Winter is coming....

It's that time of year where we are all working hard on our holiday cards! Today, I wanted to share this card I made with you because everyone should have these adorable snowmen and gnome in their collection! I love that they are singing together. 

 

For this card, I wanted to use soft non-traditional holiday colors so I went with pinks and purples. I used the Winter Gnomes digital stamp set from The Cats Pajamas. I used copic markers to color the image and added a little snowbank and some patterned paper. I also used the sentiment that came in the same digital image set. I added a few embellishments and tada! You have a sweet winter/holiday card! I hope you like it. Get your digital images! There are so many available, but especially holiday cuties!

Have a faboolous Halloween!

 We are days away from Halloween and I am here to share my last spooky card of the season. I used the Faboolous digital images, as well as the Hide and Eek digital images from the shop to create this fun but creepy card!

 

I created an easel card with this creepy lil' critter! I created a stopper on the front using some dies I had in my stash. I colored the images with copic markers. I used N2, 4, and 6 for the headstones and C0, 1, and 3, as well as, R24 for the creepy guy. I fussy cut him out and popped him up on dimensionals and glued the headstones directly to my die cut.

Melt My Ice!

 Hello friends! Corinna here, with a sweet digital release for September from The Cats Pajamas! Look at these two being so sweet and cuddly! 

 

I started by using a background stamp with stars and I used white embossing powder. I then used distress oxide inks to blend the background. I used uncharted mariner, peacock feathers, and speckled egg. I printed the digital images  and used copic colors to color them in. I used warm greys. I fussy cut the image and the sentiment. I used some tree dies to add some interest to the background and then used foam tape to attach the digital image! I absolutely love this card and the color palette. 

 

 

Go check out the awesome September release. I love it! Have a great day kitties!

 

Reindeer Kisses - The Cats Pajamas

 Happy Tuesday Kitties! Corinna here, showing off this sweet digital stamp called Reindeer Wishes! It comes with images and sentiments and is too darling for the holiday season. While I am not ready to let Summer go, I am really excited about the upcoming holidays. They always give me such feels, even if I am not ready for the cold weather. Perhaps I need to move somewhere warm. Reindeer exist everywhere, right!? 

 

 

This card was super simple to make. I printed out the sentiment and images on X-press It cardstock and used my copics to color up the images. Here are the colors I used:

Reindeer: E23, E25, E29, R29, C1 (& Spectrum Noir Glitter pens: Golden Glow and Moonlit Silver, for the collar and bells)

Penguin: W1, W3, YR09, R27, R29 (& Spectrum Noir Glitter pens: Golden Glow and Moonlit Silver, for Christmas Light Bulb)

I fussy cut the images and outlined with a black marker. I then worked on my background. I used two different patterned papers and used a border die to cut my snowy hills. I popped that up on foam tape. I used foam tape and regular adhesive on my images.

I hope for those who are in areas with seasons, you are enjoying your last bit of Summer. Winter will be here before we know it! 

Gnome Peaking! Christmas in July with The Cats Pajamas!

 Hello fellow kitties! It's Corinna here, and it's already that time of the year when us crazy crafters start thinking about the holiday season! We are beginning to create cards and projects for the winter holidays! Here is a darling card using the gnome peeking digital file.

 

I turned this card into a shaker card with only the middle circle having the shaker element. I colored the adorable little gnomes using Spectrum Noir Triblends and fussy cut the gnomes and have them 'peeking' through the circles. I added the sentiment to the middle circle/shaker element with green shimmer paper! I love how festive this card looks.

Life's a Beach

 Take me to the beach, and leave me there! It's that time of year when it's sunny and warm and the beach is calling my name! I made a card that represented how I feel during this time of year... a little silly, a little crazy, and A LOT OF FUN!  Life's A Beach Digi is perfect for summer! 

For this card, I used Bristol Smooth and ink blended using Abandoned Coral, Saltwater Taffy, Scattered Straw, Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina, and Antique Linen Distress Oxides. I also used my copic markers at the bottom of the background scene. I colored up the digi image with copics and used my spectrum noir glitter pen on the umbrella. And you know, I had to add the freckles to the sweet bunny's nose! - It's a simple card, but so colorful and bright for summer!

Ship Happens!

 

I made this sweet card using May's digital release! Specifically the ship happens digital image.  I first printed the image and colored it with copic markers. I then fussy cut the image. I used a fun perforated wave die for the ocean and glued it to the card base. I used Bristol Smooth cardstock to ink blend clouds for the sky portion and glued that to the top of the card. I used foam tape on the digital image. I took the 'ship happens' sentiment that is also a part of the digital image and I cut that using my paper trimmer and colored the whole strip with a copic marker.

Here is a closer look:

I hope you check out the new digital release and get yourself some goodies!

 

 To celebrate the April release for The Cats Pajamas, I used these adorable digital images to create a scalloped circle shaped card that stands up on its own. How 'stinkin' cute are these sweeties!?

This was a quick and easy one. I folded a piece of 8.5 X 11 cardstock and used a scalloped circle die that I laid slightly on top of the fold and ran it through my die cutting machine. This way, it does not cut through the fold and you can create any shaped card! I used the same die and cut a patterned piece of paper and glued that on top of the folded card base. I printed out the Into The Woods digital images (don't forget the sentiment) and colored them in with copic markers. I used the following:

Skunk: W10, W7, and W1

Squirrel: E23, E35, and E29

I fussy cut out the imagines and used my paper trimmer to cut the sentiment. I die cut a heart out and popped it up with foam tape, and added stickles! I added everything to the card base and viola... The card is complete! :D Quick and easy, but super cute! And the sentiment are just darling. This card will definitely be given to my stinkin' fiance. :D

Here is a close up:

The Cat's Pajamas March Release! // New Design Team!

Hello my crafty friends! I have been lucky enough to be selected for the Cat's Pajamas Desin Team! I am so excited to work with many talented women, and some fabulous products. Here are my first two projects using their files!

Spring is on the way and I have been in the mood to get ready for that warm weather and the Easter holiday! I dont know about you, but I love that Spring represents growth and new beginnings! Today, I have two cards for you that I made with cutables from the March release. For both, I used Spring Animals and Grassy Patches cutting files.

The first card is bright and fun.

I ink blended the background and used a die that cut three different rectangular shapes. I used my cricut to cut out the SVGs of the little chick and bunny. I also ink blended the interior rectangles and I glued the adorable animals inside the first two rectangles. I used the interior rectangle from the top, stamped a sentiment on it, and glued it into the bottom space. I absolutely adore these lil guys, but especially the bunny with such great big ears! Don't you think it adds character? 

I had to use all of the cute lil spring animals so I made another card using the Spring Animals.

For this card, I used masking paper and die cut an oval I had in my stash. I removed the oval masking paper and left on the reverse. I ink blended using Distress Oxides in Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet, Abandoned Coral, Wild Honey, and Squeezed Lemonade. I used my Cricut  to cut the cute chickadee and lamb from the Spring Animals SVG cutting files, as well as the grassy border from the cutable file. Before I glued them onto the card, I put the masking tape of the oval back on the card and removed the outside area and used a stencil and stickles glitter gel in the color Nebula to add some shimmer and shine! I removed the masking tape, let it dry, and glued everything together. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment.

Below are the cutable files I used for both cards.

I hope you liked my first two cards with the design team. I could not be more excited to design projects using these fantastic products and work with these terriffic kitties!
