Sweet Kitty Cat Cards

 

Cats, Cats and More Cats - Cute Kitty Cards

Howdy!  Today I'd love to share my love of kitty cats with you through paper crafting.  Our pets are such an important part of our lives.  They should be joyfully celebrated for the role they play in bringing happiness to the home.  I can find no better way to remove stress from my day than to create cards with a pet theme.  

 I just happen to have a happy reason for making cat cards.  I have some friends who adopted cats recently so I made cards to welcome the new family member to the home. 

Creative Embellishments has some great pet themed products and  other chipboard that is purrrrfect  for pet projects. Today I am featuring some chipboard pieces that aren't specifically pet themed but work so nicely.

This first kitty card features the following chipboard pieces painted with acrylic paints and Stickles Glitter Glue, then finished with DooDadz cyrstals from Buttons Galore and More : Creative Embellishments - Love Arrow Set,  Creative Embellishments - Doodle Frames.

 

I mentioned the other embellishing accents used on the card but let me show you.  The cute glitter "Smile" sentiment is a new line of products from Buttons Galore called Sparkling Sentiments, Spirit set.  These are small wooden pieces coated with glitter, perfectly sized for cards and craft projects. 

The pretty pink and blue crystal gems are from Buttons Galore Doo Dadz- Princess collection.  These are easy to use on cards and craft projects because they have flat backs for gluing. 

The kitties are images from Stamperia's ORCHIDS AND CATS 12x12 Paper pad.  The background papers were from Little Birdie's CELEBRATE LIFE 6x6 Paper Pad.

Now I'd like to present the second card.  The image of the sleeping kitty from the Stamperia paper makes me want to hug a kitty.  Thank heaven I have three crazy cats that I can seek out and hug.  

The xoxo heart chipboard piece for the second card is Creative Embellishments - Love Sentiments Hearts .  It was painted with cream acrylic paint then finished with Stardust Stickles Glitter Glue for a bit of shimmer. 

Next the card has finishing accents with Polar Wind Doo Dadz from Buttons Galore.  The sweet 3D button Hearts are also from Buttons Galore.  They are great quick toppers. 

Thanks so much for sharing your time to stop here.  Happy Crafting.

Black and Gray Kitty Shaker Card and Tag Set - Buttons Galore and Creative Embellishment

Gray Cat Shaker Cards and Paw Print Tags

When art imitates life. 
Today's post is a tribute to my three gray cats.  They certainly have bold adventures, and shake up my household.  

Funny - I am paying tribute to three cats but only have one on the card?  Does that make sense?  Yep - it does actually.   My "Grays" are as close to being identical as cats can be.  Show one is to show all. 

The inspiration for my shaker card set is Creative Embellishments Challenge for January 2020 .  I'm celebrating all things kitty cat - taking my inspiration from the black cat in the challenge collage idea board.  

The challenges usually have some sort of twist, with January's twist to add texture somewhere to the project so I added stenciling, yarn and beads.  

I used the following chipboard pieces; Paw Prints left natural, ATC Tag - Set 2  painted black,   Cat shaker painted black.

Every shaker needs fabulous shaker mix.  My mix is from Buttons Galore and More and is called Starry Night Embellishment Kit.  It has a vintage looking combination of burnished silver and gold assorted embellishments with accents of cream and taupe. Really very striking.
