How to create…

1 Stamp a cat image onto a 10cm square of patterned paper. Stamp the ‘meow’ greeting above the cat and the paw design around the edges.

2 Stamp the cat onto orange, white and red patterned paper. Cut out the cat’s body from the orange paper, the paws, tail and nose from the white paper and the collar from the red paper. Stick all of them in place on top of the stamped image.

3 Layer the paper-pieced panel onto another patterned paper, then affix to the centre of the card blank.

4 Computer generate a sentiment, print out onto patterned paper, trim into two strips and affix either side of the cat to finish.
