Grad Cat Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and we are wrapping up our graduation themed projects for the week featuring the cute Grad Cat Stamps. I love how several of the new products from the Summer Release work so well for graduation cards!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Grad Cat Graduation Card by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring A Cut Above, Notebook Dies, Woo Hoo, Bright Balloon Dies)

I started this mini slimline card by cutting a panel for the card front 3” x 6” from white cardstock and inking it with Uncharted Mariner Distress ink. I lightly inked the top and applied more pressure with a blending brush towards the bottom of the panel. Next, I die-cut the notebook paper die from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies twice from light blue cardstock and stamped the graph paper/grid stamp from the A Cut Above Stamps in dark teal ink on both die-cuts. I adhered them at angles across the panel and trimmed the excess along the edges.

Next, I die-cut a banner from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies twice from dark yellow cardstock and white cardstock. I inked the white banners with Uncharted Mariner Distress ink and heat embossed the sentiments with white embossing powder. I then layered the banners slightly overlapping and adhered them to the card front, trimming the excess from the edges.

I die-cut the star balloon from the Bright Balloons Dies from white cardstock and inked it with Scattered Straw and Fossilized Amber Distress inks. I tied some dark yellow embroidery floss to the balloon and adhered it in the top right corner.

To finish, I stamped the cat, books and stars from the Grad Cat Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I also stamped and colored a diploma from the Woo Hoo Stamps and die-cut it using the coordinating dies.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Grad Cat Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina with a colorful graduation card for you today! It’s that time of the year when we all need such a congratulations card. Mine is for my niece who will receive her bachelor’s degree in bioengineering sciences. I am sure she will love this sweet cat with the hat and diploma! 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Grad Cat Graduation Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Woo Hoo, Happy Thoughts, Scalloped Oval Mat Dies, Crepe Paper Streamer Dies)

My white card panel is dry embossed with the Sunburst Embossing Folder. I really love the extra texture this gives to a simple base. To highlight my scene I die cut the largest oval from the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 set and turned it into a frame with a smaller oval die from an infinity set. The sweet pink paper is from the Gingham Pastels pack.

Next, I stamped and die cut all my images for this card using the Cat Grad and Woo Hoo sets. These products work so well together! I colored everything with my Copic markers.

As an extra festive detail I also die cut three Crepe Paper Streamers and used the same markers to make them match the color scheme. I added some golden and white details with gel pens from my stash.

As a sentiment, I combined the ‘happy graduation’ from Happy Thoughts which is a very versatile set to have at hand for lots of occasions.

I glued my embossed panel to a card base and started layering all the images, creating a pile of books for the sweet cat to sit on. I tucked the diploma under the tail and added the streamers to the background. Lastly, I adhered the sentiment and some Gold Jewels.

I hope you got inspired to make some fun grad cards with this cute Grad Cat! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Grad Cat Gift Tags with Marine

Hello crafty friends! Marine here, I'm super happy to be back on the blog with those six graduation shaker tags showcasing the ever so cute kitty from Grad Cat. Love this sweet little guy so much I thought it would be fun to create a variety of cats with matching bow ties and books.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Grad Cat Graduation Shaker Tags by Marine Simon (featuring Mini Mat & Tag Dies)

I started off by stamping six kitties, books and bow ties, all from Grad Cat, on Transotype perfect coloring paper using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it Brush markers. I colored each kitty in a different way to make each one of them unique, and once the coloring was done, I stamped a star, again from Grad Cat, on each book spine.

Next I created six shaker tags using the same process as the Meow & Furever tags I made back in January. The papers I used are from the Heroic Halftones paper pack, and these are perfect because they look like they're shining a light on each kitty that just graduated. So, I made those tags using the Mini Mat & Tags 3 die set, and to decorate the top I cut and glued a gold glitter star using a die from the Mini Mat & Tags 4 die set, and used gold thread from my stash to make handles.

I attached each kitty and book on their matching tags using 1mm foam squares, and then I created the greetings. I cut six speech bubbles out of matching cardstock using a die from the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles die set, next I cut six more speech bubbles out of gold glitter cardstock, I attached a gold glitter speech bubble behind each colored speech bubble, and then stuck the elements on the tags using 1mm foam squares again.

As always I finished the tags by adding highlights and details on the images and speech bubbles using a white gel pen. And that's it! I hope you like those cute and colorful graduation shaker tags. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see next time!

