Special Day & Birthday Cat Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! We are celebrating Sunny Studio's 10th Birthday all this week and this is Mendi here today, popping in to share some birthday cards for cat lovers, combining our Birthday Cat Stamps and Special Day Stamps.

For my first card of the day, I colored the three-tiered cake and candles from our Special Day Stamps and inserted the two peeking kitties over the hearts on the cake from our Birthday Cat Stamps. I added three more kitties wearing party hats and peeking inside the gift, and then, to even out the scene on the right, I added an oversized gift from our Holiday Hugs Stamps. For my card background, I added rainbow-striped strips of patterned paper from the Rainbow Bright Paper pad along the top and bottom of my card. Then, I layered them with a white cardstock panel in the center, adding stitching along the edges with the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies.

For my second card, I stamped and colored rows of numbered candles along both the top and bottom of my card from the Special Day Stamps. I stamped them randomly but then colored them in rainbow order. I then layered a piece of turquoise blue cardstock in the center, adding stitching along the top and bottom using the stitched edge from the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. For my focal point, I added three of the kitty cupcakes from the Birthday Cat Stamps, coloring the wrappers in the same rainbow I used for the candles and popping them up with foam tape. Lastly, I stamped a punny greeting from the set using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and added white highlights to all my images using a white gel pen.

I hope you will check back with us every day this week for more fun Birthday card ideas! 💛

Merry Mocha Card with Marine

Hey crafty friends, Marine here with you today! I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this lovely autumn card featuring some warm and delicious treats from different sets (listed down below), as well as four cheeky kitties from Birthday Cat. Once again, I stenciled my background, stamped and colored my images on kraft cardstock to emphasize the whole autumn vibe of the scene I had in mind. I really love how it turned out, and hope you like it, too!

I started off by stamping my images on kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers. For the Merry Mocha cup, I masked the snowflake, stamped the cup, and then stamped the acorn on the cup to turn my Merry Mocha winter cup into an autumn cup.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Merry Mocha - cup (with the acorn) • Mug Hugs - other cups, candy cane, heart • Beautiful Autumn - acorns, leaves • Bountiful Autumn & Fall Friends - pumpkins • Cruisin' Cuisine - donut • Birthday Cat - cats • Happy Harvest - sunflowers.

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel, and added a plaid texture using the Buffalo Plaid Straight die. And I used the Straight Stripes stencil along with vintage photo and ground espresso oxide inks to color my panel. I white heat embossed "Wishing you a beautiful autumn season" from Beautiful Autumn at the top of my panel, and then attached all my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

As always, I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
