Magical Fibres & a Giveaway!

Hello Everyone!  Happy February!  I’ve got a fun week ahead here on the blog with some sweet inspiration, plus Giveaways throughout the week!  Today I’ve got a endearing design showcasing  The Cat’s Pajamas stamp set called Woof.  These pups with their cute faces are perfect to lighten your spirits.  I coloured this scratchy dude with Copics and then cut him out with the coordinating die for this set.   I made use of a whole bunch of fun patterned paper for this month’s TCP Patterned Paper Challenge.  I love patterned paper.  It’s such a weakness for me when I see it!  So, I love an excuse to bust out some colour and pattern for it.  

 

I’ve also added a number of The Cat’s Pajamas dies into the mix for the design including TCP’s Porthole Duo Die for the circle layer, the fence, cut with TCP’s Slimline Suburbs CutUps and the little grass patch is cut with TCP’s Grassy Patches CutUps (see giveaway at the end of my post!)  

I’ve added the sentiment from the set and a wood veneer heart to accent.  

GIVEAWAY ALERT!

Magical Fibres & a Giveaway!

TCP’s Live, Love, Bark

I’m popping in for Day 5 of the Sneaky Peek Week at The Cat’s Pajamas!  And today’s set will speak to the heart of all the puppy lovers out there.  

Introducing TCP’s Live, Love, Bark Stamp!  How can you resist a cute pup having his own bubble bath!  

For this card I used both the stamp set and the coordinating die that’s available and you can get them in a Bundle.  This little guy is coloured with Copic Markers.  Super easy, because he’s black and white, and all you need is a little shading and colouring of the tub and bubbles.  

I made him a fun background with TCP’s Great Outdoors Stencil, using Amethyst and Blue-Green inks to give the fun colour to the rising bubbles.  He’s framed up with TCP’s Framed Up 2 Dies, and I’ve added a layer of polka-dot embossed vellum underneath him.  

Some coordinating plaid paper, a sentiment from TCP’s Bubble Therapy Set and some mirrored holeless sequins and twine finish off the design.  And here is a peek at the set and coordinating Dies.  

Are you In It to Win It?  All week of this release you have a chance to win a $10 Gift Code to the TCP Store!  All you need to do is comment on each of these blogs from The Cat Pack (and Instagram where applicable) and you’re entered to win!  Winners will be announced the next day on the TCP Blog!

TCP’s Live, Love, Bark

Cozy Corgis

Friday greetings friends.  I can’t believe it’s the last day of November!   It feels like the whole month passed by without being able to blink.  My husband and I had a celebration trip to beautiful Mexico for my birthday for one week, and then the day after we got back we trekked from our home in Alberta to North Dakota to empty out my in-laws' home, so it was ready for sale.  My husband’s parents are both in a nursing home now because of their health, so it is a lot of change for all of us.  It was a very full 4 1/2 days of heavy duty work to clean everything out,  them we drove back home in snow and ice, to go right back to work!  We’ve been pretty exhausted on all levels.  

So I finally felt like creating again, and actually had a few hours to pull something sweet together.  I pulled out Power Poppy’s adorable  Christmas Corgis stamp set, and that sweet pair of loving pups, nose to nose under the mistletoe for this design, giving them colour with Copics.  

After choosing some fun patterns of designer paper, I sewed some zig zag stitching, and added a pretty grossgrain stitched bow.  I felt like it just needed a little something else, so I also pulled out Power Poppy’s delicate and nostalgic set,  Grandma’s Snowflakes, embossing in white, and then used the coordinating dies to cut the shapes out.  I think it provides just the right accent.  

Aren’t those snowflakes incredibly detailed?  It really feels like crochet, especially with the raised embossing.  A cute little sentiment from the set finishes it off!   Here are the copics I used below.
