Pink Cat Digital Release Day!

Black Friday already, can you believe it?

Instead of stressing out with all of the crazies at the stores today, I'll be in my purple room stamping the day away.  Today Pink Cat Studio has a bunch of new digis available, and each one is cuter than the last!  Oh, and Melissa is doing another 50% off sale!

All of these cuties that are being released today are included in sale!

I'm really excited to share all of my samples with you, and I hope they inspire you to get some of these new digis and make something cute today!

First up is our ol' pal Blobby...

I couldn't resist....I had to cover him with yellow velvet flock. 

Now he's super soft and fuzzy - as every Blobby should be. 

Check out the new version of Lily! 

She's all grown up! 

I used an x-acto to cut a house shape out of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and then pierced around the border.

After adding some faux stitching with a white pen, I popped it up with dimensionals and finished it off with some twine. 

Don't celebrate Christmas?

No worries, Melissa has you covered!

Check out this Hanukkah cutie! 

I used some leftover alphabet stickers and chipboard and kept this one super simple. 

More cuties... 

Adorable, no? 

After I had my card put together with my fave color combo, I sprayed it with Frost Shimmer Spritz. 

I popped up parts of the image with dimensionals and added mini pearls to the hats. 

Even though this next image was created with the holidays in mind, I used it for another occasion. 

I originally made this card without a sentiment, but then needed a pet sympathy card for a loved one. 

I added a quick rub-on sentiment and then popped it in the mail. 

Still with me?

This is the last one - promise! 

Oh my gosh, I just love this image.  SO cute!

It's hard to tell from the photo, but I added pink velvet flock to the ear muffs and popped them up with dimensionals.  The sentiment was cut from some patterned paper and embellished with a few jewels. 

Okay, that's it for me today!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and peek at my samples. Be sure to hop on over to PCS and get yourself some of these fun digis!  There's also a link over on the "new digi" page to a cute freebie! 

Never Seen Ink

Only two challenges left until CSAYL is done for the year!

Our challenge this week is "Never Seen Ink" - use an image, old or new, that's never seen ink.

I got this cute image by Whiff of Joy as a gift last holiday season.  It's been sitting in a little pile of other neglected stamps on my workshop floor for 11 months.  This challenge finally got me to bust open the package, trim that rubber and ink it up!

And boy am I glad - these guys are uber cute!! 

I decided to go with a favorite color combo of mine - Bermuda Bay, Cherry Cobbler and White. 

I cut the main image with a Nestability and then added glitter to the edge.  Then I embellished my little heart out with jewels and wood snowflakes that jumped in my basket at Cost Plus. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you'll hop on over to CSAYL and play along with us this week!

Christmas Stampin All Year Long

Today is challenge day over at CSAYL and this week we're teaming up with Bugaboo Digi Stamps for a group post.  The challenge this week is to create a holiday card or project inspired by this photo.

*photo credit - Pinterest

I used an adorable image called "Ava Christmas - Sitter" for my card.

Isn't she cute?

The inspiration photo was so pretty, but that big red velvet ribbon really caught my eye.  One of my favorite things about the Christmas season is all of the beautiful ribbons and packaging.  So that's what inspired my card.

I started by printing her out twice.

I colored one image with Copics and then covered the other image with red velvet flock.

Here she is in soft fluffy flock. 

(I ended up just using the hat on my card)

And here's Ava all put together.  I popped up her velvet hat with dimensionals and embellished it with a glitter pen.

Every holiday card needs a little sparkle, but I didn't have any red jewels on hand,

so I grabbed a red Copic and made my own.

We've got loads of inspiration today from the CSAYL team and the Bugaboo team.  Be sure to check them out and then leave us a link over at CSAYL to your project.

Inky Wednesday

Hey stampers!

Thought I'd pop in today to share some fun news with you.  I was recently invited to join the design team over at Inky Impressions!  You can check out their shop right here - oh my gosh.....CUTE stuff!!  I'll be designing with them for the rest of this year and will have something "Inky" to share with you on my blog each Wednesday.  In addition to posting on my blog, I will also be a contributor to the Inky Impressions Inspirational Blog.

My card for today uses a fun image called "Sammy Making Snow Angels".

I used the color challenge over at the Inky Impression Challenge Blog as inspiration.

I was also inspired by the Crazy Amigo sewing challenge and the charming challenge over at the Creative Craft Challenge blog.

Here's a close up of Sammy having fun in his glitter snow patch.

I added a bit of faux stitching around the border and finished it all off with some wide ribbon and a snowflake charm.  This gorgeous charm comes in a set of five that you can find right here. 

Here's a peek at the inside.

The sentiment reads, "If a snowflake fell everythime I thought of you...We'd really have a white Christmas".  Isn't that a great sentiment? I love it!

You can check out all of the great sentiments available from Inky Impressions right here.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
