Sometimes you need a really quick Christmas card in a hurry. That's what I have for you today. I think it took me all of about 25 minutes to make. For me that's pretty quick! I have a friend who just loves cats. Even though she has only one at the moment, she refers to herself as that "crazy cat lady." I think she would like my card.
To start, I cut Miss Kitty from the CottageCutz new Pets release from white card stock.
In addition to Miss Kitty, I cut just the holly leaves and berries from Dakota the Husky, replacing the flower on her hat with the holly leaves. I then colored all the pieces and constructed my cat. I wanted the paws to stick out a bit, so I ran a stylus around the back of them and stuck tiny foam pop dots on the back. I think you can see the dimension.
To reduce a little time, I used a pre-cut card base and then cut a piece of Christmas plaid paper 1 1/2" x 5 1/2" and die-cut the Merry Christmas from a pre-glued scrap of red card stock, which I had previously run through my Xyron sticker maker.
I just glued the plaid paper across the card, added some foam pop dots to Miss Kitty to pop her up, and adhered the sentiment. I was done -- 25 minutes, start to finish!
