Kitty Cat Card and Gift Box

WOW, I've got some exciting news to share as I'm a guest designer on Do You Stack Up this week.  Woohoo!!!

We're sponsored by Digi Darla who have supplied me with the cutest little kitten image.  He is just so cute looking up at the falling leaves.

The theme is Use a Flower, and I got a bit carried away.  I made a card, decorated the inside to match, and also made a little handbag style gift box using a gorgeous template from Stempeleinmaleins.


Although I used digi papers, I ran the card back through the printer and printed a contrasting design onto the reverse side of the card so that the inside of my little gift box was decorated too.

I stitched the papers on the card and kept the design quite simple because the papers were quite busy.  I coloured the cute little kitty as a ginger tabby with a white chest, just like my little fur-baby, Arnie.

Here's a close up of the inside of my gift box showing the contrasting card. You can also see the inside of the greetings card too.



I'm so proud to be a guest designer this week, and hope I have inspired you to join in with the Use a Flower theme. I look forward to seeing your creations.



This card is available to buy on my eBay listings  [Update = Sold, but others are available]
