Hello! Cats have a timeless charm that makes them the purr-fect subject for handmade cards. Whether playful or cozy, feline friends bring personality and warmth to your designs. These cards make wonderful choices for occasions like birthdays, Halloween, thank-yous, or just-because moments. Join me as I share a roundup of cat-themed creations from my blog archive.

There’s something irresistibly charming about cats on cards. They bring a playful and timeless appeal to any design! I hope this roundup has inspired you to use cats as a theme in your own creations. While putting this roundup together, I realized that many of my cat cards feature stamped images that I’ve colored. I own several silhouette cat dies and have used them on a number of cards (although none are included in this roundup). While silhouettes create a bold and classic design, most cats aren’t a solid color, so stamping and coloring allow for more variety and detail. Do you have favorite cat stamps or dies? Is there a cat-themed set on your wish list?
You are right about coloring cat stamps. You can get that Calico look! My favorite cat dies are silhouette dies. I have all views and my favorite one is the one of their back looking out. I adore the Art Impression card, your mixture of cats is amazing!
Darling kitty cards, Jean – fun to revisit them with you! I love cats & have a bunch of stamps and dies featuring them. Of the ones you shared today, I think the cat among the books is my fave – so sweet!
