Halloween Punch Art Black Cat
Every year, I teach a Fall and Winter Holiday Punch Art class. It is one of my best-attended classes of the year. 2015 was no different. I do at least one Halloween card, one Thanksgiving card, and usually two Christmas cards.
This year’s Halloween card featured a black cat – super easy to create using some basic punches:
The background circles are the 2-1/2″ circle. One was from the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper selection (love it).
Here is what you need to make the cat:
extra large oval punch
1-3/4″ circle punch
1″ circle punch
medium star punch
To make the body of the cat, punch out part of the extra large oval onto a piece of basic black card stock. Then take the 1-3/4″ circle punch and punch out part of the circle from the already punched card stock.
To make the tail of the cat, use the punch to create a half oval with the extra large oval punch on a piece of basic black card stock. Then punch again right on top of on the same card stock that has already been punched (not the punched out piece) to create a large sliver of a moon. That’s your tail!
The ears were punched from a medium star and then trimmed for the two peaks. Face was the 1″ circle punch. Added some scissor-cut whiskers and pearls for the eyes. Of course, popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals!
The phrase is from Happy Scenes – one of the most popular stamp sets in the 2015 Holiday Catalog!

We are finally feeling some fall weather after an unseasonably warm September. Today’s card features products from the Holiday Catalog – Boo to You Framelits, Happy Scenes stamp set, Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper, and Black Glitter Paper.
This designer series paper is perfect for coloring! Love those cute ghosts! I’ve taught how to make bats out of butterflies before – they are super easy. The gravestone is from one of the new tags framelits – just added some sponging to age it. BLACK GLITTER PAPER – LOVE IT!!! That word in the Boo to You framelit set is worth the price alone!
Boo to you!
