The Cat's Pajamas {Friendship}

Hooray! I am so excited to be a Guest Designer at The Cat's Pajamas!


Today I am sharing another card I made for the current stamp/die release over at The Cat's Pajamas. Today we are featuring a new Penguin set called Friendship! Oh my, I LOVE the sentiments in this set and the Penguins are super easy to use...just stamp them in black ink!


I decided to use a classic black, white & yellow combo for my card! I used some twine to accent my card and some pattern paper from my stash! The feet and other small areas are coloured with Copics. This card came together so quickly! I really love how easy the Penguins are to use!


Be sure to visit the TCP blog to see what the design team has created with this fun set!

The Challenge #69- {Rainbow Heart Inspiration}

Hello and Welcome to Week Three at The Challenge! This week is an inspiration challenge and we hope you are inspired by the Rainbow Heart!



Are you looking for last week's winner? Please CLICK HERE.

Each week we have a fun challenge for your to try!!! We do a different style of challenge each week! We like to mix things up and keep them fresh!

Here is the monthly rotation:
Week 1-Sketch
Week 2-Colours
Week 3-Photo Inspiration
Week 4-Masculine Photo Inspiration
Week 5-Wild Card (a surprise!)

For my card, I let the paper do all the work! I tried to find a fun pattern with rainbow colours and this was the closet I could find in my stash! I die cut it with a heart die and then popped up the panel on an A2 card base in white. Then I stamped the sentiment in the middle. My sentiment came from a new Verve set called Simply Amazing! I love the mix & match sentiments in this set!! All of the fonts are SO pretty!




The design team have created some inspiration to get you in the crafting mood! Come and join us! Our weekly winner will be our next Guest Designer! So come and join the fun!
