Looking to make someone giggle with a fun sentiment and handmade goodness? This cat yoga card has a feline good!
Today’s brilliant card design comes from our designer, Shelly, who cleverly replaced the letter “I” in “friend” with this yoga cat, and we are slightly obsessed! There are no rules when it comes to card making, and we love when people get creative with their stamps and bring a fresh design our way. If you have a friend that loves cats, yoga and a good laugh, this card is for you!
- Start with using the 35006 Yoga Cats stamp set.
- Stamp on cats onto a marker friendly white cardstock.
- Using Copic markers (or any alcohol markers of your choice) color cats.
- Use the 35006D Yoga Cats coordinating die with the colored images.
- Add ‘higlights’ using a white gel pen.
- Set aside.
- Take a piece of teal (blue/green) cardstock and die cut a panel using the 5013D Nested Rectangle Small Stitch die (largest one).
- Using a large blending brush and Color Fuse Ink Set #9 (Cedar), blend ink around the edges of the die cut panel.
- Add splatters using white paint.
- Let dry.
- Stamp on sentiment from the 35006 Yoga Cats stamp set to the bottom right corner of the panel.
- Set aside.
- Take a couple pieces of marker friendly white cardstock along with 3 Copic markers (or alcohol markers of your choice) and blend the colors together. (Start at the top of the paper with the lightest color, then medium color, then darkest color.)
- Use the 5140-01D Upper Case Alphabet with Stitch dies (letters, F, R, E, N, D) with the blended marker strips.
- Set aside.
- Using an A2 white cardbase, adhere the ink blended and splattered panel to the cardbase.
- Before adhering the letters on the card, place the one die cut cat for the letter ‘i’ on the card (don’t adhere, you just want to know where to put things and how to space the letters).
- Adhere letters onto the card.
- Adhere the die cut cat for the letter ‘i’ using foam tape on the back.
- Adhere another die cut cat with adhesive/glue to lay on top for the ‘end’ part of the letters.
- Optional: Decorate the inside of the card with the remaining die cut cat, along with a piece of the teal (blue/green cardstock and paint splatters) to the bottom corner of the cardbase.
