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!

Follow the Bunny

3 / 22 / 223 / 22 / 22

What’s up, crafty peeps?  Jen here, with my first post for the Cat Pack.  I’m just so thrilled to be here playing with the fun and fabulous products in the March Release!

I’ve combined old and new with this first card, using the Rabbit & Wreath Digi/SVG and the Grassy Patches SVG.  First, I created a green, blue, and brown background using Distress Oxides, a gelli plate, and some background stamps.  I thought that would give my cut outs a little more character than just using colored paper or sponging ink on white cardstock.  The reason I went dark brown for my bunny was so I could use one of my all-time favorite Easter sentiments–a retired TCP sentiment–“Follow the bunny, he has the chocolate.”  But have you seen the “What’s invisible and smells like carrots?” sentiment in the Happy Easter Digi?  HA! I get a kick out of that one.

I had plenty of green background, so I found myself with some extra grassy patches–a perfect setting for this card:

Hmmm…this might be my new favorite Easter sentiment.  This card uses the Sugar, Sugar Digi and the Easter eggs from the Easter Eggs in Basket Cutable SVG. I thought that some foiled eggs would certainly look like small sugar-coated packages.  I arranged all the Easter eggs in Canvas Workspace to cut myself a stencil using my Brother ScanNCut.  Then I applied deco foil transfer gel through the stencil.  After it dried I ran it through my laminator with the Rainbow Shattered Glass deco foil.  I also used my ScanNCut to cut the bunny in the basket.

I have a thing about the leftover foil.  Every time I foil something, the leftover looks so appealing.  That led me straight to this next card:

I applied the leftover foil to a deco foil toner sheet.  When I cut the stencil, I couldn’t bring myself to throw out all the little Easter eggs.  I knew I saved them for a reason.  I colored all the eggs with my Spectrum Noir Markers and popped them up on the foiled background, shifting them all a bit, so that the black would give them a bit of a shadow.  I finished it by popping up the Happy Easter from the Happy Easter Digi.  And just like that, all my Easter cards are done–thanks to these very inspiring products!  I hope you’re inspired too!

A Pot Of Gold

3 / 16 / 223 / 16 / 22

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you!  I’ve certainly found my pot of gold today and you can too.  It’s Brenda here, sharing the darling Pot of Gold in a Box Cutable.  He’s not new, but the sentiment from Simple St. Paddy’s Digi  is new and available to download absolutely free!

Alma has a video here, that’s shows how to create this fun box card.  As you can see below, it folds flat to 5.25” x 6.75″ and even has white space to write on in back.

After the card was put together I added the sentiment to a Framed Up Cutable which was colored and size perfectly thanks to the versatility of the digi die.

I was super excited to see the cute new Happy Spring Digi Papers  and an old favorite from the past, the Rosette Cutable.

I put them together to create a card of support for Ukraine.  This card was created with Silhouette Design Studio (SDS) and I was excited to learn just how easy digital papers are to use.

The background was created by using the drawing tool to make a rectangle and the filling tool to add the Scrolls digital design.  The rosette was added and sized to about 2.5″ and filled with the orange gingham design.  The banner from the Rosette Cutable was added.  It was filled with sunflower digital paper from my stash to symbolize Ukraine. The sentiment was then typed  on the top layer.  A stem was added from Bee Gnomie and Friends Cutable.  The filling tool was used to make the stem a darker green.  Here’s what it looked like all laid out in SDS.  What a paper saver!

After this was printed and cut with the Silhouette. It was assembled as shown above.  The back panel was cut to size.  The rosette stem top was trimmed a bit by hand so it wouldn’t show beneath.  Here’ s another Alma video on making the rosette.

Thanks for looking, hope you give these fun new products a try and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Small Sugarcoated Packages and the March Release!

3 / 15 / 223 / 15 / 22
Greetings friends!  It’s Christine and I’m back with NEW March inspiration from The Cat’s Pajamas!  Part one of my designs this month is located HERE.  Today its all about Easter!  One of the most beautiful times of the year for my faith, and also a beautiful time to celebrate life, growth and hope.  I have two cards to show you today, one more playful and one more elegant.  This card uses the new Sugar, Sugar Digi.
Just today my husband bought a huge bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs.  Oh my heart.  He needs to hide them because I LOVE that candy coated chocolate!  So, this card speaks my language about Easter chocolate.    Our favourite bunny is lounging in the Easter basket after a sugar coma of chocolate coated fun.
Colouring is with Copics, with detail added in with Prismacolor Pencils, like the blades of grass, the texture of the basket and the sky on the tag.  The main image is printed on Copic XPress it Blending and cut with a retired tag die from TCP.  The background is sponged with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink.
Other cool things on the design are new from TCP including the Grassy Patches Cutables and the Happy Spring digital patterned paper, it makes for such a fun spring card!
Next up is a lovely Easter card with the new FREE Digital Download called Fancy Happy Easter.  The script and designs in the set are lovely!  I coloured the image with Copics and added in backgrounds and detailing with Prismacolor Pencils.  The mini-slimline design also uses our new Happy Spring Digi Papers,  tiny flowers cut to accent and holeless sequin accents.
The pops of colour add such Spring freshness to the design.
Here is a peek at the NEW items I used from TCP today….go check them out!

