Hello and welcome!
I do absolutely love this set but somehow I always dread dealing with matching dies for whatever reason and these stamps just seem easier to use when die cut.
I stamped the tree on card stock I inked with Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide ink then I used the matching die to cut it out. Cats and presents were stamped, colored with Zig Clean Color markers (brush pens) and then I used the matching dies to cut them out. I tried to add more details to the cats' fur with my colored pencils but it didn't really work the way I wanted to, think the paper was still a bit damp too when I tried adding colored pencils so I just left them as is.

Before assembling my card, I used a brick stencil I've had for years but I don't remember anymore which brand it is (options here). I used Tattered Rose ink for a soft peachy pink color.

This is a terrific card. The details on your cats are perfect. I would think it's hard to line up those dies with the stamped images. Your card came out beautiful.

It's wonderful, Ellie! I am so glad you are digging deep in your stash to make some cards for the Hop. These cats look very proper and well-behaved (lol....just wait until no one is looking!!)....very fancy and dressed-up in their bows! Great little scene you made. I like the brick stenciling, too.
Thank you so much for participating in the #2022CatLoversHop!!!

What an adorable Christmas card! I can see why the tree is undecorated, as the cats would surely undo it all! Thanks for sharing with us at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends and good luck!
