Hello all and thank you for joining us to help celebrate Simon’s new Create Joy release. It is yet another fabulous release with lots of gorgeous products to play with and create with.
I’m excited to share a card created using Christmas Cats stamp and die set. As a huge cat person and cat lover I’m super happy there’s now a stamp set that features two different cats. My husband and I have 2 kitties and they are just like the kitties in the set – one is round-ish, the other is long-ish lol!
Like this project? Pin it and save for later!
Here’s a photo of our kitties, they are both black with a bit of brown and grey mixed in. I am yet to learn how to color them using Copics for my cards. It nice to practice a bit.
To create the card I’m sharing today I started by stamping a partial background using the antlers image from the stamp set and brown ink. I also stamped a ball of yarn using red, I shared this photo on my instagram feed the other day:
I stamped my kitty using Memento Tuxedo black ink onto white cardstock, colored using Copic Markers (used C5, C7 and C9) also also stamped and colored a present and ear muffs from another stamp set. I used matching dies and cut everything out, foam mounted together and foam mounted onto my card base:
I had to add a touch of glittery snow to my project so I heat embossed the present and ear muffs using Sparkle embossing powder from Hero Arts. Love the result! To add a touch of red I heat embossed a ball of yarn about 10 times onto red cardstock, cut it out using a matching die and foam mounted onto my project.
Are you a cat or a dog person? I’d love to know. I am also hoping to add a video showing you how to make this card soon. So stay tuned!

OMG! This card made me smile as soon as I saw it! The random antler placement is Purrrrfect!
I gotta say that I’ve learned how to make my own backgrounds, thanks to YOU!!! I LOOOVEDDD this card!!
I’m a dog person … but your cat card is delightful!
You cat is so cute! And card amazing 🙂
Love the pretty background you created
Love the cat card!! 🙂
oh your kitties are adorable, long hair and black is the most difficult thing to colour!, Mine are shorthair black with some white patches, the boy has a spade on his chest and the girl a heart, so cute, but difficlut to colour, so i usually make up cats 😉 the use of the antlers for your backgroudn is genius!
Oh what a fun design, I love how you created that background!!!
Like the wonderfully, unique background. Pretty cats. I have a dog named Daisy.

trying to post my comment, but seem to be having trouble! Adorable cats, i love!
Lovely cats and so is your card. What for a race they are?
We have 3 cats and this is my favorite set of the release. I love what you’ve done with it, your card is adorable. 2 of our cats are black and I have never figured out how to color a black cat without it looking like a silhouette of a cat. I’m not sure there is a way!
What a clever and creative card!
Love this kinda monochrome look!
Your card is so cute (and so are your kittens)!
Oh, how purrrrr-fectly adorable! TFS 🙂
nice work!
Love your cards and your cats!
This is the third time I’ve looked at this post. Its absolutley adorable!!!
