It's time to get out all those scraps again as we make this cat card to delight the kids.

Using whatever paper punches, shop bought shapes or die cuts that you have, make your self lots of different shapes to start.

Ovals, circles, heart shapes, all can be used to create these novelty cards. 

Step 1

I have used two shades of brown for my  card.

Cut out a large oval in one of the shades.

Cut a smaller oval in the other.

Cut two medium sized circles for the paws.

And hand cut a curved piece for the tail. 

Step 2

Layer the smaller oval onto the larger one.

It doesn't matter if your oval is larger than the one shown, it can always be trimmed to fit the cats head. 

Step 3

Cut some triangles for the ears in each of the colours and make one set smaller to be the inside of the ears. 

You could also the inside ear in pink as well for another card

Step 4

Cut two white circles for the eyes, and two more in whatever colour you want your cats eyes to be.

Cut two small black circles, then either colour the centre with a white pen, or add Googly Eyes.

I added a small heart shape in black for the nose. 

But why not try a pink nose 

Step 5

The curved tail is fitted to one side of the cat.

The two paws have been added to either side of a label to hold it in place and ready for the sentiment to be stamped onto it. 

The finished card has had some hand drawn whiskers added, and my sentiment is computer generated and added to the centre label.

Add small curved lines to the paws to look like the toes.

And when you are happy with the way your cat looks then add her to the front of your card.

Make your backing paper suit the recipient, and a ribbon has been added to mine, and it will suit boy or girl.

Just have some fun and dress it up any way you want.
