Rainbows and Bunny

4 / 18 / 224 / 18 / 22

Hi friends!  Brenda here with a few of my favorites from the darling April release.  I’m not sure what I am most excited about, more new digi papers, or seeing our Bunny friend back in action.

I used the following digis to create my card today –

Wheel Love Digistamp

Like A Rainbow Digi/SVGs

Summer Borders Digi/SVGs

Happy Sun & Clouds Cutable

This card was started by color blocking the green “grass” and blue “sky” with Silhouette Design Studio, layering on the road from Summer Borders Digi/SVGs and printing.  This background was cut to an A2 card size and adhered to a white card blank.

Now comes the fun of printing and cutting the rainbow, which was filled with  Happy Spring Digi Papers,  the Bunny, and the sweet little sun from a previous release.

I colored the Bunny using Prismacolor pencils and added some rosy cheeks to the sun with craft chalk after assembly with glue.  The flowers were dotted with Buttercup Liquid Pearls.

The cut images were arranged  onto the background as shown above.  To add a little extra dimension, the Bunny and sun were popped up with foam tape.

Finally the Happy Birthday sentiment from a retired stamp set was stamped and add as well.

Thanks so much for taking a look!  Stay tuned for more inspiration coming real soon.

Spring Is In The Air!

4 / 16 / 224 / 17 / 22

Hey Y’all!!!  Teresa here on this beautiful Saturday.  Do you have bunnies in your back yard?  We do.  Wouldn’t it be fun to see them hopping around among some beautiful pinwheels?  Field of Pinwheels is part of the April release from The Cat’s Pajamas PaperArts.  What a fun spring collection.  Over 10 new digital stamps and cutables.  Be sure to check them out.  All the details for making this card yourself are below (including links).

 

 

Oh these fun pinwheels.  Our cute little bunny seems to be dancing in a field of them.  Wouldn’t you love to dance in a field of pinwheels?  I would.

The ‘Field of Pinwheels’ digital stamp set is from The Cat’s Pajamas April Release.  Such a fun April we are having.

 

 

Click on one of the images above to go directly to the digital file.

 

The bunny and pinwheels are colored with copic markers.  The digistamp is printed on Heavenly White copic paper.

 

COPIC MARKERS:

• Bunny (E55, E53, E51, E50, R02, R01, R00)

• Pinwheels (RV09, RV02, BG05, BG02, G09, G14, YR07, YR04)

 

The bunny and pinwheels are colored with Copic Markers and cut out with a scalloped die.

I love colors, especially bright ones.  Love the pinks, blues, oranges & greens for the pinwheels.  They make a very vibrant color combination.

I popped up the entire image with foam tape and placed it at the bottom center of the front of the light green card stock base formy card.

 Glued a piece of printed paper above the white for a little added color.  It was just a leftover piece from another project that fit.  I never seem to throw any scraps away.  Can always find a way to use them later.

The little glass balls are one of my favorite ‘sprinkles‘.  I glued one in the center of each pinwheel and decided to ‘sprinkle’ them around.  It is springtime after all.  Turned out pretty fun I think.

The sentiment is from the same digital stamp set.  Printed it out on 80 lb paper and cut it out with another die.  Glued it to the top of a few of the sprinkles in the upper left corner.

 

I’ve got bunnies in my backyard.  I think I’m going to find some pinwheels!

I Like the Way You Roll

4 / 14 / 224 / 16 / 22

Hey there! Jen here–rolling in with some cards using the fun designs from The Cat’s Pajamas latest release.  I had some ideas for using the Wheel Love digi stamp and the Summer Borders SVGs.  For my first card, I kept it clean and simple by using the SVG files to cut a stencil and sponge a scene.  First I printed the digi, masked it and sponged the road, bushes, and clouds behind him.  I colored him with Copics and doodled a border to add some interest to this one layer card.  The sentiment is one of my favorites for so many occasions and comes from a retired clear stamp set.

