TCP Peeks Day 5-Always

Welcome back for day FIVE of this month's The Cat's Pajamas sneak peeks!! Today we are featuring our new Small Envie CutUps. 

I paired the new Small Envie CutUps with the new Always CutUp.....it made me sort of sad using it, because I am still in mourning over the death of Alan Rickman. He will forever be a part of my soul, and the line from Harry Potter will always stay in my mind when I think of him. Always.  I paired my CutUps with some Simple Stories paper, and MFT and SU cardstock. The MFT color cardstock, and button, is Blu Raspberry, and I used Kraft from there as well. 

My card is also for this week's Crazy 4 Challenges, challenge. We are having a sketch challenge this week, so be sure to check it out here!!

Here are the CutUps that I used on today's card:

Here are some details you need to know:

1. All the new stamps and dies will be released on Tuesday,  January 19th.

It's called A PURR-FECT DAY and has so many images and stampy elements to play with plus a bunch of sweet sentiments for a total of EIGHTEEN stamps including a fun thought bubble!!!

For my card today, I decided to create a little bit of a striped kitty.....I usually like to make my animals with spots, but this kitty needed stripes. I gave her some balls of yarn to play with, and to carry on the ball and stripe them, I used some fun MME paper. I also cut my image, and paper panels out using the Circle Stax Die-namics.

I'm back with a card for our fourth day of peeks from The Cat's Pajamas!!

Today we are peeking the new Conversation Hearts set, and since it pairs PERFECTLY with the new Nested Hearts CutUps, well...of course you will be seeing it a lot, too!

I used the new set along with some paper from Echo Park, and Steel Grey CS from MFT. My buttons are from MFT as well, and I used some May Arts ruffled ribbon. Along the bottom, where I used sentiments from the Conversation Hearts set, I used some Red Stickles to separate my sentiments....haven't used those in a VERY long...mostly because I lace the patience to allow things to dry. Hey, I'm all about telling you the truth, ok?!!

Today we are sharing previews featuring a FUN and FURRY new stamp set by artist Emilie Goulet!  These sassy pets are SO much fun to color!!!  It's called A FURRY SURPRISE!!

I've been sick, I went to urgent care, it was 3am....drugs, tired, you get the picture. Regardless.....ISN'T IT CUTE??!!!!  Look at that spotted kittie, don't you just want to take him home and let him live with you? Or, from my experience with cats, allow you to live with him?

Here is a look at the full set: 

The set features two main images, a silly puppy and a sneaky cat, PLUS TEN coordinating sentiments!!!  What fun!

  This is also a very SPECIAL stamp set because Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps will be donating a portion of the sale of each set of 
A FURRY SURPRISE! to a local non-profit animal rescue organization!  We want to help take care of our furry friends who are in need of rescue!

It's Saturday, so it's time for our normal Saturday Challenge, and this week, we have a FOOD challenge. Now, I know what you are thinking, but a very important, very TALL Elf once told us that there are four major food groups. 

For my card, I used the super cute Candy Cane Kisses set, which I LOVE!!! I paired him with some Carta Bella Bundle Up paper and various cardstocks and embellishments.
I also used the sketch...but I turned the circle into a rectangle.....so it's sort of the sketch...anyway, it's pictured below!

We always enjoy your creations so be sure to submit them so you can have a chance to WIN a $20 gift card to the Shop!! Show us your stuff!! In keeping in line with the rest of our challenges (Wonderful Wednesday and our NEW Krafty Scrappy Challenge), we will be drawing one winner per month from all Saturday Challenge entries to win a $20 gift card!!
