Pink, Playful, and Purr-fectly Sweet

Hello friends! I made a sweet birthday card that’s just right for February birthdays, pink lovers, and anyone who can’t resist an adorable kitty. And speaking of birthdays… happy birthday to Pajama Crafter Stamps! 🎉

For this card, I used the charming Meowentine stamp set for my focal image. This little kitty, full of personality, I stamped onto the gorgeous Scalloped Circle Die. This die instantly adds a soft, decorative touch and is such a standout—especially since it’s currently an especially sweet deal while supplies last.

The sentiment comes from the wonderfully versatile Mix & Match Sentiments stamp set. I love this set because it truly works for every occasion and includes both a bold, playful font and a small typewriter-style font. For this card, the small sentiment was perfect for nestling right next to the kitty on the scalloped circle without overwhelming the image.

For the background, I paired patterned paper from the Cat’s Meow Paper Pack with classic red cardstock for a pop of contrast. I’m also playing along with this month’s SSSIGChallenge over at @simonsayschallenge, which features using an embossing folder. I embossed pink cardstock, trimmed it into two banner shapes, and tucked them behind the scalloped circle to add texture and dimension.

This card came together so sweetly and would be perfect for birthdays, Valentine’s greetings, or anytime you want to send a little love. Be sure to stop by Pajama Crafter Stamps to check out these fantastic products and so much more!

This also fits the SCS WT1087 Challenge to use tiny stamps!  My kitty image is small, but the sentiments are tiny!  :)

This also fits Art Nudge 0126B with the cat theme.  My cat has a bright white tuxedo spot just as in the photo, but my pink is a softer color than the color palette. 

Meowentine Magic + A Vintage Christmas Bonus

Hello friends! Friday was Release Day over at Pajama Crafter Stamps, and I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this adorable Meowentine collection with you! There is still time to head over to the fun Instagram hop filled with sweet projects, inspiring ideas, and—of course—giveaways. You won’t want to miss a single stop.

👉 Come begin the hop on my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/bowdangel/

For today’s project, I created a super cute Double Triangle Gift Card Pocket card—a playful, interactive fold that feels like a tiny surprise waiting to happen. It’s perfect for Valentine gifting or anytime you want to tuck a treat inside.

Here’s how you can make one too:

1. Start with your base.

Score a full sheet of 8 ½" x 11" cardstock at 5 ½".

2. Rotate to portrait and score again at 4 ¼".

3. Cut on the diagonal.

Place the cardstock in your trimmer, line up corner to opposite corner, and cut. Now you’ll have two large triangle card bases.

4. Fold along both score lines using a bone folder for crisp, clean edges.

5. Add patterned paper.

Cut a piece at 5 ½" x 4 ¼", trim on the diagonal, then fit each triangle onto your folded sections and adhere.  Inside, I added a little pocket and stamped another image and sentiment from the Meowentine set to carry the theme throughout. It turns the whole card into a fun, coordinated gift card holder!

I decorated the triangular front with a sweet piece of The Cat’s Meow patterned paper — it’s purrfectly charming and couldn’t fit the theme better!

For the focal panel, I used the darling kitty and sentiment from the Meowentine Stamp Set. That set is going to be well-loved in my craft room… I can already tell! 😊

And because I couldn’t resist making one more project for Release Day…

✨ Bonus Project: Vintage Christmas Panel

For my second card, I reached for one of the stunning Vintage Christmas card panels. I die cut the panel with pretty faux-stitched edges to give it a warm, finished look. At the top, I added a large snowflake and layered an inner circle featuring the sentiment “Happy Christmas” from the Woodland Christmas Eve stamp set. Simple and elegant—but full of holiday charm!
