January Sneaky Peek#6

1 / 23 / 21

It’s Day #6 of Sneaky Peek Week and we’ve got a darling NEW stamp set called Sun, Please. If, you are like me, you can’t get enough sun, especially when it’s cold outside. Cold and rainy weather doesn’t bother these 3 little mice, though.

Sun, Please is available now, along with the rest of our January Release. If you can wait until Jan 26, and want the entire release, or all the stamps, you can get them at a discount.

This uber cute card by Brenda Nakandakari just makes my heart go pitter patter. Brenda stamps the big Hello and adds a sprinkling of hearts. The sweet little mouse is walking a little ladybug and placed on a background filled with hearts. I just think it’s adorable.

Here’s a closer look at Sun, Please. It comes with 3 mice and 4 sentiments to go with. If you have an electronic cutting machine, you can get the cutting files for the mice in this set for FREE here.

This little mouse is ready for the rain! Nancy Thomas stamps up so much cuteness and has him standing in the tall grass. This hand-drawn little mouse and his friends are perfect for coloring with colored markers or watercolors.

This little cutie looks like he’s sharing some words of wisdom with his friend the ladybug. Kerry Urbatch creates a stunning background that perfectly offsets this simple sweetness of the imageJulee Tilman uses our Great Outdoors stencilz to create this simple but stunning background, along with the raindrops from the Sun, Please Stamp Set. It’s a great background that captures the sentiment and the main image perfectly.

There is so much more to see. Check out eack of the blogs below for a closer look and comment on each of them. You could win a $10 gift voucher. We’ll pick a winner each day this week from the comments on the blogs and post the winners here and on our Facebook page.

January Sneaky Peek #5

1 / 22 / 211 / 22 / 21

It’s Day #5 of Sneaky Peek Week and today we are spreading a little LOVE with this cute Live, Love, Bark Stamp Set. This little one reminds me of a special little gal that my friend Robert had. Madison was truly a wonderful little girl, with so much personality. But, it it also reminds me of my beloved Sam, who I lost last year. He was always good natured and was my constant companion throughout the day, giving me his opinion with a smile or an eye roll. I miss him terribly.

Live, Love, Bark is available now, along with the rest of our January Release. If you can wait until Jan 26, and want the entire release, or all the stamps, you can get them at a discount.

This sweet puppers reminds us to don’t stop believing (your mail will get delivered?) Kerry Urbatch’s cute card nestles this little puppy in a bouquet of ribbons and hearts. The eyes on this puppy just make the whole card pop.

Live, Love, Bark is a stamp set that features a darling Boston Terrier in 4 different poses along with 4 different sentiments

Here’s a sweet card from Christine Okken. She gives a little Bubble Therapy to this sweet boy. All those bubbles make it fun to bathe him. Or you can tell yourself that.

If you like this stamp set, you might want the matching dies. They make things easier to add dimension and create a scene without having to mask. If you get both of them in a bundle, you get a 10% discount on the two

Here’s what I mean. Stamped on the matching die, this exercising Terrier sits up nice and pretty from the background. Melissa Chipperfield puts a little foam behind him for more dimension.

Nancy Thomas mixes her Puppy Mail with a stamp from the 4 Seasons Duo Dies and the Rectangle Stamp CutUps Die. It’s a cheery match with the red gingham paper

Hopefully you don’t have this much laundry. Leigh O’Brien pulls off some masking magic with this puppy in the laundry basket. Stamped over and over, this stamp is perfect for filling up the space of a slimline card.

Want to see more? The Cat Pack is pulling out all the stops. Check out the blogs below for a peek at how they used Live, Love, Bark. Comment on each of them and you could win a $10 gift voucher. We’ll pick a winner each day this week from the comments on the blogs and post the winners here and on our Facebook page.

January Sneaky Peek #2

1 / 19 / 211 / 20 / 21

Ready for another Sneaky Peek? Today we’ve got two! First up is the Flower Wagon

Nothing says Spring like flowers. What’s better than a bunch of flowers? Why a whole cart full, of course. This Flower Wagon Die actually features 2 dies. One that has the cart, flowers, and wheel, to create a wheel barrow. Create the cart with spindles by placing the included insert. Two different looks from the same die

Look how cute this card is from Christine Okken. She cuts the flowers in the cart from patterned paper to made this card extra cheery. Check out her blog for more info.

What’s nice about this die is that it’s just the right size to be the focal point. You can dress it up or down. It’s up to you

The cart isn’t just for flowers. Fill it with anything you like. Kerry Urbatch filled her cart with colorful hearts just in time for Valentine’s Day. Adorable.

The second Sneaky Peek is this super cute Stitched Easter Basket. It comes with three eggs, a bow, and even an Easter Bunny.

This card from Brenda Nakandakari shows off the Easter basket to perfection. She uses the flowers from the Flower Wagon CutUps and the NEW Grassy Patches die at the bottom of the Scalloped Square. The sentiment is from the NEW Live Love Bark Stamp Set.

Lastly, Nancy Thomas creates this uber sweet Spring card using patterned paper for a happy and bright card. The little chick and egg is from our NEW Lamb/Bunny/Chick CutUps. It’s adorable standing next to the stitched basket.