This fun bunny riding down the road had me thinking of a meme that I had seen recently.  Do you ever see a funny meme online and decide that you have to make it into a card?  I do it all the time.  My next card uses the SVGs to cut the shapes to build my scene.  I also used my Brother ScanNCut to cut the bunny.

I printed the first part of my sentiment on the blue sky paper and layered on the green grass and bushes and the gray road.  After I colored the bunny with Copics and popped him up on the scene, I realized that I couldn’t leave the middle of the bicycle wheels white.  So I found just the right color markers to match the grass and the road.  The paper that I used for the road had a shimmer to it, so I added Wink of Stella to the road behind the bicycle wheels.  Then I drew in some lines with white gel pen to give the illusion of movement.  So what’s the punchline?

Do you love it as much as I do?  You know how much I love a good pun.

Stinkin’ About You!

4 / 9 / 224 / 9 / 22

To celebrate the April release, 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! 😀 Quick and easy, but super cute! And the sentiment are just darling. This card will definitely be given to my stinkin’ fiance. 😀

Here is a close up:

The digital set is so cute and comes with a variety of sentiments. Get yours on the website here:  https://thecatspajamasrs.com/TCP/shop-2/

Rainbows and Pinwheels

4 / 4 / 224 / 3 / 22

The  April release is available now and it is all about the beautiful days of spring. Nancy here kicking off a month of the Cat Pack sharing projects using this fun new collection.

Using my Silhouette Studio software I added the Rainbow with Sparkles image as well as the Hello sentiment from the Like a Rainbow Digi/SVGs and the bunny from the Field of Pinwheels placed in front of it. I printed onto Copic friendly cardstock, cut out with a stitched die and colored the bunny and pinwheels with Copic markers.

Copics: Bunny-E50, E51, E53, W00, E81; Grass-YG00, YG01, YG03; Pinwheels:R30, R32, R35, YG01, YG03, B21, B23, BG01, BG02

The rainbow set is a hybrid meaning it consists of colored digital images that you can just print or print and cut with a cutting machine. This card was amazingly quick and easy plus post office friendly as an added bonus.

The Little Things

3 / 30 / 223 / 31 / 22


Hey all!! Cristena here, Happy Thursday!! Only 1 more day until the weekend! It is The Little Things isn’t it? Did ya see what I did there? Yep, a little play on the name of the stamp set.

But, it really is the little things that make things big! I am grateful for all the little things that I have had in my life to make my heart full.

I love this little bear! Coloring him and bringing him to life just makes me happy. I added in some yellow gingham paper from the new Hello Spring Digital Paper Pack.

Nothing goes better with this than the ever-so-cute Wonky Sun cutable file.  I adore this cute sun!! I love how the sun came out to shine right when I was taking a close-up of the Wonky Sun Cutable, so I had to leave it haha!!

The last thing I did was I added a few of the dew drops to give it a nice little bit of bling.

COPIC COLORS:

Bear: E21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 42, 43, 41, R01, 02
Flower: E21, 23, 25, 27, 29, Y19, 15, YG21, 23, 25, G24, 28

Until next time,
Inky Hugs,
Cristena

Spring Digi Decor

3 / 28 / 223 / 28 / 22

It’s Brenda up with a little springy decor item to share.  I have this little “thingy” to hang seasonal signs on and needed something to celebrate the coming of spring.  I made a similar one for fall you can find here.  This sign used Rabbit and Wreath Digi/SVG and Woodgrain Coverplates to make this fun sign.

Rabbit & Wreath Digi/SVG
Rabbit & Wreath Digi/SVG
Woodgrain Coverplate
Woodgrain Coverplates

This project was started by using a Silhouette to cut a background using the Woodgrain Coverplates from some heavy weight kraft cardstock.  It was sized to go on a kraft cardstock base measuring 8 1/4″ by 4 3/4″.  A little walnut stain distress ink was added to give it a bit of depth.

Step 2 was to size, print, and cut the wreath and letters from Rabbit and Wreath Digi/SVG.  I used the colors that automatically populate the design screen, they are so perfect for spring.  I used a #110 lb cardstock.

