Sail Away with Sunny Studio Stamps

Hello! Today, I am thrilled to share with you a whimsical, nautical-themed card combining the Sunny Studio Stamps Birthday Cat stamp set (and coordinating die set) with other products in my stash. The Sunny Studio Stamps Birthday Cat stamp set is packed with cat images that can be used for a variety of occasions, not just birthdays. This card showcases stamping, watercoloring, stenciling, and die-cutting techniques. Send this card to a cat lover, nautical enthusiast, or to brighten someone’s day.

    • Stamp Birthday Cat images with VersaFine ink on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper, heat set, and watercolor with mediums of choice. When dry, cut with the coordinating dies.
    • Cut sailboat pieces from cardstock and foam (for depth). Glue pieces together. I used a now-retired Paper Smooches die set to create the sailboat.
    • Create the background by applying white pigment ink on light-blue cardstock through one of the stencils in the Lawn Fawn Cloud Background set.
    • To create the waves, cut Cosmic Sky cardstock with a die in the Ocean Wave Borders set. Trim and add to cloud background. Cut assembly to 4 x 5 1/4 inches and add to white canvas texture cardstock base.
    • Adhere sailboat pieces to card.
    • Cut sentiment with Journal Letter dies from white cardstock and foam. Glue together and adhere to card front.
    • Add cats to the boat.

Pawsitively Adorable | Sunny Studio Stamps Birthday Cats

Hello! Today I am sharing an adorable birthday card featuring two feline friends ready for a purr-fect party. These charming cats, stamped with the Sunny Studio Stamps Birthday Cat set, have been brought to life with watercoloring. This card would be perfect for any cat lover or someone who appreciates adorable and whimsical designs.

Sunny Studio Stamps Birthday Cat

I paired the Birthday Cat set with other supplies from my stash to help bring the scene to life. This stamp set, and the coordinating die set, are my first ever Sunny Studio Stamps supplies. I just could not resist the cute illustrations.

    • Stamp Birthday Cat images on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper with VersaFine ink; heat set.
    • Color images with watercoloring mediums of choice. Once dry, cut with coordinating dies. Check out this post on watercoloring stamped images.
    • To create the background within the circle, add Tumbled Glass and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide inks to white cardstock, using a piece of vellum as a mask while applying the inks. Once dry, stencil clouds with white pigment ink using one of the Lawn Fawn Cloud Background stencils.
    • Cut balloons with dies in the Lawn Fawn Party Balloons set from cardstock to which Distress Oxide inks have been applied. Cut balloon strings from white cardstock, glue to balloons, and trim as necessary.
    • Stamp sentiment from the Let’s Celebrate set in black on red cardstock. Cut a 2 1/2 inch circle from the stamped panel with die in the Everlasting Circles set. Cut panel again with a rectangular stitched die, measuring 4 x 5 1/4 inches. I used one from a now-retired My Favorite Things Blueprints die set.
    • Adhere frame to the stenciled scene background and the assembly to a card base of Bazzill Canvas cardstock.
    • Add cats and balloons to scene with foam and dot adhesive.
