Birthday Kitty

I made another kitty card today, this one for a birthday.

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and made of black card stock.  I cut a wood grain layer at 5 1/4"x4" and a grey polka dot layer at 4 1/4"x3."  I used the insert shape feature in Cricut Design Space to cut the circles and the stars.  The black circle is 3 1/4," the wood grain circle is 3," the larger star is 1 1/4," and the smaller star is 3/4."  I then  covered the stars with yellow glitter and popped up the smaller one with foam tape.

The banner in the background is from "The First Few Years" cartridge.  I cut it from silver glitter card stock at 1"x3."  The kitty is from SVG Cutting Files.  It is called Chunky Cat with Present and Party Hat.  I used foam tape to pop up the feet and also to pop up the kitty on the circle.  I also covered the eyes and nose with glossy accents.  I added some yellow pearls to the party hat as well.  I finished off the card with a sentiment from the So Many Birthdays stamp set by Jaded Blossom.

I made this for the following challenges:
