Vellum Window – Oh Kitty Tree! from Mama Elephant

Happy Monday! Today I have a fun Christmas card for you featuring two of my favorite things… Christmas and cats! I used the new Oh Kitty Tree stamp set from Mama Elephant to create a vellum window card. The large image of the cats is perfect for this!

NOTE: This is part of a blog hop (with giveaways)! Scroll down for all the blog hop info. :)

(Wondering what I used in this video? Everything is linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this post, or in the text below. Compensated affiliate links used when possible).

After coloring the entire tree image with Copic markers, I adhered the colored piece to the front of a card. Then I die cut a circle window out of vellum.

To get the curved greeting, I used the same circle die I used to cut the window as a guide while sticking the greeting stamp to the door of my MISTI stamp positioning tool. (Be sure to watch the video to see how I did this). I stamped the greeting in VersaMark and coated it in white embossing powder and heat set it .

I adhered the vellum window piece to the front of the card and placed gold tape on the edge to disguise the seam. (I don’t know exactly where my gold tape is from, so I’ve linked to a couple options below).
