Good Tuesday morning. I don’t’ know about you but I would never trust my husband not to peek if I put his presents under the tree in gift bags. LOL! But for the sake of creating a fun Christmas scene I did just that with the Memory Box Tall Shopping Bag, Gift Bag, Elizabeth Craft Designs 5 Part Pine, Poppystamps Grand Madison French Doors and Impression Obsession Cat Set.
I started creating the tree using two layers of each section and finishing with one on the top. I wanted the tree to be a wider size to work with the gift and shopping bags. I cut thin strips of cardstock, ran through the crimper and attached to the tree for decorations. I added a few punched circles for ornaments. I added holly, pine sprigs and punched circles to the tree top and finished by adding stickles for a touch of sparkle.
I cut the window, attached a crimped piece of cardstock to the back and attached the window to the card base with mounting tape. I attached the tree with mounting tape for another level of dimension. I decorated the top of the window with pine boughs and punched circles. I cut and assembled the gift bags, added holly, ornaments and stickles and attached to the scene. I had two cats left over from a project I made a couple of days ago and couldn’t resist adding them for one more holiday touch of home.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.

I’m running late tonight but I still got to see your card. I can’t tell you how much you amaze me. You come up with such darling ideas every day. yes, that is jealousy talking….LOL…. Another darling card idea…. thank you for sharing….
Just love this card, Kittie! The cats are just adorable – love the way you coloured them. This is such a warm, cheery scene. You really inspire me.
Kittie, the queen of scenes. This is fabulous. Love every little detail.
This is the cutest card, EVER!! I just love all the details you thought of. The shopping bags are darling and the playful cat in the tree is so sweet. Your cards always blow me away and these last few days your cards have been out of the park cute.
So clever and cute. I know a friend with kitties that would love a card like this. Edna
I absolutely love your style of papercrafting. The cards you have been posting are so inspirational. Each one has its own personality and tells a little story, and that makes them so special. I may have said it before, but I’ll say it again…I am so glad I found your blog!
very cool, love the window in the background, the bags are a cute idea!
What a wonderful scene! The detail on your cards is amazing Kittie!
Good Morning, Kittie. Another warm homey image, with the cats and the gifts. I love the way you put the cats into the scene, and sooo much detail with the window, packages, and holly. You did a super, super job. love it. thank you so much
This is absolutely darling, I love it. After seeing you use the cat set in some of your cards I ordered it right away and am planning on putting cats all over my Christmas cards too, lol. Maybe you could post a picture of your real kitties as I am big time cat lover and would love to see yours!
This card is beautiful. It reminds me of a cat we had many years ago that climbed up inside the tree! I couldn’t leave gift bags under the tree either, hubby would snoop. I really like the tree, the Elizabeth crafts pine tree looks like a versatile die. Thank you for sharing.
