Circle Trio of Cats

 

Birthday card made with a trio of small circular cat images



Lili of the Valley sell digi stamps through Etsy and this is a great way of getting images for your cards. They sell coloured or black and white images that you can colour yourself. So for this card, I've used a trio of cats image that prints just black outlines and I can then colour to match or coordinate with backing papers. Once downloaded you can keep on your computer and print whenever required. I have made a card previously with one of their pre-coloured images - if you'd like to see it click here)
Use LilioftheValley's trio of cats digi stamp to make this birthday card



Follow the below link to find out how the card was made

You will need
  • White A6 card base
  • Lili of the valley digi stamp AS Kitten present trio (can be downloaded here for a small cost)
  • Pink decorative paper (I used a piece from Tea Boutique designer series paper by Stampin Up)
  • 5cm circle die
  • Borders to Background stamp set by Stampin Up
  • Sweet Ice Cream stamp set by Stampin Up
  • Blue ink pad (I used Versacrafts pale aqua)
  • Colouring medium of your choice (I used Promarker pens - Cool grey 2 and 5, henna, cocoa, tea green, pale pink, lavendar, dusky pink, denim blue)
  • Glue and double sided foam pad
  • Die cutting machine

  1. Download, print, colour in and then use the 5 cm circle die to cut out the three cat images
    Print the images, colour in and die cut out


  2. Cut a piece of pink patterned paper to the width of the A6 base card (when it's in tent fold position) by 6 cm and another piece only 1cm deep
    Cut two pieces of pink patterned card/paper


  3. Glue the 6cm piece to the top of the card and the 1 cm piece to the bottom of the card - this leaves a little strip of white base card showing through between the two patterned strips
    Glue larger pink rectangle to top of card and thinner strip to bottom of card


  4. Stamp Happy Birthday (from the sweet ice cream stamp set) using the blue ink pad to the white stripe on the front of the card
    Stamp Happy Birthday to white strip on front of base card


  5. Glue two of the cat circles to the front of the base card - one to the left side and one to the right
    Glue two of the cat images to left and right hand side of base card


  6. Add the third cat circle using double sided foam pads to the front of the base card, between the other two
    Use double sided foam pads to add the third cat image to the front of card between the other two


  7. Use one of the decorative border stamps with the blue ink pad to decorate either side of the Happy Birthday stamp
    Use decorative stamps to add detail either side of greeting
