Make a colorful handmade Christmas card for the cat lover in your life and give them a MEOWY Christmas!
Today we have the more puuuurrrrfect holiday card from our designer, Lisa! She has created a colorful cat card that is giving the sweetest vibes. Lisa said, “I love using products that aren’t necessarily holiday products to create holiday cards. And the Christmas Cats stamp set inspired me to use the Paw Prints Stencil with some colors that give it a festive feel.” We love her creativity and we absolutely adore how this turned out! Follow along for the steps to recreate this adorable Christmas card for cat lovers!
- I started by stenciling the white panel using the 4206 Paw Prints 6×6 Stencil with Whisper Ink from Color Fuse Set #9, Grass from Color Fuse Set #11, and Bubblegum from Color Fuse Set #5 using Detail Blending Brushes. These small brushes make it so easy to be strategic with ink colors without having to mask the stencil.
- Next the images from the 36002 Christmas Cats 4×8 Stamp Set were stamped, cut and colored.
- Then I cut out that gorgeous fancy oval from the from the 5600-02d Decorative Rectangle Die set from a shimmery pink paper as well as the bow from the 5721d Large Stocking With Bow Die. When I have some pretty paper, I like to cut a piece to use as a mat for the main layer and die cut pieces from the center to get more out of a sheet.
- A piece of white cardstock was cut with an oval from the 5030d Nested Scallop Oval Nested Dies and a sentiment from the Christmas Cats set was stamped onto it using the Bubblegum ink.
- The fancy oval was adhered to the Paw Print background. Then the sentiment piece was popped up over it and the bow was glued to the top.
- Finally, the images from Christmas Cats were popped up and added in a mini scene around the sentiment piece.
