Sneaky Peek Day 7

Sneaky peek week at The Cat's Pajamas is beginning to wind down, but that doesn't mean we don't have more fabulous goodies to share with you.  Today we are showcasing *I'm Not Fat*.  This stamp set has the cutest little pandas you have ever seen!

I decided to make a gatefold easel card to show off the cute little bicycle riding panda.  The belly band was made using the Rectangular Stamp Die and the sentiment from *I'm Not Fat* -

To take it a step further, I used the Roller CutUps on the inside panel to allow him to move through a little scene. 

There are many tutorials about making the gatefold card on Pinterest, here is one place you can start looking.  I created my card base first using the Pattern Builder to create the blue (blueprint sketch distress oxide ink) and white plaid patterned paper.  The scene was created using  the Great Outdoors stencil.  Tumbled glass and mowed lawn distress oxide ink were used for the sky and the grass.  The tree from the new set *Hugs Needed* was stamped and leaves were added using the leaf from the Rectangular Stamp Die set.  I colored the panda using Copic markers.  The grass edge was fussy cut and the channel was created using the Roller Die.  Here is a link to the how-to by Alma.  The panel was assembled as shown above and the word celebration from Celebration Toppers was positioned to work at the the easel bumper. 

For a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the store, leave a comment on each of the designer's blogs and Instagram accounts (mine is @brendanh50). Winners will be announced on The Cat's Pajamas Blog and Facebook page each day.
