Fun little birthday card.  Our family owns a black cat and she is very lovable.  When I saw this stamp set I knew I needed to own it.  Our cat goes in boxes and bags all the time and this reminded me of her.

I added some patterned paper so the card wouldn’t look so stark.  I stamped the cat with black ink and the yarn ball with yellow ink.  For the inside I used some more of the patterned paper and stamped the birthday sentiment.

These cards could be used for any occasion and could be for a male or female. I used the same stamp but just by using pink and blue card stock it gives the cards a different feel.  I chose two generic sentiments so that they could be used in a flash when needed.  I first die cut the frame out and then stamped the image onto the frame.  I then used markers and colored in the flowers and leaves.  The inside is left blank until I need it.

I’m not sure what kind of bird this is but I thought it was like a crackle.  I loved the frame it is so old timey.  I just added a little color to the bird and leaves and then did a wash around the bird with blue ink.  This card could be used in so many ways just by changing the sentiment, for my card I used the sentiment thank you.
