Watch the creation of this funny slimline Christmas card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
The background panel was die cut from smooth white cardstock using a Slimline Nested Rectangles Die. Images from the Simon Says Stamp Limited Edition Exclusive is by Tim Holtz were stamped on the panel. A couple of the kitties were masked with Masking Paper so additional images could be stamped close.
Greeting from the Simon Says Stamp Limited Edition Exclusive is by Tim Holtz were stamped down the panel with Lawn Fawn Lobster Ink, Lawn Fawn Artichoke Ink, and Simon Says Stamp Smoke Ink. Snowflakes and flurries from the stamp set were stamped with Simon Says Stamp Lake Shores Ink. The Smoke Ink was blended around the edges of the panel for a bit of distressing.
The images from the stamp set were colored with the following Copic Markers:
- Bird: R35, R37, YR00, YR04, W5, W8
- Cat with lights: E40, E43, E44, E47, RV63, RV55, R35, R37, YR00, YR04, Y11, Y19, G43, G99, BG32, BG49, B34, B37, B63, B66
- Present: R35, R37, R39, G43 G99
- Cat in sweater: W00, W2, W5, W8, R00, R35, R37, G43, G99, BG32, BG49
- Cat with santa hat: YR30, YR31, YR24, YR27, G43, G99, R35, R37
An additional sentiment from the set was stamped on Lawn Fawn Chili Pepper Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The greeting was die cut with a Nested Banners Die and adhered to the card with foam adhesive.
The snowflakes were adored with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Silver Lining. Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard were used on the santa hat pom pom and brim. Crystal Lacquer was used on the lights and bells.
For the card base, Hero Arts Palm cardstock was cut to 7" x 8 1/2" and scored in half to make a 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" card. Sentiment and the bird from the Simon Says Stamp Limited Edition Exclusive is by Tim Holtz were stamped on the inside with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder to finish the card.

Fantastic card, Nichol. I love the humor! Humor is something you can't have enough of during these times. Anyone who receives it will be thrilled. The green card base is a perfect compliment to the cats. I think red would not have been as complimentary. Thanks for the inspiration.
