Grad Cat Cards with Ana and Tammy

Hello crafty friends! Ana here today with a super cute graduation card showcasing adorable new Grad Cat stamps and coordinating dies, as well as Sweet Treat House Add-on dies! I thought this adorable kitty would love to come home after graduation and seeing a big congrats banner on her house. 

I started with stamping and coloring the images from Grad Cat stamp set then cutting them out with coordinating dies. To create the house and grass, I used Sweet Treat House Add-on dies, Sunny Sentiments dies for the grass and Classic Gingham Paper pack. After die cutting all my pieces, I added some shading to each die cut piece with Distress inks the assembled the house. I stamped the sentiment and the stars (from the Grad Cat set) on a banner (from Banner Basics stamps) added some shading with markers and die cut it our using Banner Basics coordinating dies.

I added foam tape to roof shingles and grass to create dimension and for the window and door I die cut the pieces twice out of heavyweight cardstock. I colored the window/door panels and the wreath with markers then assembled them with liquid glue.

I created the background for the house by die cutting the clouds with Fluffy Clouds Border dies and used the die cuts as stencils. I inked the clouds on the background with Salty Ocean distress ink, then used Mowed Lawn and Lucky Clover distress inks for the grass part of the background. I added some texture by adding the splatter on the grass then adhered the house to the background. Finally, I adhered the banner, kitty and the book and my grad cat card was finished!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I will see you next week and until then I wish you all a fabulous day!

Hi friends! Tammy here with a card for Sunny Studio, featuring the adorable mini set, Grad Cat. Sadly, graduation celebrations are being cancelled or rescheduled for fall, so this card is sure to put a smile on the graduate's face!

To begin, I started with a rectangle panel of Bristol cardstock, and ink blended it with Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide. I splattered a bit of water and thinned Mustard Seed ink with a paintbrush, and set aside to dry. 

Next, I created my chalkboard by cutting some brown cardstock with the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies. I then cut a piece of black cardstock and embossed the "con-cat-ulations" sentiment and stars with white embossing powder. I layered the frame on top and rubbed my anti-static cloth over it to give it a real chalkboard look.

I cut a strip of woodgrain paper from the Subtle Grey Tones 6X6 Paper, and attached to the bottom of my card. I cut a thin strip of light grey cardstock and layered right above the patterned paper to mimic a baseboard.

Next, I stamped the images from Grad Cat and  Woo Hoo (diploma) onto Bristol Smooth cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored with Copic markers, and added highlights with a white gel pen. I cut out my colored images with the Grad Cat Dies and Woo Hoo Dies and arranged onto my card, adding foam tape for dimension.

Copic Colors: Cat - N4, N2, N0, R30, R000, B12, B24, B28; Books: Red - R29, R24, R14, N2, N0; Yellow - Y15, Y11, Y00, N2, N0; Green - YG09, YG07, YG06, N2, N0; Blue - B28, B24, B12, N2, N0

Stitched Arch Cards with Leanne and Mindy

Hi everyone, Leanne here! I have a fun card idea to share today and the best part is it can easily be mass produced. I was looking at the new Stitched Arch dies before snipping them apart and thinking how they formed a cute rainbow. Everyone could use a little something to brighten their day so I ran with an idea to create some quick cards featuring a simple rainbow.  

These cards are A2 size. I started by picking out three happy colors of card stock: pink, yellow, and aqua. I then cut out the rainbow shapes from all three colors of card stock. It's very quick and easy to do since the dies all nest including the little tag die that's also in the set. I got three different rainbow combinations with just one pass of each color. I adhered the rainbows about a half inch from the top edge of the card front. For the bottom half of the card, I die cut two layers of Fluffy Cloud Borders. 

Before adhering the clouds, I stamped a sentiment using word stamps from Over The Rainbow. I added the die cut tag to a piece of baker's twine and tied it around the one cloud borders. I adhered the clouds with adhesive foam tape to they'd be popped up a little from the rainbow. Lastly I added a few Iridescent Pastel Confetti sequins to embellish the card. 

That's it! So simple and quick! These cards are great to have on hand to send family or friends to uplift and encourage during these strange and uncertain times.
