Release Day at The Cat's Pajamas!

 Welcome to the Cat's Pajamas Blog Hop!  If you came here from Julie's blog, you're in the right place.  

It's finally here, the last release of the year at The Cat's Pajamas!  I had a ton of fun creating with this latest release.  I really love lots of layers of patterned paper and anything shabby chic, so I love how this card turned out.  But the wow factor is apparent when you open it.  The brand new Corner PopUp die is so easy to use and incredibly versatile!  I used it once on the inside of my card, but you could use it multiple times to increase the depth of your project.  Also versatile, the new Happy stamp set, a great year round set that you'll use again and again.  In addition to these new items, I used a few of my favorite CutUps dies;  the Star Rosette, and Presents,

Don't forget to visit the rest of the Cat Pack for more beautiful projects using the latest release.  Next on the hop is Wendy.  You can start at the beginning by going to Deborah's blog.

The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek Week

Hello Friends.  It's that time again!  Sneaky Peek Week for The Cat's Pajamas.  Available on Tuesday, November 21st are four dies and three stamp sets. This is the last release of the year. 

I've been in Christmas mode, so this was a welcome break from all of the holiday tinsel and trees! I have to admit, I'm not a bear person.  I just don't look twice at stamps that showcase bears.  However, once I finished coloring this little guy, I fell in love with the Sent with Love stamp set.  He's so stinkin' cute! I think he'd make an adorable Valentine, but really he's usable all year.  For this card, I used the Fancy Flip die.  This versatile die can be used to make a flip card such as this one, or an easel card, which I used in my next sample. 

For my next card, I made an easel card using the Fancy Flip die.  You'll notice the time theme in the Time Out stamp set and the Clock die.  But I think the first thing you'll notice is the Wings die set.  Wow! Can you believe the embossed detail in the wings? I used gilding wax to really accentuate the feathers.  This set is definitely going in my favorites pile.

Last for today,  I used the beautiful Blessed die to create a simple, understated card.  I feel the pretty font and size of the die stands alone.  (Sorry, this card did not photograph very well.)
