Warm & Toasty

 

I’m straying a bit from the TCP Valentine’s cards I've been making. I guess I was inspired by the weather some of us here in North America have been dealing with. Believe me, shaker snow is a pleasure, real snow, not my favorite!

This card features goodies from The Cat's Pajamas newest release. The card today features the new Rectangular Stamps Cutables and Miss Ewe digital stamp as well as Snowflake and Nested Hearts Cutables from a previous release.

I started this card by printing and cutting the ewes from white cardstock using a Silhouette. I used the mirror object function to flip one of them horizontally before printing. They were colored with Copic markers.

I wanted to try paper piecing again and this time got it to work. To do this, I used the eraser tool to isolate the scarf. I mirrored this image (actually several times to have extras just in case. Using the mirror tool after everything was erased made it much easier.

I printed the scarves on polka dot paper and then repeated the offset process and cut the scarfs with no problem. I did a little fussy cutting to clean up the edges of the scarves.

To complete the card,  Rectangular Stamp was sized and cut to  served as a mat for the flat shaker.  Mica flakes and a few sequins make up the snow.  A few snowflakes were cut and placed next, then the ewes.  Little hearts seemed appropriate for the sweet sentiment that was printed, cut and matted.

Thanks for taking a look!  Stay tuned for more of the February release from the Cat Pack.  Stay warm and take care.

Aloha,
