On Wednesday, September 10th, Pink Cat Studio will be releasing a new set of stamps called Christmas Kitty! With these stamps, Pink Cat is ready to celebrate the upcoming holiday, but is sometimes getting into some mischief (as you will see tomorrow!) If you'd like a chance to win these stamps, please stop by the Pink Cat blog before 5:00 p.m. EST tomorrow to enter!
For today's sneak peeks, the team members are showing you two of the images available with this set. The first is the Angel Kitty here on my card. Isn't she sweet? I wanted to take advantage of this new Stampin' Up! Pink Pirouette ribbon that I got from my friend Anita, so I decided to dress Pink Cat in a pink angel gown, and make a pastel Christmas card with this designer paper from Paper Salon! It's hard to tell from the picture but her wings are accented with my silver and clear Copic Spica glitter pens (yes, I found them!) and her horn and halo are accented with the gold. The sentiment and tiny snowflake stamp are also from this new stamp set.
My second item for today shows you just how versatile this set is! Pink Cat is shown here playing in the gift boxes and ribbon, but the nice thing is she doesn't necessarily have to be Christmas-themed! This stamp set comes with a cute Santa hat that can be perched on top her head for Christmas cards, or for an all-occasion card you can just use the stamp as I have here! (And tomorrow, I'll show you another fun stamp from the set that works this way, too!) For today, I decided to use the One Sheet box template from the 3-D Design Challenge blog! I've never tried one of these before, and was really surprised to find it super-easy to do! (That's a bonus when you feel as lousy as I do the last few days!) Now that I've tried it and see how easy it is, I'll definitely keep this in mind for quick gift needs. Plus my wheels are spinning on all the cool ways you can embellish and accent this, too!
The Pink Cat design team has been hard at work using these new stamps, so please pay a visit to their blogs too for more great designs! You can find them all linked in my right-hand sidebar!
Thanks to everyone for the get well wishes in recent comments! My head feels like it's dead weight but since I have the next 2 days off work, I'm hoping I can get lots of extra rest and stamping time! And yes, I'm drinking lots of fluids!
Don't forget that the Blog Candy I offered for Sharon's Stamp Simply Celebration is still active! You have until Thursday evening at 9:00 p.m. EST to get entered! Check this post for all the details, and also be sure to stop by Sharon's blog each day for other fun goodies to win!
Have a great day, and happy stamping!