Grad Cat Card with Catherine

Hello Crafty Friends, Catherine here with you! It’s graduation time and today, I am sharing a card created with the cute Grad Cat Stamps and the new Notebook Tabs Dies.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Grad Cat Graduation Card by Catherine Cohen (featuring Notebook Dies, Stitched Rectangles Dies, Slimline Dies)

To start, I die cut white cardstock with the largest die in Stitched Rectangle Dies. I ink blended the panel with Squeezed Lemonade and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides. I splattered some orange watercolor onto the bottom of the panel and blue watercolor onto the top of the panel. I sprayed some Gold Shimmer onto the panel for added interest.  I set the front panel aside to dry.

To make the notebook paper, I die cut some lined cardstock with Notebook Tabs Dies. I adhered black cardstock under neath the lined cardstock and glued the notebook paper onto the front panel at a slight angle.

I stamped the images from Grad Cat Stamps and die cut with the coordinating Grad Cat Dies. I added a mortar board and diploma from Woo Hoo Stamps, confetti from Bold Balloons, and stars from School Time Stamps. I colored the images with Copic Markers listed in my blog link below.

I finished off the card with a Congrats sentiment from Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies and a White Heat Embossed sentiment from Grad Cat Stamps.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Please feel free to visit my blog Crafti-Cat for a list of Copic Markers used. Have a wonderful week!

Grad Cat Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with a graduation theme card featuring the Grad Cat stamps and dies. The rainbow colors are because there are many various subjects and books during the school/Uni years :)

Sunny Studio Stamps: Grad Cat Graduation Card by Isha Gupta (featuring Slimline Dies)

I started by creating a fun pastel color background by sponging tattered rose, worn lipstick, kitsch flamingo, tumbled glass and salvaged patina onto a white card. Flick some water and white paint to it. Stamp the solid stars for added interest. 

Stamp the books and the kitty image, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies. I then added some details using a white gel pen.

Adhere this panel to a white card base. Stamp the sentiment and adhere the images using 3d foam. For the word "YOU", I used the thank you die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die. Die-cut the word three times and stack it. Adhere to the card.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Grad Cat Card with Bobbi

Hello, Bobbi here! It’s graduation time. Whether it is a kindergarten or a college graduation, it’s that time of the year. Well this cute Grad Cat comes to the rescue. For a youngster or a young adult, Grad Cat can share appreciation and congratulatory wishes for the graduate in a clever and fun way. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Grad Cat Graduation Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Hayley Alphabet Dies, Crepe Paper Streamers, Inside Greetings)

I’m using the following products from Sunny Studio Stamps:
Grad Cat stamps and coordinating dies
Crepe Paper Streamers dies
Bright Balloons dies
Hayley Uppercase Alphabet dies
Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set 
Subtle Grey Tones 6″ X 6″ paper pack

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I added a 5″ wide X 3-3/4″ tall neutral-striped pattern paper to the bottom section of my card base that measures 5″ wide X 6-1/4″ tall. Next, I stamped, colored and cut out the Grad Cat and a dozen books for the front. I colored the books using Copic Sketch Markers in the following colors: BG09, BG18, BG49, YR27, YR24, Y21, B93, B45, B41, R89, R39, YG67, YG17, YG03, Y28, and 100. I also used E09, E19, E53, E55, E43, R00, R20, 100, C7, and C5 for the graduate cat.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Grad Cat Graduation Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Hayley Alphabet Dies, Crepe Paper Streamers, Inside Greetings)

I positioned everything in place on the card front, overlapping the books in random piles. I attached a balloon at the top, allowing the balloon to extend 3/4″ beyond the top edge of the card. The balloon extension plus the length of the card base equals 7″ total so it can still fit inside an A7-size envelope. Everything was glued in place, including the balloon’s string.

I stamped the meow sentiment from the Grad Cat set and the “congratulations” from the Inside Greetings Congratulations stamp set on the front. I cut the “GRAD” letters using the Hayley Uppercase Alphabet dies, added highlight marks to the teal letters, using my white Gelly Roll pen, and added the word to the card front.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Grad Cat Graduation Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Hayley Alphabet Dies, Crepe Paper Streamers, Inside Greetings)

For graduations, I typically give money so inside, on the left panel, I added a leftover strip of the striped pattern paper to hold a gift card, cash or check so that the contents do not fall out when the card is opened. I also stamped more sentiments from the Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set and our cute cat to finish the card.
