Cat in a Box Surprise Slider Card! | CraftyPaws

What it is about boxes that cats love so much? As a dog person, I don’t get it, but I have so many friends whose cats spends hours exploring, sitting in, and napping in boxes. So I thought I would create this surprise slider card in honor of all those cats who love boxes. 🙂 lol

The adorable kitty looking innocently up with wide eyes comes from the Katzelkraft Cats Stamp Set. I Copic colored the cat with the following colors and fussy cut him out:
Cat Body: E02, E97, E99 with R20 for ears and blush
Eyes: YG21, YG25 and YG17 with Signo White Uniball Gel Highlights

Then for the kraft “card board” box I used a Neat & Tangled Box Die and folded it up to form the open topped box that the kitty could sit in. To create the slider mechanism, I used an X-Acto blade and just cut a slit in the back side of the box as well as on the card front that was about 1.25″ long and .25″ wide (wide enough to fit a foam dot). I wasn’t too worried about the cleanness of the slit because the cat covers the whole opening.

Then in order from front to back here are the pieces: (a) box front; (b) kitty; (c) foam dot connecting kitty through the slit to the slider pull; (d) box back (with slit); (e) card front made with a glittery gold medallion patterned paper (with slit); slider pull with fun foam sheets on either side to support the card front with space for the slider pull to easily slide up and down; and card base.

For the sentiment, I used the Neat & Tangled Out of the Box Stamp Set to heat emboss “Just popping up to say…” and I used an old Whimsy Speech Bubble Border Die (this is no longer available but this Lawn Fawn Speech Bubble Border Die is very similar) to make it appear as though the cat was saying that phrase. Then on the inside of the card I simply stamped “Hello!” So this card can be sent any time for any occasion.
