A Card with the Whittle Adorable Kitty Kit
by Janet Katz
Here is my second Whittle Adorable Kitty Kit card this month. I knew I wanted to use the walking cat die that comes in the kit and had the idea to use it on the top third of the card. I also liked the sitting cat die and how they would face each other if I used them together. I wanted to incorporate red and black as they are my recipient's alma mater school colors. I die cut the two cats from heavy white cardstock and colored them with a variety of alcohol ink markers to give them the appropriate cat stripes. I used a strip of black ultra-fine glitter paper and one portion of the largest frame made by the Double Scalloped Stitched Frame die cut from red cardstock as the trim. I put this trim at the top of a piece of red and white gingham paper that I cut to cover the remaining 2/3 of the card base.
I adhered the cats with foam adhesive and realized I had some space left over between the two, but not enough for another cat. The largest of two-hearts die that is conveniently included with the Kitty Kit fit perfectly in this spot, and cutting it from red cardstock was just the answer I was looking for.
Next, I used the stamps from the Kitty Kit to heat emboss You're Purrfect in white onto black cardstock. I adhered this just below my trim. Finally, I wanted a "stream" of pretty red and white confetti to trail down from the sentiment. I used red sequins, the smaller hearts from the included two-hearts die, and other white, silver and iridescent sequins from my stash to create this.
I had a lot of fun making this card. Do you make cards with animals in them?
