Keeping It Simple With The Cat's Pajamas

 

Happy Tuesday, Friends!  I hope that you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.  It was on the colder side here in New England, but it was wonderful none the less.  We went to Cape Cod to visit family, and while it was a bit chilly at the beach, it was still lovely.

 

I have a card to share with you for this month's TCP Challenge.  There are still a few days left to join us.  Just head on over to Alma's Blog for all of the details.  This month, she is challenging everyone to keep their creations on the clean and simple side.  I did my best with this card for my nephew.  This is the card for his 13th birthday!  Where has time gone?!?!?  I remember the morning I received the telephone call telling me he was born!  Oh boy, I must be getting old...lol!  This was a big challenge for me...masculine, teenager, and keeping it simple...ugh.

 

 

I started off by using the newly released Small Sayings set from The Cat's Pajamas and the newly released Talk to Me CutUps.  The patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye and I used chocolate and kraft card stock.  I added a few buttons with some Brown Sugar Divine Twine to keep things on the simple side.  There you have it...a clean and simple card for a teenage boy!  Let's hope that he likes it!  Thanks so very much for stopping by for a visit.  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 Packers and Swanky Stampers have 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 Alma's Blog so that you can stop by all of the blogs.

 

My card for today features my adorable, long eared friend!   Today, he is going places!  His bags are packed and he's ready to go!  The image and the sentiment are from the new Travelin' Man set.  I colored him up with Copic Markers (B34, B37, BG000, BG15, BG18, C2, E40, E41, E42, R20, R22, R27, R29, Y21, YG91, and YG93) and then I fussy cut him out.  I layered this image onto a circle that I embossed with the Seeing Spots embossing folder.  All of the patterned papers are from the Campfire collection from October Afternoon.  I added a button and some fuzzy twine to finish this one up.   

 

 

Your next stop on The Cat's Pajamas Blog Hop is the very sweet and talented, Julie! Be sure to head on over to her blog and leave a little love!  Thank you so much for visiting with me! Have a beautiful day and until next time...Toodles! :D

Another TCP Sneak Peek!

 

Happy Monday, Friends!  Tonight is the night!  The Pajama Party over at Splitcoaststampers for the upcoming release from The Cat's Pajamas is this evening from 8-10pm EST (5-7pm PST)!! You will also want to head over to Splitcoaststampers to check out the In It To Win It thread for a chance to win today's set.  The set that I'm showcasing today is called Summer Sayings.  I paired it up with the very soon to be released Glasses CutUps die.  This set is filled with just about every summer saying that you can think of.  I stamped each sentiment in three different Memento inks.  The glasses were made with some orange and black scraps.  To tie everything together, I added some TCP Mango Seam Binding and a black button.  I finished my creation off with some faux stitching.

 

See you tonight over at the Pajama Party!  Thanks so much for visiting with me today, and I hope that you'll stop by tomorrow for the New Release Blog Hop!  Until then...Toodles!  :D

More TCP Sneaky Peeks!

Happy Saturday, Friends!  I'm back today with another sneak peek for the upcoming release from The Cat's Pajamas.  Today's peek features my long eared friend again.  This time around he is ready to celebrate America.  The image and sentiment are from the soon to be released set, Aim High.  I used Copic Markers (B37, C0, C1, C2, R20, R22, R27, and R29) to color him up and then I fussy cut him out.  I went with a patriotic theme on this one and did a little take on the American flag.  The stripes are some polka dotted scraps layered onto a navy card stock panel.  The stars were made with the TCP 3x3 Stars CutUps and I added a few buttons that I dressed up with some Blueberry Divine Twine.
 

 

Be sure to visit Alma's blog and she'll let you know who to visit for the other peeks today. The release date for all of the new sets and dies will be this Tuesday, May 21st. But, you'll want to join us for The Pajama Party over at Splitcoaststampers on Monday, March 20th from 8-10pm EST (5-7pm PST).  In the meantime, you'll want to head over to the In It To Win It thread over on Splitcoaststampers for a chance to win this set.  Thanks so much for visiting with me.  Until next time...Toodles!  :D

Sneaky Peek Week!

Happy Tuesday, Friends!  It is going to be an exciting week because the Cat Packers have lots of Sneaky Peeks for the upcoming release from The Cat's Pajamas!  I have a card for you showcasing the soon to be released set, Life's a Beach.  I just love this floppy eared rabbit!  He is colored up with Copic Markers (BG000, BG01, E13, E15, E17, E29, E40, E41, E42, R20, R22, R27, and R29) and part of his umbrella is paper pieced with some polka dots from Jillibean Soup.  The sentiment is from the same set.  My other accents include some Divine Twine and a big o' button.  I kept this design on the simple side because this card is also for this month's TCP Tuesday Challenge, and that is exactly what Alma is challenging everyone to do this month...keep your designs clean and simple!  To join in on all of the fun, please visit Alma's Blog for more details.
