Cut out a fun bookcase and fill it up with cute things! A fun idea to make!

Cut out a fun bookcase and fill it up with cute things! A fun idea to make!

Welcome to the blog hop for the new release from Waffle Flower Crafts. And yes, cats, shelves and books are having a moment!

And so… I took this opportunity to create a card for my favorite cat mom ever: my daughter, Aidan! The new Simple Bookcase die is perfectly sized for an US A2 card front and ready to be filled up!

I did my very best to recreate my grandkitty, Franklin. It’s no masterpiece, but wait until you see the one I did NOT use.

Check out my video to see how it all came together!

    This is awesome! So cute. Love Franklin. Now I’m going to go watch the video to see the less successful one 😉

    This is such a fun card! I like this shelf die. It could be customized for most any occasion.

  10. Mary G says

    Love it! Enjoyed the re-do on the Kitty… totally understandable. If I don’t have a “face”, then I go silhouette!

  11. Karen Hallam says

    I too have a daughter who is a cat mom. I’m going to have to get these products to make cards for her! Love all the details ~ so cute! Thanks, Cathy!

    I’m betting your daughter will think your rendition of Franklin is a masterpiece, Cathy! No matter – it’s purrrrfectly adorable!

    So cute! Love bookcases, plants, and cats! Can’t live without them, plus a lot of books to read. Great release!

  51. Cyndi Morris says

    Love it! I really need that cabinet (note: I already have the cat (four actually), so just the cabinet will be fine!).

  54. Marcy Schneider says

    Cathy, as always, your Build a Bookcase card is so creative & fun! Love it! Thanks for sharing.

    Cats, books and shelves are my favorite things! This is fabulous! I love that gray cat on the top shelf! 🙂 They love heights!

  67. Dar K says

    Great card idea and love the shelf die cut. Sometimes it’s hard to find designs for cards that could be used for a guy’s birthday or thank you, and this one would definitely fit the bill.