Check out The Cat Pack’s blogs for a closer look. Comment on each of them and you could win a $10 gift voucher. We’ll pick a winner each day this week from the comments on the blogs and post the winners here and on our Facebook page.

Stretching those Stamps

12 / 20 / 2012 / 21 / 20

Hello everyone. I hope you are enjoying the last bit of holiday prep. Sure, it may look a bit different this year, but it’s still a time of celebration and worship.

Does it make you happy to discover how you can use your stamps in a different way then originally intended? That’s what today’s topic is about. The Cat Pack have some examples for you to think “outside the box”.

Cristena used the helicopter image from the Sending You (a thinking of you set) and converted the hat from the Snapes Alive (a Harry Potter like set for Halloween) to a Christmas hat to create a Christmas card. I wish I had thought of this!

Here is another one when I say, why didn’t I think of that?! Kerry used the drink me bottles from the Alice Bundle on her super fun Halloween card.

By simply using Christmas colors and patterns, Cristena converted the Alpaca Bundle (a generic set) to a Christmas card.

Nancy (that’s me) used the Oh Christmas Tree Bundle to create serene sympathy card.

The Gnome Peeking set was conceived as a Christmas set but Christine so very cleverly used it for a birthday card. Don’t you just love those colors?

Brenda used the sweet Penguin Joy on her planner rather than on a card. Can you visualize years later Brenda’s family looking at her planner and realizing a) how busy she was and b) how very creative she was and c) how much she loved life?!

Julee combined an image from the Grab the Unicorn set (an encouragement set) with Christmas icons to create a Christmas card. Such striking colors!

Kerry created a generic themed slimline card using a Christmas image from the Beary Christmas set by simply clipping away the tree and lights part of the image. Very clever!

Nancy (me again) used the Alpaca Bundle (a generic set) to create a Christmas card.

Always take a critical look at your stamps as you may find a different reason for using them.

Woof Means I Love U — Sneaky Peek #5!

11 / 21 / 2011 / 21 / 20

It’s Day #5 of Sneaky Peek Week today we are celebrating the doggos in our lives. It’s only fair since we did the Kittehs, earlier this week. Illustrated by the same artist, she caught the puppers doing what they do best, being puppies. And, that’s why we adore them. We call this set “Woof”.

This stamp set features 5 pups ready to be colored or paper pieced, along with 4 different sentiments

Leigh O’Brien creates a scene on her slimline card with help from our Cloud Border and Great Outdoors Stencilz.

To make it easier, she used the Dies for this set. If you order the Woof Bundle (both the stamp set and die) you get an additional 10% discount.

Christine Okken creates this fantastic little card using the Woof Bundle and the banners from the County Fair CutUps. Her pup is beautifully colored.

Cristena Bagne’s card is based on one of the sentiments in the stamp set. Who knew that about dog hair?

Wendy McGaffey uses the same sentiment, but a whole different puppy. One can only hope that those flecks spark, right?

Finally, Kerry Urbatch creates this fun, fun card. This little puppy has so much confidence and joy, you’ve got to believe. ;).

Here is something else to believe in. An EARLY Black Friday Sale.

We are starting our Black Friday Sale EARLY! AND, it’s our biggest one yet. We are discontinuing a lot of our stamps and dies, so get them while you can.

And there is more from The Cat Pack. Head on over and comment on each of the following blogs and you could win a $10 gift voucher. We’ll pick a winner each day this week from the comments on the blogs and post the winners here and on our Facebook page.

November Sneaky Peek #1

11 / 16 / 2011 / 17 / 20

If you think that it’s too early for Christmas, how about Valentine’s Day? Actually, I think that any day is a good time to tell the ones you love that you care. In my opinion, we don’t that we do that enough. So, in honor of the ones we love, we are kicking off our November Sneaky Peek Week with this cute set, Yeti to Party.

I am totally in love with these cute monsters. Especially, when they are layered up for maximum effect.

There are so many cute monsters in this set, you can’t pick just one. So, use them all like Cristena Bagne did..

Who says that “love” cards have to be pink, and red and white. Leigh O’Brien colors up this cutie in bright green!

Want to make cutting out these monsters easier? This set comes with matching dies. And, if you get the Bundle you can save an additional 10%.

Eye can’t stop looking at this card from Melissa Chipperfield. The eyes have it. It’s just darling.

Kerry Urbatch creates her monster and the terrific background to go with, I think. I’m off to her blog to see if she made it and how.

Finally, Brenda Nakandakari uses the Yeti to Party Bundle for this AWESOME card. It would be a great card for a birthday!

I hope you liked our mini hop AND our Sneaky Peeks. You can get everything in the release today. On the fence? How about a little incentive.

That’s right. We are starting our Black Friday Sale EARLY! AND, it’s our biggest one yet.

coffe

The Blog Hop goes from November 6-13 and The Cat’s Pajamas is sponsoring some of some wonderful prizes.

For me, this card from Nancy Thomas warms me to my core. She uses our Cups Die (discontinued) and fills it with our Oh Christmas Tree Stamp Set. Love the sentiment floating above the cup. The sweet tag is a nod to our TCP Tuesday Tag Challenge.

There’s nothing better when the air is chilly is a hot cuppa something. Whether its coffee, or cocoa or tea, the important thing is that it warms you up, heart, body and soul.

There’s still time to play along in both challenges.
