Making Waves and Stencils

5 / 10 / 225 / 13 / 22

Hey there! It’s Jen waving hello to you with the hot new May release.  I’ve had so much fun with the Make Waves SVGs.  As soon as I saw the set, I couldn’t wait to cut out that cute seagull and have him bobbing on the waves.  And after I cut out the seagull and waves, I noticed I had a fabulous stencil left over:

Well, I was also excited to use the Fun in the Sun Digi and I went ahead and spread some Paper Glaze through my freshly cut stencil.  That fun wavy background was just right for this cool cat to float and enjoy her margarita.  I guess ocean scenes always get me thinking of portholes which put me in the mood for some round cards.  I decided to make this into a get well card with one of my favorite retired TCP sentiments.

For my gull card, instead of a porthole, I used the life preserver to frame the seagull.  I cut each piece with my Brother ScanNCut out of Neenah Solar White and sponged on all the colors with Distress Oxide, shading each piece a bit just by using the brush that I usually use for black or gray ink.  I popped up just the top of the bird and let the bottom rest more in the water.  And of course, I needed to add some glitter to the waves.

Frankly, I love to make seagull cards, because I can use one of my favorite birthday sentiments.  “29 again? How gull-ible do you think I am?”  I’ve made the inside sentiment using my very own handwritten font and I am sharing the file on my blog if you are interested.

Ready to Tie One On?

5 / 7 / 22
What’s Mew

I gave you a little sneaky peek of these cute shirt boxes earlier this week, but this time I thought I would give you more details about these cute little boxes.

ShirtBoxes
Learn How To Create Shirt Treat Boxes

But, if you want to watch a video on how to create these boxes using Cricut, Silhouette Studio and Scan N Cut Workspace just click here.

  1. First, I cut out all the pieces I needed, and that included the buttons. You could, of course, use real buttons, but I thought I would use the buttons included cutting a really thin strip of paper and threading it through the holes. I secured them on the back with foam tape.
  2. To make the collar stand out from the shirt, I sponged ink on the edges.
  3. Secondly, I folded along the dashed lines and secured the side tab to the back of the box on the opposite side.  Then, I closed the bottom.
  4.  I added the shirt front strip, (add goodies now)and folded over the collar and secure
  5. For the tie, fold over the middle section and insert the two sides, securing it between the middle section.
  6. Finally, attach the tie and buttons to the front. There is also a second style of tie and it’s created the same way.

It’s such a fast and easy treat box that can be sized down, as well. If you want to go bigger, I’ve included files for a bigger box, cause that’s how I roll 😉 These would be great table favors, too, if you have have more than one dad sitting down for dinner. They are so easy to make with Cutable files.

You get .svgs and .dxfs for both sizes and ties and shirt tabs in the Shirt Treat Boxes.  I think you can change things up and even round out the collars and add a string of pearls for a really cute Mother’s Day gift. I hope you give them a try.

Smile

5 / 2 / 225 / 2 / 22

Good morning TCP fans. Nancy here to share a project using some of the new May digital products  released yesterday.

This card features the new Camera Cutables. I cut with my Silhouette Cameo machine from various colorful patterned papers and cardstock. I adjusted the look a bit by creating a small shaker piece in the lens portion. I also added a few small flowers from the also new Under My Hat which is a combo of digital (.png) and cut files (.svg) set.

Products: The Cat’s Pajamas Cutables, Doodlebug dp, Bazzill and PTI cs, PFS Sequins

As if I didn’t use enough tropical colors, I added a patterned paper border onto the card base, then attached the camera piece along with the sentiment using foam dimensionals.

I hope these colors brighten your day. Don’t forget to smile! The world needs them.

May I Show You Our Latest Release?

5 / 1 / 22

May Release

The best part about May is that the world seems to be waking up. The sun is bursting through, and everywhere buds are bursting through the soil and from plants that actually looked like they were goners. So, what better way to celebrate rebirth, than our May Release?  We’ve got some NEW Goodies, and some Oldies but Goodies, making their return. I’ll be showcasing them, here.  And throughout the month, The Cat Pack will be sharing their take on them.

