Celebrate the Season Christmas Countdown

"Christmas Eve" Christmas Card

and

"O Kitty Tree" Gift Tag

by Leigh

 

For the finale of our Celebrate the Season Christmas Countdown to Christmas Day inspiration I've got a PURRtastic Christmas Card and Gift Tag set to share featuring kitties and senties from the Festive Felines 2024 Christmas Collection of FURstive kitty cuteness!

 See the release of this PURRtastic collection HERE!

 

Bring the excitement of Christmas Eve to your festive makes with the adorable Xmas Cat Tree digi stamp...

 

 

 

....and the Xmas Cat Tee Senties set of 4 PURRfect kitty themed sentiments.

 

 

I coloured the adorable Xmas Cat Tree digi stamp in Adobe Fresco, printed and fussy cut out with scissors leaving a narrow white border that makes the image pop nicely against decorative backgrounds and also mirrors the white border of the folded card.

 

I made the side fold card from heavy weight white cardstock and cut a panel of Crafter's Companion Green Glitter cardstock 1/4 inch smaller and for my main background a sheet of 12 x 12 Crafter's Companion Christmas themed cardstock.  

 

 

 I cut my background panel from a portion of the 12 x 12 sheet with trees and a stack of Christmas pressies and edged it with Spectrum Noir Midas Gold pigment ink.

 

 

I also edged the folded white card base with gold pigment ink too for a touch of distressed elegance.

  

 

For lots of pretty festive sparkle I applied Diamond Stickles glitter to kitty's Star, the Tree Ornaments and the Tree Branches.

 

 

 I adhered Xmas Cat Tree to the card with foam squares for some fun dimension.

 

 

From the Xmas Cat Tee Senties set I chose the

"Christmas Eve...A Time of Mystery and Expectations" senti 

which I printed and fussy cut with an offset with my Silhouette Cameo electronic cutting machine then adhered to the card with a foam strip.

 

 

I embellished the scene with two button snowflakes and a tiny snowflake.

 

 

 The finishing touch is the tiny die cut bow from the Tim Holtz Santa's Helper die set cut from the green glitter card and a scrap of the background cardstock and adhered it to the tip of kitty's tail.  So cute!!!!

 

 

 For my 2nd make today I've got an adorable Gift Tag featuring the mischievous Christmas CATastrophe kitty and another senti from the Xmas Cat Tee Senties set!

 

 

I coloured Christmas CATastrophe kitty in Adobe Fresco, printed and fussy cut the cutie out with scissors leaving a narrow white border.

 

 

 I used a Scrapbook.com tag die to cut the tag base out of the Green Glitter cardstock and then I used the same die to cut the background panel out of the reverse side of the double-sided decorative cardstock I used on the card and trimmed it 1/8 inch smaller with scissors and adhered the tags together with glue.

 

 

I then adhered the Christmas CATastrophe kitty to the tag with foam squares and embellished with snowflakes and a wonderful selection of metallic fibers.

 

I completed my Gift Tag with the PURRtastic "O Kitty Tree....How Lovely Are Thy Branches" senti also included in the Xmas Cat Tee Senties set.

 I printed it and fussy cut with an offset using my Silhouette Cameo electronic cutting machine and adhered it to the tag with foam squares.
