Something New, Something Old: Snowflake Cat Christmas Card

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's card's prompt is Lawn Fawn's current challenge on mashing up old and new Lawn Fawn Christmas sets. I used the Build-a-Cat dies for my new item, and the Magic Iris Snowflake Add-on, Here We Go A-Waddling stamp set and Snow Day Remix 6x6 petite paper pack for my old item.

Before die cutting the cat, I watched the video tutorial in the website to familiarize me with the pieces of the die set. I created a white cat for my card. 

I die cut the snowflake on one of the patterned papers and on white cardstock. I adhered the white snowflake die cut on the back of the patterned paper snowflake die cut to make it sturdy.

I trimmed a white pearl cardstock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I die cut a circle window on this panel using a circle die slightly larger than the circle opening of the snowflake iris die cut. 

The snowflake die set came with a smaller snowflake die that does not cut but only impresses the snowflake on paper. I used this die to add snowflakes to the white pearl cardstock panel. I flicked aqua mica on this panel and allowed it to dry. Once dry, I adhered the snowflake to this panel, making sure that the circle openings match up.

I slipped the cat through the circle opening from the back of the panel and adhered it. I covered the window with a red patterned paper from the pack. I zhushed the ends of the snowflake to add some depth. I adhered gems to the snowflake for added sparkle.

I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock using a tide pool dye ink. I re-stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink. I poured clear embossing powder to the sticky ink then heat set it. I trimmed this into a sentiment strip. I trimmed two more strips and adhered this to the back of the sentiment strip to add dimension to it. I adhered this to the bottom part of the panel. 

I hope you like today's card, I had fun creating this. I am also happy to be able to join in Lawn Fawn's challenge again. I have been MIA in crafting challenges and I miss it a lot. 

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
