The Cat's Pajamas May Release Blog Hop

It is release day at the The Cat's Pajamas! Seven new stamps, seven new dies and new sequins are available for purchase in The Cat's Pajamas shop. We are celebrating the release with a blog hop. If you arrived here from the extremely talented Julee's blog you are in the right place. If not, then please return to Melissa's blog because she is the beginning of the hop.

I cut an opening onto a linen cardstock piece using the outer die from the new Farm Duo CutUps backed with patterned paper, then added a border strip on the side. I stamped the sentiment from the also new Scripted Sentiments set using weathervane ink. I also stamped the images from the super cute new Hay Neighbor set and cut out with the matching dies from the new Farming CutUps. After coloring the images with Copic markers, they were added to the card front using a layer of craft foam.

My second card features the new Birdcage die which I cut from linen cardstock and the two birds from the set from patterned paper. The image panel was cut and embossed with the new Flutter By CutUps, then one of the birds and the birdcage was attached. The sentiment from the new Scripted Sentiments set was stamped in black ink and I perched the second bird onto it. I am hoping the recipient sees the sick (bird in cage) to getting well (bird that is free) imagery I was going for. Using dies from the new Folklore Flowers CutUps, I cut the flower from patterned paper and the flower stem from cardstock, then trimmed so it would fit the card. The center of the flower was stamped using black ink and attached using a layer of craft foam. The stem was inserted in the bird cage holes at the top. There is something so fresh about yellow and green paired together.

{The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek} Hay Neighbor and Farm Duo

It's the last day of The Cat's Pajamas sneak peeks which coincides with Memorial Day here in the states.  So Happy Memorial Day to all my USA readers. It is a special day where we honor those in the military who have sacrificed to ensure our freedom.

The products have been released as sneak peeked but you have to wait until tonight to get special package pricing.

I started out by stamping the leaves image from the new Hay Neighbor onto a linen stitched cardstock piece. I then used the new Farm Duo die to cut from cardstock and patterned paper, then asssembled to create the farm scene. I attached it using a layer of craft foam for dimension. Such a wonderful die, you need it, I promise! I used To finish up I added a strip of matching patterned paper at the bottom of the image panel. The sentiment was stamped onto an oval piece cut with a die from the Framed Up CutUps, then attached with a layer of craft foam and highlighted with Nuvo Crystal Drops.

[The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek} Oil Will Always Love You

Welcome to another day of The Cat's Pajamas sneak peeks. All the new products will be made available for purchase as revealed throughout the week with the full release on May 28 at which time there will be special discounting.

We simply cannot have a release without the big eared bunny making an appearance. After stamping the images from the new Oil Will Always Love You onto Neenah cardstock rectangle, I colored with Copic markers and stamped the sentiment. I used two stitched dies to create a frame from gray cardstock and then stamped the small image onto it. The piece was attached to a side folding landscape card base. Simple and easy for a masculine card.

{The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peeks} Henna Tattoos

Welcome back to another day of The Cat's Pajamas sneak peeks. All the new products will be made available for purchase as revealed throughout the week with the full release on May 28.

For this card I did some spotlight coloring. I first stamped the whole image onto linen cardstock using black ink, then cut out the portion I wanted to coloring using a circle die. I  colored the circle portion using a combination of Nuvo Crystal Drops (Dandelion Drops, Red Berry, Caribbean Ocean and Apple Green) along with Copic coloring.  The colored portion was attached with a layer of craft foam for it to stand out more. A small strip of patterned paper was attached to the card front, then the image panel.
