Meow's the Time to Celebrate Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Kitty Birthday Card!

Today Ellen has created a fun kitty themed birthday card that is purr-fect for any cat lover! 

She stamped the image of the kitty on the giant cupcake from our Newton's Cupcake Stamp Set. She colored the image of the cupcake and some cherries in fun bright colors and added fun details to the fur and cupcake liner. She even added some glitter to the cupcake frosting to make it look extra yummy! She cut the images out using the coordinating Newton's Cupcake Die Set. She layered the images over a circle that was cut using our Circle Frames Die Set. She also added in the sentiments on banners, cut using our Banner Trio Die Set. 

For the background the used our Plaid Stencil Set to create a colorful pink and yellow plaid and framed the panel using a scalloped edge using our Frames & Flags Die Set.

What a yummy and cheerful birthday card!

Details on creating this card from Ellen:

Below we have some instructions from Ellen on how to create this card.

1. (left photo) First I colored the image from the Newton's Cupcake Stamp Set with copic markers:
   • Cupcake: R22, R32, RV21, RV00
   • Cupcake Wrapper: YR07, YR15, Y35, Y15
   • Hat: RV09, RV04, RV63, RV23 + BG15, BG11, BG10
   • Cherry: G19, G05, YG07, YG01 + R39, R37,R35
   • Cat: W07, W05, W04, W02, W01
2. (center photo) I did cut out the largest frame on the Frames & Flags Die Set and cut a circle out of colored velum using the Circle Frames Die Set. I used the Plaid Stencil Set to make a pattern. I only used one of the layers twice (with an other color) instead of 1 time.
   • Milled Lavender Distress Ink, Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink, Picked Raspberry
3. (right photo) As last step I snipped the sentiment in two parts and stamped it on two banners with white embossing powder. The biggest is from the Banner Trio Die Set.
