A simple little cat die will be the sweetest addition to your autumn cards. Add the purrrrfect touch to your next scene card and let these simple little felines roam about.
For today’s card, our designer Donna created an almost entirely die-cut autumn scene, complete with falling leaves and a couple of black cats which Donna shared, were inspired by her own cats! We love adding these simple cat die cuts to your scene cards because it adds life and movement to a paper creation. The different way these cats are positioned gives the feel of a lazy fall day, and wandering around, soaking up the crisp fall morning. Also, these black cats add a bit of a Halloween vibe to this design, which also reminds us of Fall. This ‘note of thanks’ is super cute, and we love the bright teal background with the orange foliage-fun, fun fun! Follow along and see how to incorporate cats into your autumn scene cards.
- To begin, I die-cut all of the elements for my fall scene from colored cardstock. I cut the 5162-04D Tiny Leaves #1 Die from yellow cardstock, the 5170D Winter Tree Die from light brown cardstock, and the 5215-05D Pumpkins and Ivy Die from orange and green cardstock. I also cut the 5152-01D Picket Fence Die from white cardstock and the 5142-09D Cats Die from black cardstock.
- Next, I added coordinating ink to most of the die cuts for a little extra shading and dimension. Once everything was inked, I set those pieces aside to work on the background.
- For the background, I die cut my favorite teal cardstock using the largest 5176D Nested Deckle Rectangle Die. I love this die, as it creates such an interesting detail around the background.
- I stamped the sentiment from 36057 Thank You Stamp in the upper left corner using black ink.
- Then I arranged my little fall scene using liquid adhesive. I scattered a few leaves to create that falling fall look in my background and finished the scene with the cats.
- To finish the card, I added foam adhesive behind the completed panel and adhered it to a white A2 sized card base.
