Crazy Cats Christmas Scene

Hello! Jen here today sharing a scene card using two November Hero Studio Monthly Minis!

Those Naughty Kitties are so cute and I love the sentiments. You don’t need to color all the details in the Tilted Christmas Tree for it to stand out. Leave it a solid color, blend on inks or even try paper piecing!

Instructions:

1. Create background using Brick Wall Stencil and Granite Core Ink. Splatter with White Acrylic Spray.

2. Die cut the November Hero Studio Fancy Dies of the Month from Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock. Color with alcohol markers.

3. Stamp the November Hero Studio Clear Set and Dies of the Month on Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock with Intens-fied Black Ink. Color with alcohol markers and cut out with included dies.

4. Tuck the kitties in the die cut background then add thin foam strips to edges, to hold image in place and throughout for stability.

5. Adhere the stenciled background to an A2 card base then place die cut over the background.

6. Stamp the sentiment using Cranberry Core Ink on Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock. Cut out and adhere to card with foam adhesive.

7. Add Crystal Clear Lacquer Pen to ornaments and lights and Sparkle Clear Lacquer Pen to the star. Let dry and finish with white gel pen highlights.

I don’t have cats but my mother does and they love climbing the Christmas tree so I know who’s getting this card! Normally, I would die cut the background several times and stack them for dimension but since I was adding the stamped images, I thought adhesive foam was better.
