Let the Cat Pack Adventure Begin... Again

Hi friends! I've been keeping a bit of a secret and today I can share! I'm returning to my roots and officially joining The Cat's Pajamas design team. The Cat's Pajamas was my first ever design team 12 years ago and Alma and her stamps have always had a special place in my heart. She even made a special position for me when I started Verve, so I could keep designing with her and I think one of the saddest emails I ever had to write was the one saying I just couldn't juggle it all anymore. Fast forward all these years, and I'm doing a happy dance to be back! Do you have a stamp company that holds a piece of your heart? Be sure to let them know! Sometimes those bright little emails can turn an entire day around. #askmehowIknow😀


I thought this occasion was the perfect one to practice making another video, so I have a quick process video for you today. You can watch it below or on my YouTube Channel.


I started the card by stamping the adorable bunny and apropos sentiment from Bunnies in Flight with Copic safe ink. Next I cut the sentiment out with the Portrait of Mew die and also cut  the frame out with hot pink cardstock. I colored the bunny image and die cut with the Wish Tag Duo, then used the tag die as a stencil to trace around and create a thin black mat for the stamped tag.


Next I moved on to the background. I blended distress oxides over a star stencil using squeezed lemonade, worn lipstick and picked raspberry ink and a makeup brush. I love how this turned out, but there was a tiny bit of seepage on one of the stars, so after I layered the card together and added some ribbon, I covered up those spots with some Silver Saucers Holeless Sequins. I finished off with some accents of clear glaze and glitter on the balloons.
