Cat And Bird Cards - Inspiration

Seems to be an animal theme today (cat and bird) and yesterday (dog). Having lots of fun creating these cards. Hope they help to inspire you too. All Stampin' Up! products used to create these cards.


This cards was created using the Bride Specialty Paper using the Brayer to color it. I used Really Rust and Chocolate Chip Classic Ink. To put the ink on, I used rubber stamps, sponge, and a brayer. To accent the card, I used Chocolate Chip 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, and to add height to the sentiment I used dimensionals. I used Mellow Moss and Whisper White cardstock. The Whisper White scallop circle (punch) and the Mellow Moss card were highlighted with Really Rust Classic ink using a sponge.

"C is for Cat" stamp set was used for this card (item #115764).


Isn't this stamp set great! It is called "Wings of Friendship" (item #114308) and is a Hostess Level 2 stamp set. The bird, branch, and flowers are all one large stamp. I used Stampin' Markers to color in the stamp. Colors used: Garden Green, Ballet Blue, and Regal Rose.

I used the Oval Scallop Paper Punch for the sentiment and stamp the accent swirls with Regal Rose for a tone on tone effect. The sentiment is upraised using Dimensionals and the Whisper White piece for the bird has the corners punched with the Ticket Corner Paper Punch. The accent sheet behind the bird is Ballet Blue cardstock.
