Happy Autumn - TCPTUES373

 Happy Autumn is right! I am not sure about you, but it is just now beginning to feel and look like Autumn here.  It is the last week to play along with The Cat's Pajamas Stamps TCPTUES373 of Autumn.  The Cat Pack have made some awesome creations with the newest release to include some fantastic felt crafts.  If you haven't had a chance to check it out, head over to the TCP Blog to see all the fun crafty creations.

For my card in this challenge, I am using the new release Cut Up of Stitched Tree Duo to make this Autumn card of falling leaves.  Remember Basic Grey? I still have many of their patterned paper packs, because, well I really liked them.  I used some of that patterned paper as the background of the card after cutting out the center with the frame of the Cut Up.  I then placed back in the tree cutout before popping  up and placing around the leaves I cut out in various colors.

The sentiment was stamped directly onto the base and finished with a few self adhesive pearls.  I really like the simplicity of this tree cutout against the patterned paper.  Feels Fall like to me!  I hope you all have a great Tuesday and thanks for popping in!

The Cat's Pajamas Stamps New Release Day Blog Hop - Tea Time

 

It's release day with The Cat's Pajamas Stamps!! I hope you all enjoyed and saw all the wonderful sneak peeks. The kitty cat pack outdid themselves with their creations and projects!

Today, you can see some final projects using the newest products and the pack does not disappoint! Start HERE for the blog hop with the fabulous Julee. 

For my card, I created one using the new Alice stamp set and the new Clock Stencilz. 

The colors I used brought out the vintage look and I went with creating it with that look. I used some Distress Inks and the TCP Big Beautiful Blending Brush to go over the stencilz.  I used two colors to get the look and that panel was attached to some lace ribbon I had in my stash. Ribbon.. remember that? I find myself not really using it as much as I used to, but I still love it. How about you? Anyway, I digress.. The image was stamped and colored in with Copics before using the coordinating dies to cut it out and pop it over the top panel.  I stamped the sentiment directly onto the top panel and finished the card with a few self adhesive pearls.  

Thanks for popping in and taking a peek! Make it a great one!

The Cat;s Pajamas Stamps - Sneaky Peek Day 5 - Slimline Dies

 

It's day 5 of The Cat's Pajamas Stamps and today is all about the fun Cut Ups called Slimline Dies. These are so fun to use to create a scene, but the best part is that these Cut Ups are longer than the usual card sized die.  So you can create those long slim cards with these dies without having to piece it together.

For my card, I made a CAS all white scene using the dies from both sets of Slimlines.

I initially thought I would make this into a Welcome card, but saw this perfect sentiment from the new release set of Follow Your Arrow.The back panel is a sky blue color card stock which then I layered and popped up the rest of the scene.  It was completed with a few rhinestones.

The Cat's Pajamas Stamps - Sneak Peek - Just Be You

 

Hey crafty friends!  

It's day 4 of sneaky peeks with The Cat's Pajamas Stamps and today's set is just adorable!! The World is Yours... how cute is this? When making my card I envisioned a sunset and a calm look out from these two. 

I colored in the image with Copics and the sky, which looks a little more brown than it should, was masked and the TCP Big Beautiful Blending Brush was used with some Distress Inks to create the sky.  For the grass, I am also using the new release Cut Ups of  Slimline Basics. The card was finished by adding the sentiment directly onto the panel and the leaves stamped throughout.  I could not go without some sparkle, so I added a little Wink of Stella onto the leaves.

 Happy Tuesday!

It's a new TCPTUES challenge and this one is all about animals! The TCP store has many adorable animal images to add to your stash if you don't have them already and perfect to play along.

For my card, I am using the super cute set of I'm Not Fat.  Boy, I will tell you, that seems to be my motto during this quarantine and motivating me to exercise. Ahhh.... who am I kidding?! I don't exercise nearly enough. LOL! 

This card is CAS and to the point to say I am sorry.  :)  The image was stamped directly onto the main panel and the flowers/grass were colored in with Copics. I brushed in a little yellow color in the corner for the sun and stamped the sentiment in the center. The card was finished with a red panel in the back and some self adhesive rhinestones.

The Cat's Pajamas Stamps - TCPTUES371 - Hello Winter

 Happy Tuesday crafty friends!

There is still time to play along in this months challenge, TCPTUES371 of Slimline.  I love a long card and never make them, or at least many of them.  This challenge will get your thinking cap going and mojo flowing! 

For my card, I am using the newly release Cut Ups of Cardinal Duo and Hello Winter.  Both are beautiful dies that make card making easy and if you are needing bulk amounts, these dies will help. 

This card started with some heavy card stock in cream and used the same card stock to cut out the Cardinal Duo and the Hello Winter.  Using some red card stock, I cut out just the piece of the duo where the cardinal is situated to glue on top of the cream duo cut out. The same red card stock cut out was used for Hello Winter.  Once I knew where I wanted the cardinal duo to be placed, I brushed in a little yellow and orange distress inks for a background using the TCP Big Beautiful Blending Brush.  If you haven't gotten yourself one, you must!! It is a tool you need in your stash.  The duo was popped up using some foam tape and the Hello Winter was doubled layered to give it an outline.  This was also popped up.  I finished the card by spraying lightly over the card some shimmer water that I made, adding some glitter to the cardinal, a few muted rhinestones, and a thin strip of card stock to the bottom.

We hope you are able to play along with the Cat Pack to create some slimline cards! For more inspiration, check out the TCP Blog for more amazing creations! Thanks for popping in and hope you have a great one.

The Cat's Pajamas July Release and Blog Hop

Happy Tuesday crafty friends!  The time has arrived for the The Cat's Pajamas Stamps July New Release and Blog Hop!! Woot!! If you have arrived from the creative Brenda's blog, you are in the right spot!  

We hope you have enjoyed the week of Sneaky Peeks and it helped get your holiday mojo started.  This release is has got me ready for the holidays but really... it has gotten me for the end of 2020! LOL! 

For this card, I am using the new Cut Up of Little Truck along with the new release set of Oh Holy Night and one of my favorite Cut Ups - Evergreen Trees.

I used the Evergreen Trees for the background and then using the TCP Big Beautiful Blending Brush, I brushed in the sky and ground with some Distress Inks.  I added a few trees to the back of the truck from the Oh Holy Night set and directions to Santa. The card was finished with a touch of Stickles to the tops of the trees.

This next card was fun to make using the new Peek-a-boo Frames. I stamped the image from the new set of Warmest Wishes above the frame as his fishing hole while leaving  a lot of white space to make him the focus but completed the front with a snowflake cut up. 

When the frame is open, you will get a warm sentiment to share. :)

Your Next Stamp - You Are More Than Enough

Happy Friday Eve!

Today is my last day guesting with Your Next Stamp and I am sharing with you another  new set that was released called Positive Affirmations.  I know right now, there are many people who could use some of these sentiments or even just a nice pick me up.

I wanted to keep this CAS to showcase the sentiment.  I decided on a simple watercolor background and stamped the sentiment directly on top of that.  The included heart was added as were some fun YNS Gumdrops from various collections.  I layered the watercolor on top of a black panel and adhered that to the base of the card.  

Thank you for taking a peek here, but be sure to stop by the YNS Blog to see more awesome inspriation by the DT and my other creation from the last 3 days.  Have a great day!
