Silver Elephant Craftique: Blank Page Muse: Funny Cat Card

I had a cat that lived 17 years named Feisty. He was an awesome cat most of the time. He loved to play catch with a puff ball or a rolled up piece of paper. When he got older, he didn't play as much and I often thought he had an attitude! LOL! When I saw this stamp from Blank Page Muse, it reminded me of Feisty! This red rubber stamp is called Frederico Cat Words and Stencil Bundle designed by Donna Gray. The stamp set comes with a stencil. This funny cat is perfect for any cat or animal lover.

Fussy cut Frederico
For this next step with using texture paste or butter, work on a craft mat for easy clean up. Gather the patterned paper, paste, palette knife, scraper, and stencil.

Tape the patterned paper onto the work surface. Place the stencil over the paper and tape it down so it won't move when stencil paste is applied.

Using a palette knife, apply the paste, ensuring the holes are filled in

Using the scraper, gently scrape ONE TIME and put the excess paste back in the jar

Carefully pull up the stencil. Let the stenciled paper dry for at least one hour. Do not use a heat gun. Quickly wash the stencil and palette knife with water and wipe up any paste from the craft mat.

Using a circle die, cut a circle from the stenciled paper

Trim the sentiment to 2-7/8"W x 1"H. Using the patterned paper, create a mat 3"W x 1-1/8"H. Adhere the sentiment to the mat.
Adhere the stenciled circle onto the card stitched rectangular mat. Using double sided foam tape, adhere Frederico and the sentiment.
Adhere the card front to the card base
To finish the card, adhere the sequins.
