Wino Kitty How To

You all had several clever ideas for the wino cat card that made me chuckle so I made another cat and snapped a photo for the how to.





Left columns shows punches and right column shows what  each one looks like after you follow my directions below.

Head - large oval - using temporary adhesive (dotto) stick on a scrap and reinsert into large oval punch moving so that you are snipping just a little off horizontally (see photo)

Body - word window - with scissors snip diagonally on both sides (see photo)

Ears - small  Heart to Heart (2)

Hind legs - narrow Heart to Heart - trimmed with scissors (see photo)

Arms - wide Heart to Heart - punched next to hole and then again to get the narrow arms

Feet aren't shown in photo - small Heart to Heart cut in 1/2

Collar - Chain link - which is the word window punched around the slot punch hole - then repunched with the word window. - but since I stuck in up so close under the head - you could just use a strip of paper.

Cat was punched from whisper white and sponged with soft suede
Face and claws drawn on with thin marker

And here is a Super Bowl Trophy - which is what the cat looks like when all you have done is stick the head on the body.

Another fab creation - and I have several friends who are wine lovers and would make the purrrrrfect birthday cards for them. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, I just got a better idea! Not better than the cat but better than putting a coffee in his hand. I have to wait until my order gets here on Monday, but I have an idea for a swap, will share when I make it.

hugs,
