Meowy Christmas

Hello Everyone,

It is Zsofi here with 2 cute and simple Christmas cards. I must admit 2 things: i am in love with cute critter stamps and i am so behind my holiday cards (can you imagine that i have not sent them out yet???Ahh!) I want to feel that i am not alone with this problem, so i try to design cards which are easy to re-create.

Today i pulled out an older set called Santa Paws. Adorable! I stamped the images on Copic friendly cardstock and coloured them with alcohol inks. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Then i die cut a stitched circle from  red and green cardstocks and also 2 white pieces with a Stitched Top Note die. 

I white heat embossed 2 of the sentiments from the stamp set on thin strips of red and green cardstocks and layered them over another 2 cardstock strips for a dimensional look. Apart from this my card is pretty flat this time, so it is gonna be easy to mail.

Finally i chose 2 patterned papers from the Jolly paper pad, covered 2 white A2 note cards with them and assembled the card. As a finishing touch i used a bit of clear shimmer, a black glaze pen on the nose, a white gel pen to add dots on the cats’ cheeks and some glossy accents on the presents and ornaments. Colourful, easy and cute – just perfect for the last minute crafters 🙂

I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration. I have used up a lot of my patterned papers so i am off to the Pink and Main store to replenish my stocks while they have the “Buy one get one free” deal! Merry Christmas to all of you!
