{The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek} The World is Yours


Hello. I am back with another The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek. There are 4 new stamp sets, 8 new die sets and one new stencil in this release. This includes two stamp and die bundles which are available to purchase separately or as a bundle with special pricing. All the new products will be available for purchase as revealed throughout the week with the full release on September 29 at which time there will be additional discounting known in the TCP world as the Kitty Kat or Poochie Pack.

Today we are featuring the new and oh so sweet The World is Yours set. This set looks beautifully colored with any medium. 


I stamped the image from the new The World is Yours set onto Copic friendly cardstock and cut out with a stitched die. After masking the image, I blended speckled egg distress ink onto the background and splashed rich cocoa ink using a small brush. The images were colored with Copic markers and the sentiment was stamped directly onto the panel with rich cocoa ink. The panel was attached to a cardstock and patterned panel. I broke out some older products too using the Heart Swirl to cut a piece from cardstock as well as the faux buttons using the Buttons CutUps. I cut them from cardstock then used some gathered twigs distress ink to grunge them up a bit. I have always loved buttons on my projects but I have just about quit using them because of the bulk when mailing. 

Products: The Cat's Pajamas stamps and dies, Honey Bee dp, PTI cs, Hemptique Twine, Altenew, Memento, Ranger Distress ink, Copic Markers
Copics: Fox-W00, E81, E00, E11, E13, E15, E19; Bird-W1, W2, W5, Y17; Grass-YG0000, YG91, YG93, W00

{The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek} Follow Your Arrow


Welcome to another day of The Cat's Pajamas September Sneak PeeksThere are 4 new stamp sets, 8 new die sets and one new stencil in this release. This includes two stamp and die bundles which are available to purchase separately or as a bundle with special pricing. All the new products will be available for purchase as revealed throughout the week with the full release on September 29 at which time there will be additional discounting known in the TCP world as the Kitty Kat or Poochie Pack.

Today we are highlighting the new Follow Your Arrow stamp set. I think this is my favorite set of this release. I love these sweet animal images. 


With masking, I stamped the raccoon, tent and grass onto Copic friendly cardstock cut with a stitched die. While I had the images masked, I blended speckled egg and just a bit of black soot distress inks for the background, then colored the images with Copic markers. The sentiment was stamped with ocean tides ink. I masked off the rest of the sentiment and replaced with an arrow cut with one of the dies from the Lacy Arrows CutUps and layered with a heart.

Today we are showcasing the Simply Blessed stamps and Die set. plus the Simply Blessed Bundle which includes the stamp and dies at a discount when purchase together. 



I used the new Stitched Tree CutUps to cut from woodgrain patterned paper and the leaves portion from three different colors of patterned paper. Before placing the tree diecut onto the card front, I used the previously released Great Outdoors Stencilz with speckled egg distress ink to create the sky. The patterned paper leaves were attached to tree as well as the "ground" and a trip of coordinating patterned paper was attached as a border. I stamped and cut one of the images from the new Simply Blessed Bundle then colored with Copic markers. The sentiment from the set was stamped onto a linen cardstock and patterned paper stitched circle using rich cocoa ink. Both the image and sentiment circle were attached using foam dimensionals.
