Cat Antics Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm happy to be back with this colorful and festive birthday card showcasing a mix & match of recent and previously released items, including Cat Antics from the Spring 2025 release. I've created this card as a companion to the Party Pets slimline card I shared a few weeks ago, and I love how they're both different but compliment each other very well.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers in a color palette I really love: pink, orange and yellow, with touches of brown. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Cat Antics - cats • Party Pets - balloons, party hats, presents • Holiday Express - train • Balloon Rides - banners.

Next I cut multiple stripes out of colored cardstock using a Ribbon & Lace Border die, and attached them all on a slightly smaller panel than the regular A2 size using liquid glue. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to my stripe panel, and then did the same with fossilized amber distress spritz for a touch of gold. Once it was dry,  I stuck my stripe panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel, and then the whole thing to a white card base.

I cut three squares out of different Gingham Pastels papers using the 1-1/2 inch Stitched Square die, attached those squares on the upper part of my card using 1mm foam squares, I stuck all the images using foam squares again, and then added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

For my sentiment, I cut a speech bubble out of vellum using a Comic Strip Speech Bubbles die, I gold heat embossed "Make A Wish" from Make A Wish on the vellum bubble, and attached it on my panel using transparent foam squares. To finish my card, I glued a scattering of mini star confetti to add even more cuteness and shine to my panel. 

And that's it! I hope you like this fun and lovely birthday card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Rounded Rectangle Window Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun shaker birthday card to share with you showcasing the Rounded Rectangle Window Dies, Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies, Background Basics 2 Stamps, Cat Antics and Party Pets sets.

Do you like making shaker cards? I love adding a little fun factor to my cards and shakers are quick ways to add that fun. Today, I'm going to show you how I made my shaker card and shaker bits. So let's get started.

I stamped the cats and balls of yarn from the Cat Antics stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Cat Antics Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Cats: Y21 YR21/24, W3, R20
Pink: RV00/10/21/23/25
Orange: Y38 YR04/07
Yellow: Y06/08
Green: YG01/03/25
Teal: BG10/11/15
Blue: B000/00/02
Purple: V000/01/04

I used Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink to stamp the Background Basics 2 Stamps onto a piece of white cardstock. Once the panel was dried, I used the largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Die to trim the panel. I used the same die to also diecut a piece of clear acetate.

Next, I used low tack tape to secure the same largest Rounded Rectangle Mat Die to the third largest Rounded Rectangle Window Die. I used this die combo to diecut a frame out of white cardstock. The white frame was then adhered to the clear acetate layer to create the shaker window. I added a layer of foam tape onto the backside to create the shaker well. I added the balls of yarn that I colored up as well as some sparkling clear sequins for my shaker bits before closing off the shaker well with the inked panel. 

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Party Pets stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating Party Pets Dies to diecut it out. I adhered the sentiment and colored images to the front of the shaker.

Finally, the shaker was adhered to a piece of patterned paper from the Classic Gingham Paper Pad before it was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. For more info, ideas and to check out the entire Spring Release, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Balloon Alphabet Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a mini slimline birthday card with the fun Balloon Alphabet stamps and dies! Since this release contains so many adorable critters, I decided to go for a sweet ‘cats and dogs’ celebration!

To start, I cut a white rectangle background panel to the size of a mini slimline and divided it in two parts with some post-it tape. The sky portion was inked with Distress Oxide  Picked Raspberry and a cloud stencil I pulled from my stash. For the ground, I used a light brown ink to which I added details and shading with my Copics. After gluing this piece to a pink striped paper (Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones), I mounted everything to a white card base.

All the images were selected from Cat Antics and Party Pets, two sets that work so well together!  I colored them with Copic markers in neutral tones since I really wanted the sentiment to shine.

Then it was time to select the letters to spell the word ‘Congrats’ from the Balloon Alphabet stamps and dies set. I used 4 different colors of Memento dye inks for all the stamping. To save time, I kept the dies connected and die cut all the letters at once, I just store the ones I didn’t use for a later project!

I took my time to figure out the placement of letters and critters before I adhered them with foam tape. Lastly, I drew the balloon strings with a black pen. As a final embellishment, I added a few White Diamond Jewels.

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Cat Antics card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and I had so much fun creating this sweet birthday card with the adorable Cat Antics stamp and die set! I love these kitties so much that I initially colored five of them! But sometimes you have to adjust your design plans since I only had room for three. So, I put the other two aside for a future card!

For this project, I kept to a strict color scheme of beige, brown, coral, and red tones. I started by coloring the big celebration cake (Special Day), the banners (Panda Party), presents, party hat (Party Pets) and the sweet cats with their ball of yarn (Cat Antics stamp). I added some white details to make the images pop.

To match the color scheme, I create a cream card base. Next, I cut a white panel with the largest of the Rounded Rectangle Mat dies. Since I wanted a white border around my scene, I used a smaller die from the same set. This provides you with the border and a smaller rectangle mat for scene building.

First, I stamped my background onto this smaller mat panel. For the bottom part (after masking of the top part with some Post It tape) I used the wood floor stamp (Sprawling Surfaces) and a brown ink from my stash. Using a small blending brush to add more brown ink to the planks.

Then I lowered the Post It tape to stamp the ‘wallpaper’ part of the card with a light pink ink and the fun diagonal grid stamp (Background Basics 2). You can only see it on the left side of the card, but I drew in a baseboard with a black pen and colored it with a dark brown pencil.

My sentiment consists of a large die cut (Wishes word) and a Happy Birthday stamp (Punny Fruit Greetings, Versafine Onyx Black ink). Next, I could build the entire scene.
Adding a few Crystal clear Jewels finishes this sweet project.

I can’t wait to see all these adorable kitties featured in your projects! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!
