CAT ON A FENCE CARD
I’m thrilled to kick off a brand-new series of fun card tutorials today. This series is all about getting creative with the Stampin’ Up By Your Side All Inclusive Kit. If you love cats and dogs, this kit is perfect for you. It features adorable designs and die cuts that you can mix and match depending on whether your recipient is a dog person or a cat person.
Alternate Card Idea
For this particular card, I decided to blend elements from the By Your Side Kit with the Stampin’ Up Under the Moon stamp set. I created a captivating full moon that hangs above the die-cut kitty, giving the card a magical, nighttime feel. To complete the scene, I crafted a charming fence using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper. And of course, no night sky would be complete without some sparkling die-cut stars!
Free PDF Instructions
To make this crafting journey even easier, I’ve created a free PDF with step-by-step instructions, measurements, and a complete supply list. You can find the link to the PDF in the INSTRUCTIONS section below. I hope it helps you enjoy the process as much as I did!
