New Release Wrap Up and a Winner!!!

Hello Friends!  I hope that you have had a wonderful week.  It has been wonderful, but very busy here...many different church services, Measurement Marathon for my second graders at school, state testing for my own little one, dinner with a dear friend, and the best part...the new release from The Cat's Pajamas!  I have a few more cards to share that I made with some of the new goodies.  Would you like to see them?  Well, here they are whether you want to see them or not...lol!  You'll at least want to read to the end of this post to see who wins one of the newly released stamp sets from TCP!!!



 

For this card, I used the new Key Phrases set, the Lock & Heart Background stamp, and the new Key to Your Heart CutUps.

 

I've already sent out this card to my newly engaged cousin!  I used the new Words of Love set and the Lock & Heart Background stamp.  I also used the new Heart Swirl CutUps and the Heart Toppers CutUps.

 

 

My last card uses my sweet, floppy eared friend from the new Hare Today set.  I colored him up with Copic Markers (BG10, BG11, BG13, E11, E13, E15, E51, R11, R20, R22, YG13, YG17) and then I fussy cut him out.  The patterned papers are from October Afternoon.  My other accents include the Flower Button CutUps, a button with some doubled up Craft Twine, and a touch of machine stitching. 

 

And now...the winner!!  I wrote out all of the commenter's names on pieces of paper, put them in a pile, and then I pulled out the name of...WANDA GUESS!!!  Congratulations, Wanda!  You get to pick a stamp set of your choice from the latest release from The Cat's Pajamas!

 

Thanks so much for visiting with me tonight!  Have a Happy Friday!  Until next time...Toodles!  :D



The Cat's Pajamas Release Day and Blog Hop!!!

Good Morning, Friends! It is Blog Hop Day for the new release from The Cat's Pajamas. All of the new stamps and dies that the Cat Pack has been sharing over the last week are now available!!  Hopefully, you found your way here by Noelle's Blog. If you just happened to stop by, you will want to begin the hop over at Jen's Blog so that you can stop by all of the TCP designers' blogs. I have it on good authority that a Cat Packer or two will have a special prize for a lucky friend, so be sure to leave a comment on each designers' blog and maybe you will be the lucky winner!

 

 

My card for release day is from the new set called, Sock Monkey.  How cute is this little guy!  I colored him up with Copic Markers (C1, C1, C3, R27, R29, and R59) and then I fussy cut him out.  The sentiment is from the same set.  The papers are from My Mind's Eye (woodgrain) and Jillibean Soup (polka dots).  I added some zigzag stitching and then I dressed up the corner with a cluster of buttons that I finished off with some Black Licorice Divine Twine. 

 

Your next stop on The Cat's Pajamas Blog Hop is the very talented, Alma!  Be sure to head on over to her blog and leave a comment for your chance to win a little something from this fabulous release!

Show Me The Magic - Sneak Peek!!!

 

Happy Sunday, Friends!  I have one more sneak peek from The Cat's Pajamas for you.  Tomorrow evening is the big Pajama Party over at Splitcoaststampers.  I hope that you'll be able to join us.  

 

Today's peek is for the Show Me The Magic set.  I simply love this bear.  He is such fun to color!  I used just a few Copic Markers (B39, E21, E23, E25, YR20, and YR21) to color him up.  In case you haven't noticed from the last couple of cards that I've made, I am in love with these Family Ties papers from Pebbles...fun colors and patterns!  I stamped the sentiment with Memento Paris Dusk ink.  The stars along the bottom were made with the Pinwheels CutUps dies and then I dressed them up with some silver brads. 

 

 

Here is a peek at the whole set.

 

 

Be sure to head over to the TCP Forum on Splitcoaststampers and leave a comment on the TCP  "In It To Win It!" Thread. You could win this stamp set by just leaving a comment.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Until next time...Toodles!  :D

 

 





Another Sneaky Peek!

Are you ready for another peek at the soon to be released goodies from The Cat's Pajamas?

 



Today's card features the Tied Up set.  I colored up this delightful bear with Copic Markers (C1, C3, E11, E13, and E15) and then I fussy cut him out.  The sentiment is stamped with Memento Paris Dusk ink.  All of the papers are from the Family Ties collection from Pebbles.  I used the Buttons CutUps and some Blueberry Divine Twine to finish off my card. 

 

Here is a peek at the whole set.

Are You Ready For a New Release!!!

Hello Friends!  Are you ready for some sneak peeks of the soon to be released products from The Cat's Pajamas?  You are going to LOVE them!  As always, Alma has created a wonderful mix of the pretty AND the cute...lol!  I combined my peek with this month's TCP Tuesday Challenge (white and/or cream and/or black and/or kraft with one patterned paper and two layers).  Have you played in this month's challenge yet?  There is still time!  For more details and the link for your creation, please visit Alma's blog.  We would love for you to join us!
 

Today's sneak peek is from the "Hare Today" set. 

If you have visited my blog before, you know that I have a soft spot for floppy eared bunnies and this sweet image is no exception.  I colored him up with Copic Markers (B0000, B02, B06, C5, C7, E40, E41, E42, R00, R11) and used a square Nestibilites die and a little fussy cutting to cut him out.  The sentiment is also from this set and it is stamped in Memento Bahama Blue ink.  The patterned paper is from the Family Ties collection from Pebbles.  I added some zigzag stitching and then a bunch of buttons that I dressed up with some Black Licorice Divine Twine.

 

Here is a peek at the whole set...

 

 

And for some more peeks at it, be sure to visit the other Cat Packers that are previewing today...Susan, Julie, Nancy, Noelle, and Wendy.

It's Time for a TCP Tuesday Challenge!

 

Hello, Friends!  I am back today with a card for this month's TCP Tuesday Challenge.  Alma has really created a fun challenge and I hope that you will be able to play along with us!  This time around, Alma would like you to use white, and/or cream and/or kraft and/or black and one other color of your choice. Not too hard to accomplish, but then she throws in a twist...lol!  Along with that mix of colors, she wants you to limit yourself to one patterned paper and only two layers on your card! (The base is not counting as a layer.)  Here is the link to Alma's Blog so that you can link up your creation, and here is my card...hope that you like orange...lol!

 

 

I wanted to use some of my TCP stamps that haven't seen a lot of love lately, so I took out the By The Sea set and found this penguin friend and sentiment.  I used Copic Markers (BG000, BG01, YR15, YR16, YR18, and the Colorless Blender) to color up this little guy.  The sentiment is stamped in white Colorbox ink.  I added some faux stitching to the left of the patterned paper and a cluster of buttons from my stash to the top corner.  I always like to dress up my buttons, so I added some Black Licorice Divine Twine to each one.  That is about all for this card!   

 

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit.  Have a beautiful day...Toodles!  :D