Step 3 included using Copic markers to do some shading on the wreath elements and the letters.

Step 4 was placement of the wreath and letters onto the kraft base.  The letters were popped up to give a little extra dimension.  Hint:  I used the negative cut to help with the placement of the letters, which made this task pretty quick.

Step 5 fixed a problem and added some extra stability to the sign.  I forgot to place the hanger, so I cut a backing piece 8″ by 4 1/4″ from chipboard and sandwiched a piece of jute in place.

Here it is all finished –

I hope this might interest you in making a little digi decor of your own!

Sweet as Sugar Easter Gift Packages

3 / 25 / 223 / 24 / 22

Nancy here getting ready for Easter after a hiatus due to illness. It feels good to get back in crafty mode.  Working with such sweet images, colors and patterns automatically puts me in a good mood.

The Easter themed packages are destined for a group of shelter women who attend our church and these are the first two out of twelve I hope to complete.  Each contains a handheld acacia wood cross, a few chocolate kisses and a bit of paper Easter grass. Although they  include secular images, inside represents the true meaning of the season of Lent.  And…bunnies are one of God’s cutest creatures!

First up I printed the bunny from the Happy Easter Digi onto thin cardstock changing the color of the image to a soft teal using my Silhouette Studio software. I cut it out with a pierced die, then added a felt bunny tail, a flower cut from an older die and a couple of carrot clay pieces. I also printed the one of the patterns from the Happy Spring Digi Papers and then cut a strip from it. After filling the pillow shaped acrylic package, I tied a ribbon bow around it including a cross charm, then added the strip of paper and image circle.

For the second package, I printed the image from the Sugar, Sugar Digi, cut out with the same pierced circle and colored the image with Copic markers. I used another of the prints from the Happy Spring Digi Papers and tied a different ribbon around it also topped with a cross charm.

Copics: Bunny-E40, E41, E42, R10, R81; Basket-W00, E81, BG01, BG02; Eggs-YG01, YG02, Y00, Y11, R10, R81, BG01, BG02

Although the packaging is similar I want each one to be unique by changing up the images, ribbon and patterned paper. These women deserve to feel special and loved.

Are you getting crafty for Easter?

Hey Y’all!!!  I’m Teresa from Lollipots ‘N’ Polkadots.  So excited to be here with my first post as part of The Cat Pack.  These birdhouses are part of the March release and so fun.  All the SVG files that you need for your Cricut, Silhouette or any cutting machine are included.  How much more could you ask for?  All the details for making this card yourself are below (including links).

 

 

I love to create 3d paper projects.  Decided I’d use a hanging frame I learned how to make from our own Cristena Bagne.  Used the ‘Birdhouses Cutable SVG’s‘, ‘Happy Spring Digi Papers‘ and the ‘Home Tweet Home‘ Digi stamp set.

 

 

 

Click on one of the images above to go directly to the stamp set, digi file and cutables.

 

The beautiful frame is made from kraft card stock and a beautiful piece of lime green ribbon to hang it with.  I printed and cut a piece of the Happy Spring digital paper to use as the background for the frame.  Matched my birdhouses perfectly.

 

I cut all the birdhouses from the Birdhouses Cutable’s.  They are SVG files you can use with your Cricut or any cutting machine.  You choose the colors.  I chose bright colors, as I normally do.  My children tell me that if you threw hand fulls of different colored neon paint at a white wall you would have me.  Yes I love colors, especially bright ones.  I used hot pink, teal blue, apple green, black and white.  They make a very vibrant color combination.

 

The tree branch was also cut using my Cricut from an image available in the Cricut Design Store.  Just search on tree branch and you’ll find it.

 

The sentiment is from the Home Tweet Home digi stamp set.  Printed it out on 80 lb paper and cut it like a banner.  Glued it along the bottom of the frame.

 

Added enamel dots in the same bright colors on the corners and as decoration on the birdhouses.

 

Springtime is almost here my friends!  Get your birdhouses ready!

 

~Teresa
