Festive Kitty Cards by Jennifer Jackson

Have a Meowy Christmas!

Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing with you some adorable kitty cards I created featuring our Card Layout 5 Die and our Christmas Party Paper Pad.

To create my cards I started by picking out a few pieces of patterned paper from our Christmas Party Paper Pad. I cut them all out using the Card Layout 5 Die. I also chose a few pieces of solid colored cardstock that matched the paper colors and cut them out with the same die set. Now I had lots of options on how to combine the pieces. 

For my first card I mixed and matched several of the different patterns together with a mint green frame.

For this card I chose the image from our Newton's Gift Stamp Set. This image has a blank tag on the front of the gift and a bunch of different sentiments that fit inside! It's perfect for creating a custom message for your card. For mine I chose "Fa la la la MEOW!" So cute! I colored the image with watercolor markers and cut it out using the Newton's Gift Die Set. and then layered it onto the card over a circle cut out with vellum using our Circle Frames Die Set.  

For my next card I used more of the pieces that I had die cut with the  Card Layout 5 Die. I used pink cardstock for the outer frame edge and layered the whole thing onto a red card base. 

The image on this card is from our Newton's Stocking Stamp Set. This set has an empty stocking that you can customize the sentiment on. I chose "Santa PAWS is coming!" and then colored the image with watercolor markers. I cut the image out using the Newton's Stocking Die Set and added it to the center of the card. 

Last, I created one more card using pieces I had left from what I had cut out using the Card Layout 5 Die  

For this card I used a light green frame and mixed in the solid green pieces along with the pink trees and stripes. For the image used the cozy image of the kitty and puppy in a chair from our Christmas Nap Stamp Set. I colored the image using watercolor markers and cut it out with the Christmas Nap Die Set. I embossed the sentiment onto a banner that was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set. 

I hope my projects today have shown you how easy it is to make a bunch of cards using the Card Layout 5 Die. Once you cut it out a few times you have a bunch of pieces you can mix and match to make a variety of fun cards. Just add an image to the center and your card is done! So easy! I still have a few pieces left over after I made these three cards. I store my extra pieces in a ziploc bag and then I have them ready to go the next time I have some creative time! 

I hope this has inspired you to try out some of our card layout dies! 

Happy Holiday crafting!
