Posted on February 24, 2026March 6, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Here is an adorable card made using the cat images from the Cutest Crew stamp set and dies.

I created the cutest cats card using the following supplies:

Fresh Freesia card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic White – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Gorgeous Grape – 3” by 3”

I stamped the 5⅛” by 3⅜” piece of Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink and the Lasting Linen Background stamp. I wrapped a couple of lengths of White Baker’s twine around the stamped panel before adhering it to the slightly larger panel of Basic White card. This was then glued to the Fresh Freesia card front.

From the square of Basic White card, I cut a stitched square using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The grass and trio of tulips were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink and the flowers coloured with Strawberry Slush ink. I adhered the decorated square to the Timid Tiger square and mounted the whole piece onto the card base on Dimensionals.
