Hello there crafty friend!
It's day 4 of the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2026 Linky Party!! I'm excited to share another fun holiday card that I'm adding to my Christmas stash! This time I played with THE cutest little kitty from our fabulous Sponsor Taylored Expressions!
I used the adorable {and retired, sadly} Holiday Grumplings. I adore this kitty!! I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him up with Copic markers.
Copic markers used:
Kitty: YR20, YR21, YR15, YR27, R00, R20, C0, C2
Hat / Scarf: BG70, BG01, BG72, C0, C2, Y11, YR20, YR21
I paired up the kitty with the beautiful Whispers of Winter 6x6 Paper Pad from Ink N' Splatter available at our wonderful Sponsor Digi Doodle Studios. I die cut the focal panel using the Make a Tag {die set} from Sponsor Unity Stamp Co.
Inspiration for my card came from one of our past sketches... BYSHC Sketch 7. This one is a favorite that I come back to often! I used the measurements from the sketch for my card.
The sentiment is from same Holiday Grumplings stamp set. I heat embossed it with Anti-Static Powder Tool and Sugar Cube White Pigment ink from Sponsor Taylored Expressions along with Alabaster White Embossing Powder from Unity. I trimmed it and adhered it to the focal tag and then popped it up on the card. Easy peasy.
If you haven't already, stop by the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2026 Linky Party to check out all the wonderful Holiday inspiration being shared!! I am loving ALL of the cards so far! I hope you have an INKtastic day!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Inky Hugs,

Such an adorable card, I love this sketch too. Why do the Grumplings have to be retired? lol love them.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Von Marie! I know, right?! So sad... :(
DeleteLove this one, Crystal. I always hate to see fun products become retired. Love the hat on this kitty and your choice of paper behind it. The placement of the white dots is perfect. I wondered if you did it yourself!
