Sunny Studio - Graduation Kitty Shaker Tags

Hello there,

I'm super happy to be back on Sunny Studio's blog with those six graduation shaker tags showcasing the ever so cute kitty from Grad Cat. Love this sweet little guy so much I thought it would be fun to create a variety of cats with matching bow ties and books.

I started off by stamping six kitties, books and bow ties, all from Grad Cat, on Transotype perfect coloring paper using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it Brush markers. I colored each kitty in a different way to make each one of them unique, and once the coloring was done, I stamped a star, again from Grad Cat, on each book spine.

Next I created six shaker tags using the same process as the Meow & Furever tags I made back in January. The papers I used are from the Heroic Halftones paper pack, and these are perfect because they look like they're shining a light on each kitty that just graduated. So, I made those tags using the Mini Mat & Tags 3 die set, and to decorate the top I cut and glued a gold glitter star using a die from the Mini Mat & Tags 4 die set, and used gold thread from my stash to make handles.

I attached each kitty and book on their matching tags using 1mm foam squares, and then I created the greetings. I cut six speech bubbles out of matching cardstock using a die from the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles die set, next I cut six more speech bubbles out of gold glitter cardstock, I attached a gold glitter speech bubble behind each colored speech bubble, and then stuck the elements on the tags using 1mm foam squares again. As always I finished the tags by adding highlights and details on the images and speech bubbles using a white gel pen.
