First, I needed to refresh my memory on exactly how to do it, so I looked up this tutorial on Splitcoaststampers. Love that site for all its tutorials and cardmaking advice.
The papers that I used came from a really old 6" X 6" pad. I won't bother sharing the manufacturer, because I'm certain it is no longer available. It's that old!
This is what the card looks like from the top when it's opened. It's actually not hard to make at all and looks pretty impressive when it's done.
This was my favorite cat on the card. I have to practice in order to perfect my tiger stripes, but I was OK with how my first try at this turned out.
Last night we were invited to our friend's home for dinner. We had some delicious Indian food and a lovely visit. As a hostess gift, I was able to go down into my stash of cards and pick out an assortment of six of them. Then I used my envelope punch board to make an envelope-style box, tied a ribbon around it and added a tag. It's so nice to be able to share the results of this hobby with others!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

You are getting really good at dimensional cards. This one has a lot of interest all tied together with the cat theme. Love the combos of paper.
A great personalized card! You really created a special card for your granddaughter! How nice of you to make a box for some cards to give as a Hostess gift to your friends.
What a fabulous card for your granddaughter, Cheryl! So special to add their cats:) I have recently come across two cards of this style in my "parts" but still haven't finished them. (Actually, I think I may have tossed one!) So nice of you to give your cards as a hostess gift, too!
You have been quite busy with the "special" cards this past week. I haven't made one of these in a long longtime as well. Love the kitty cats. What a nice gift to give, something everyone can use.
