Framed cat thank you card ~ Copic coloring & stamping

Hello and welcome.  I’m Gaylynn and I am delighted to share a dimensional framed cat thank you card.  I used Copic markers for color, rubber stamping, die-cutting and patterned paper. I chose soft colors and sentiment labels for accents.

This little cutie is from the Unity Rescue Tales Collection.

Sentiment:
Thanks. You make ordinary days feel so very special.

Here are more details for the making of this framed cat thank you card.

Helpful Tips:

1. Prepare a white A2 sized card base, 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ folded.

2. Onto smooth white cardstock, stamp the cat using ink suitable for your markers of choice.

3. Color the cat. I used Copic markers, but use what you have.

4. Die-cut the cat panel into a rectangle shape approximately 4″ x 5 1/4″.

5. Onto smooth white cardstock, stamp the sentiment in black, then die-cut it into a heart shape.

6. Die-cut a “thanks” word in gold cardstock.

7. Make a frame out from patterned paper. Die-cut a patterned paper panel using the largest and medium-sized rectangle dies, to coordinate with the size of the stamped panel. Be sure that the cat shows through the inner die-cut frame window.

8. Add thin double-sided foam tape to the back of the frame and the heart panels.

9. Adhere the frame layer over the cat layer, then adhere that panel to the card front.

10. Add the thanks and the heart-shaped sentiments over the card front with optional heart embellishments.
