TCP Peeks Day 4!!

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?!!

Here are the TCP I used today:

Here are some details you need to know:

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

2. Are you IN IT TO WIN IT? For a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to The Cat's Pajamas store, leave a comment on each of the sneak peek posts, including The Cat's Pajamas blog. A winner will be randomly drawn and will be announced on the TCP Facebook Page the following day.

3. Save the date for the Pajama Party on Monday, January 18 from 8-10pm EST.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day! Be sure to check out the wonderful creations by my other team members!!

Hey there Krafty Friends, and welcome to day THREE of this week's Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps release peeks!! 
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 will not tell you the full details of the making of this card...mostly because I don't really remember making it. 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!

You'll be able to check out lots of inspiration using the new set from our amazing Krafty Girl Design Team in today's blog hop!  Below you'll find links to all the gorgeous creations and while you're visiting the blogs, be sure to comment and leave some love for our designers because one lucky krafty person is going to WIN a gift card to the shop!
