CATS - Looking out the Window
A complete card-making set with a slightly vintage, watercolour effect, and perfect for any cat lover.
12 x A4 pages in total, plus a tutorial sheet, this kit comprises eight 6x6 card fronts showing gorgeous cats sitting on window ledges. There are lace curtains and a lovely outside view. In addition to this, I've given you an A4 background sheet of lace, so you can use this as a backing sheet, or print on card and simply fold in half for an A5 card.The card fronts are 6x6 (at hi res 300dpi, you can easily resize to 8x8 without any loss of detail). Resize down to5x5, and these will fit onto an A5 card as well!
I've also given you a pretty, lacy piece, with the centre plain for your own message. There is also a lovely outdoor view (two verisons, one with a distressed edge and one plain one) so you could layer this up to make a window card, with the flaps opening to show the scene underneath.
I have INCLUDED a tutorial for this in with this kit. I've also added the cats separately as decoupage details, curtains for the outdoor scene as additional decoupage elements. Also lots of sentiments, including humorous ones like 'Dogs have owners, cats have staff' and more.

I've made two cards from this kit!
CARD 1 - PAWS FOR THOUGHT.
This is the window card - two views, showing the window partially open, then a full close-up. (Instructions for this are free with the kit).
I used the A4 lace background (in the kit) cut to size, then glued to my card front.
Next, I prepared the cat picture with the window halves glued into position on top (I used a glue stick) and glued the Utter PURR-fection sentiment inside. I've glued the windows to leave the slightest gap in the middle, which shows there's something underneath when opened (see pic 2) plus you don't need a closure! (Tip: score where you want to fold the windows open, for a neater finish).
I used silicon glue to fix two strips of real lace across the card, positioned so they'd show behind my cat picture. I placed the Paws for Thought sentiment with the top edge tucked just under the lace.
Finally, silicon glue to attch a bit of bling! (Couldn't resist).
CARD 2 - CAT-IT-UDE
This has a Shabby Chic feel. I used two pieces of watercolour paper from my sketch pad as a card base, and used a big eyed needle to thread sari ribbon through the holes to connect the pieces. A tiny dab of glue fixed the ends of the ribbon at the ends.
Next, a layer of lace and then a torn piece of the A4 lace background paper. I layered another piece of lace on top of this, then the main image.
Next, two sequin motifs, the 'CAT-it-tude' sentiment (also layered on a scrap of lace) then the cat, all stuck down using silicon glue for dimension.
For the inside of the card, I glued on the image (in the kit, and left blank for your own message) and decoupaged the lace curtain piece (supplied separately for those who want to decoupage ). Again, everything stuck down with silicon glue for dimension.
Finally, I layered the sentiment onto more lace.