4 seasons
Four Seasons Stamps SVGS

First, up our Four Seasons Stamps. If you loved the original dies, you’ll love these Cutable .svgs. Not only can you get them without having to wait for the mailperson, you can get them at a fraction of the cost.

Another set having a rebirth is one of my personal faves, Fun in the Sun, but as a digistamp!

I wish I were there on the beach with the rest of them. When the time comes, I’ll be packing up the car and making my way to the beach or maybe the great outdoors.

Summer Sayings Digis

Wherever I go, if I have access to a computer and printer or electronic cutting machine, I’ll have access to digis and Cutable .svgs to create just the perfect card or page with these cute Summer Sayings.

Camera DigiStamp/SVG

Nowadays, I don’t even need a camera, if I have my phone or tablet. Somehow, it’s not same though. 🙂

Under My Hat Digital/SVGs

Hipster Cutable SVGs

And, finally, I could’t resist making these cute little shirt boxes up. They come in 2 different sizes, but because they are Cutable .svgs and .dxfs you can make them any size you want.

Whelp! That’s all for now. I hope you check out our What’s Mew section on our website to see the goodies up close and personal. The Cat Pack and I will be back throughout the month to show you what you can do will these pretties.

Nuts About TCP!

4 / 30 / 224 / 29 / 22

Hello!  Jen here on this last day of April.  I know we’re all getting excited for the May release, but I am still nuts about this April release.  I can never resist some cute woodland creatures, so I just had to make a card with the Into the Woods Digi Stamps.  I love the skunk in this set, too, but I wanted to feature the squirrel and his acorns on this one.  And I wanted to feature a lot of acorns.  I love digital stamps because it was so easy to make a pile of acorns for this card–no masking!

I felt the background needed a pattern, but not too bold a pattern and the Black & White Spring Digi Papers had just the right one.  I love the black and white digi paper because my printer doesn’t love color.  Frankly, though, I still love color–that’s why I love being able to print this black and white paper on any color cardstock.  Oh, the possibilities!

I was originally going to use the cute “Nuts! I forgot!” sentiment from this digital stamp set, but decided to shake things up with a different sentiment.

I was so thrilled with the look of the digital paper printed on the aqua cardstock, that I had to add some to the inside of my card too.  The color complements the acorn so well.  I hope you like this silly card and I hope you have a great day!

Customizing Digital Paper and NEW TCP!

4 / 25 / 224 / 26 / 22

Hi Stampers!  It’s Christine back today with a few more new designs using The Cat’s Pajamas April Release.  As you might already know, Alma has moved into the digital realm with TCP and that means a lot of new and  different opportunities with stamps, accessories, cut file, paper and embellishments.  On this first design I did a little playing around with the new Black & White Spring Digi papers to coordinate it perfectly with this Birthday bear and the new set A Beary Good Year.

I  began by printing out the plaid paper in black and white and coordinating it to my card by sponging onto the cardstock.  It’s transformed from black and white to a ombre multi-colour design that matches perfectly with my Copic coloured bear.

This cutie is fun to work with too!  The set has all sorts of add-ons for all occasions that when used as a digi are really easy to make work.  So I gave him a party hat, added the cake plate in his hand and then heart birthday balloons and printed him out.  It’s nice to be able to manipulate images like this before printing.  

Some fun framing and accents with die-cuts, and he’s ready to party!

Next I have a mini-slimline scene that’s perfect for those breezy Spring days.  

This fanciful bunny is from the new set Field of Pinwheels.  After printing the image, I added in some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink clouds using a TCP Stencil for the sky and foreground grass, and then paired him with more of the Black & White Digi papers.  The bunting accents are created with the Summer Borders SVG’s and I’ve added some baker’s twine and enamel dots.

To fill in the grass I’ve used some flick strokes with my Copics to colour in more blades.  The sentiment is  stamped with a retired TCP polymer set, as I thought it was a perfect pairing.
Take a peek below and the New Release Items I’ve used today!  Be sure to pop over to the TCP Store to pick yours up!   Thanks for joining me today!

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 –

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.

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.

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.