Everything is Coming Up Rosettes

3 / 12 / 22

Home-tweet-Home--

I hope you are enjoying our March Release! If you’ve been with us for awhile you’ll know that we are gradually moving some of our most popular products into digitals. What’s so great about this, is 1) Items never go out of stock 2) You get to make these items ANY size you wish (YES! It’s all about you 3) Great Price! ‘Nuff said.

ADJust

One of my personal favorites was the Easy Rosette, so I had to bring it back as an .svg Cutable along with an updated Layered Ribbon Banner.

Make a Rosette with Cutable .svgs

It’s great for making rosettes that are easy to put together and won’t pull apart. If you’ve ever made those strip rosettes, you know how frustrating it can be.

Make Rosettes

Our NEW layered Ribbon Banner makes it easy to embellish the Rosette or anything, really. Check out the video above where we use the Stacked Sentiments Digi. But, you don’t have to use a digi, you can use stamps, too.

And, after you check out the video, check out the rest of our March Release below. We’ve thrown in a couple of Freebies, as well.

Sugar, Suger

3 / 12 / 223 / 12 / 22

Hey all! Happy Thursday! Cristena here and I hope that you are all having a good week! Today I am sharing with you a sweet little bunny chillin in his basket. The name of the set is Sugar Sugar Digital Stamp Set. I had a great time making this card, probably the longest I have done.

I LOVE this bunny just as I do all the rest of them. He is so very cute! I had to try and make grass inside of the basket as well. I was going to try to do crinkle grass for an Easter basket, but for some reason, I was going with the groove and followin the flow… chill just like the bunny haha!

 

I also love all the sentiments that came with this stamp set. It is really hard to choose one. I decided to wait to see who would be getting this card to put the sentiment over on the right side next to the blue egg. I like to leave myself options for the sentiment. If I decide not to give it to anyone… or I just decide it doesn’t need a sentiment, I can put another egg right there. But at least I am not stuck.

 

I LOVE the new Grassy Patches Cutable!! The way I color my cuts makes it looks so neat! I love it! I like that there are different sizes and everything. I put the longest ones on the outside and one of the shorter ones on the inside. I did overlap the small one on top of the longer ones to make it all blend together nice.

 

You can see a bit more of the basket in this photo, along with the one up top of just the bunny. I do get a lot of questions when I do baskets, so I thought I would answer it now for you. When I colored this I actually used the chisel tip of the Copic marker. I just drew straight lines.

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:

Bunny: E50, 51, 53, 55, R00, 01, 02
Pink: R81, 83, RV10, 00
Yellow:Y11, 13, 15
Blue: B00, 01, 02
Purple: BV04, 02, 01, 00
Grass: YG21, 23, 25, 97,  G24, 28
Basket: E31, 30, 35, 33

Distress Oxide Ink: Tumbled Glass for Clouds

Until next time friends, happy crafting!
Inky hugs,
Cristena

Spring is Popping in with NEW March Release

3 / 12 / 223 / 12 / 22
Greetings friends!  It’s Christine popping in with some awesome NEW inspiration from The Cat’s Pajamas for the March Release going on now!  There are some delightful additions to this month’s release including digital patterned paper!  It was a first for me to play with digital paper files, but it was a blast to have the versatility of printing only what you wanted.
I have two designs to show you today beginning with our favourite buddy bear in this set called The Little Things.  I love that he’s holding up a sunflower, which is perfect for nods of support for Ukraine.  He’s coloured with Copic Makers, with accents and shadows added with Prismacolor pencils.
To accent the design I used some TCP dies to frame him up, add some swirly accent, a bit of twine and a cute wood button.  The honeycomb paper is from our new Happy Spring Papers.   I picked up some 60 LB weight white paper and printed the selection and size of patterned paper I wanted.  It was easy-peasy!
This next design was totally inspired by Amy Kolling who did a floral wreath a few years ago with buffalo plaid in the background, I loved it so much that I thought this would be the perfect time to use it as inspiration for this pretty wreath.
I’ve combined the Rabbit and Wreath cutable files (I’ve used the retired metal dies, but the files are the same), I just cut out the wreath and accents several times in different colours so I could combine them.  Then I tucked in some of the Easter Eggs from the Happy Easter set and Easter Eggs in Baskets to fill in the wreath.  The layers give it a nice 3D effect.
A bit of sparkle is added with holeless sequins and the added vellum softens the plaid, but still allows the pattern to show through.
The sentiment is from a retired TCP die, and works perfectly with its delicate font.
Here’s a peek at all of the new goodies I used!   Thanks for joining me today.

Spring Animals – Happy March Release!

3 / 3 / 223 / 3 / 22

Hello crafty friends! 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!

Her designs are bright, and happy and so CLEAN and tight. And, that includes her 3D non-paper sculptures. They are AMAZING, and realistic. Check out her Instagram and see what I mean.

Check out her card above, using designs from our March Release, Sugar Sugar, Grassy Patches and Easter Eggs In A Basket. It’s delightful.

I can’t wait to see what these 3 Ladies do with our digis and cutables, especially our March release. They are truly inspiring.
