happy purr-day!

Hello friends!

Happy Saturday!

Today is the last day of Cat Lovers Hop 2021 and I am showcasing a cute Purr-thday card for the loved one!

I think the cat looks adorable out of PP. Also wanted to try using some strings stitched through the holes! Isn't it so fun!

Firstly I stamped the cat image on a dotted PP and fussy cut it.


On a stitched holes rectangle white panel I stitched a crisis cross pattern using pink double shaded embroidery floss. On a thinking cloud, stamped a birthday cup and watecolored it.



I heat embossed the sentiment on a fishtail strip of black CS using Wow EP. I grounded the sentiment with a strip of multicoloured zig-zag stripes PP.


Created a snowfall background at the top. As an embellishment, I added a flower sequin to the cat head and a tiny golden heart to the black strip.
I can just imagine this cute cat sitting on strings and the dream she gets into ........ and enjoying snowflakes on her birthday!!

It's a fun Christmas card. I like the designer paper you stamped the cat on and the string. I dream of cake too. Well, actually just the frosting. [Bunny]

I'm a big fan of stripes and polka dots (not to mention cute kitties!). And the texture of the added stitching is purrfect. Pretty card, Vinita.

This is super sweet and pretty! There are so many things about your card I love! Pretty polka-dot kitty, and so smart how you ran the twine/floss across and into the little holes on the border! Great card!
