to let you know that if you were keen to find out about how I create my knitting texture I now have added a free photo demo of what I do to my Tutorials (link above). But here is also a direct link to it : HERE

I have also made a new digi (for sale at a special low price) for you to practice on if you don't already have a suitable stamp. She is called Knitted Kitty. And she is the same special price even if you don't want to do the knitted texture thing so here is a direct link to her in the shop: HERE

If you want to have a go at following the technique and encounter any problems I am always happy to discuss colouring, so pop me a msg or email, or comment on this post! I am also going to add a couple of new photos where I think a better photo would be in order, so all your feedback is appreciated, I'd like to act on your suggestions. I enjoyed doing this demo, so I hope you do too.

Cat's Chorus?

Am so lucky to work on the LBB DT where it's ok to do a bit of a collab! I know designers collaborating, who'd have thought it? lol! (This post is cross posted on the LBB Blog).

For my DT choice today I have the super Caroling Sophie and.... she has some Knitty Kitty friends!

I loved this image of Sophie but thought she could do with some friends, hard to carol properly when you're snuggled deep in a cosy scarf! :) And we all know what delightful voices cats have when they sing!

I added the caroling cats digistamp to Sophie on the computer and then printed them out onto the topper together. I coloured them with polychromo pencils on kraft.  I added some Glossy Accents and Stickles as well as a few bits of posca pen. The papers are all from the stash. Font is Candy Buzz BTN.

Here is a bit of  a close up of the kitties! 

I haven't released them as a digistamp yet, but you can buy super Caroling Sophie in the LBB Shop Now!

The Crafty Addicts Adhoc Facebook Challenge!

Hi Folks! This will be the last Facebook Adhoc Challenge that Helen and I will be running! At the end of the year both the Facebook and Blog Challenges will be taken over by someone new and we are retiring from running challenges for a bit! So I am very happy that I was also able to sponsor this last facebook challenge with my Knitty Kitty Digis! (If you enter you could win 3 KKD images!)

And here is my DT inspiration project - Holly Poocherson!

Here she is as a digi so you can tell what she looked like before I added texture!

She's actually based on my dog Holly, so I coloured her in as a chocolate labrador, just like my poocherson!

I used polychromo pencils on kraft card. The font is Impact Label Reversed.

Going to have to reserve this one to give to my Mum! I am quite safe saying it here, she never reads my blog! I think she will appreciate the waggy nature of this christmas card!

My sponsor badge.

The Katmodo Dragon!

New release at Knitty Kitty Digis! Another chap in the "Furry Tails Set" for you, and he is a Katmodo Dragon! :)

He is a dramatic (can't think of a better word) combination of cat and dragon! :D He roars!

Here he is as a digistamp and he is available in the Knitty Kitty Etsy Shop Now for $2!

I printed him out onto kraft card and added a greeting in Northwood High Font. I coloured him with polychromos, and then added white posca pen, stickles and glossy accents!

If you would like to see what the Design Team have done with him, or you want more details or to chat, please click the link to join us on the Knitty Kitty Facebook Page!
