One of the easiest ways to make a cat Christmas card is to take a piece of cardboard (or any other type of sturdy paper) and fold it in half. You can choose any color and can make it any size you want.
If you want a truly unique card, you can cut the cardboard into the shape of cats, mice, Christmas trees, stockings, and fish.
You can also use card stock, which is used for custom greeting cards, wedding invitations, etc. It comes in different colors, textures and sizes. Usually, you can find sets that come with several card stock pieces with their matching envelopes. This is a great option for a more professional look.
Once you have your card ready, decorate it to your heart's content. You can use your cat’s photo, a drawing, and any number of decorative items including ribbon, glitter, tassels, cotton, and much more.
