You Are The Cat's Meow Card

Happy Sunday!
This past week, I was busy playing with Joset Designs newest collection of dies and created this cute You Are The Cat's Meow Card, perfect to give to that cat lover in your life. To create my card, I've used dies from Joset Designs, the Planner Essentials collection and Els van de Burgt Studio, as well as patterned paper from ModaScrap. You'll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my card at home.


Using a blending tool with foam, blend Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink over a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. From the coloured cardstock piece, die cut the fish, paws, mouth, inside ears and tummy from the Cat die.


Die cut the eyes out of black cardstock.


Using a blending tool with foam, blend Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Ink over a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. From the coloured cardstock piece, die cut the head, body, legs, outside ears and tail from the Cat die. Ink the edges of the die cut images using Hickory Smoke Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Using a blending tool with foam, blend Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink over a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. From the coloured cardstock piece, die cut the whiskers from the Cat die.


Choose a piece of patterned paper from the Pink Cotton Candy Paper Pack. Die cut the bow from the cat die out of the patterned paper. Ink the edges of the bow using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam.



Die cut a 3/4" Stitched Fishtail Banner out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Apply Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink to the You Are The Cat's Meow stamp and stamp onto the banner. Trim the banner down to 2 3/4". Ink the edges of the banner using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Die cut the small tag out of White Soft Finish Cardstock from the Planner Essentials - 2 die. Ink the edges of the tag using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Pink Cotton Candy Paper Pack, choose two patterned paper pieces. Die cut the 4 1/4" Stitched Square out of one of the patterned papers. Die cut the 3 3/4" Stitched Square out of the other patterned paper piece. Ink the edges of the squares using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Celebration Flags dies, choose one of the flags. Choose another piece of patterned paper from the Pink Cotton Candy Paper Pack. Die cut the flags out of the patterned paper.


Adhere the 3 3/4" stitched square to the 4 1/4" stitched square.


Adhere your cat together. Add the white dots to the eyes using a white gel pen. Add the mouth for the cat using a black gel pen.


Adhere the sentiment banner 3/8" from the bottom of the tag and 1 3/8" from the right of the tag. Foam square the cat to the left hand side of the tag, making sure it sits slightly over top of the sentiment banner. Adhere the fish bone underneath the sentiment banner.


Adhere the flags to the top right hand corner of the stitched squares. To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 4 1/4" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.


Here are a few closeups photos of the finished card.
