It’s the third day of Sneaky Peek Week and we want you to be ahead when it comes to making your Cinco de Mayo cards! We are Sneaky Peeking two more fun items prior to our March 26 release. We are releasing each item the day it’s peeked so you can get them before they sell out.
Say “Hola” to the NEW Cinco de Cactus Stamp Set and the NEW Stitched Squares & More CutUps. Christine Okken’s brightly colored card gets you in the mood. The Stitched Squares create the cutouts for the singing cactus. And, Christine adds the “Happy” from the NEW Year of the Pig Stamp Set.
Nancy Thomas uses a light gray ink to stamp the sentiment from the NEW Cinco de Cactus Stamp Set and create the background. She nestles two of the cacti in our County Fair CutUps.
We consider our NEW Stitched Squares & More CutUps a must have. Not only do they cut inside out stitched squares, and more, they also go with our NEW 4 Seasons Duo CutUps. Perfectly sized to work with the stamps, it allows you the ability to create your own stamp design and place it in the postage stamp diecut like Brenda Nakandakari does here.
Brenda Nakandakari also used the NEW Stitched Squares & More CutUps on this pretty card. She created the little window that are the perfect place to see our lovely NEW Spring Mix Confetti.

Brenda Nakandakari creates this sweet card with the giraffe and elephant from the NEW Jungle Boogie Stamp Set. She adds the words and hearts from the Stitched Big Hugs CutUps.
Wendy McGaffey creates this cute shaker card using all the animals from the NEW Jungle Boogie Stamp Set. She fills it with the NEW Holographic Green Holeless Sequins. LOVE that it looks like they are playing in a field of bling.

Nancy Thomas stamps up this sweet striped background and cuts the balloon & frame to put the focus on the Birthday cake. Front and center is this darling elephant holding the balloon.
Here’s another take on the Giraffe and postage stamp frame from Kerry Urbatch. While Melissa Chipperfield created a clean and classic card, Kerry creates a rich arty one. It’s a great way to show how versatile NEW Jungle Boogie Stamp Set is.

I hope you enjoying the Sneaky Peek yesterday! Today, we are Sneaky Peeking two more CA-UTE items, the For Fox Sake Stamp Set and the Spring Tree Duo CutUps Die. Our March Release is officially March 26, but, if you see something you really, really like, that is Sneaky Peeked, you’ll be able to purchase it the day we peek it. So, let’s get started.
Kerry Urbatch created this DARLING card , watercoloring the background behind the Spring Tree Duo CutUps . It’s such a great die for Spring. It’s actually two dies. Once cuts the tree, and one cuts a circle with stitching on the outside. Use them together to get this pretty framed tree. Kerry adds the sentiment and fox from the For Fox Sake Stamp Set watering the tree for a bit of whimsy.
Kerry uses our NEW Spring Mix Confetti to the front of the card for a bit of sparkle. How did she do it? Easily, with our NEW Gem Wand, that helps you pick up rhinestones and small bits of paper or glitter.
Speaking of whimsy, Christine Okken makes these two foxes from the For Fox Sake Stamp Set focus of her card. She adds the stitched banner from the NEW Stitched Squares & More CutUps.
Beata June, creates this soft and beautiful card inserting a green tree in the stitched circle of the Spring Tree Duo CutUps . I love this beautifully colored fox from the For Fox Sake Stamp Set . I just love his sassy expression.
I just keep coming back to look at this stunningly simple card by Melissa Chipperfield again and again. She uses just the inside of the Spring Tree Duo CutUps to cut the tree. The sentiment is from the For Fox Sake Stamp Set,and stamped on one of the ribbon banners.
Julee Tilman creates this color rich card, coloring the background of the Spring Tree Duo CutUps with purple. When I lived in Southern California I was delighted to welcome Spring when the Jacaranda Trees burst into bloom. I had never seen such magnificent purple trees, and this card reminds me of them.
Here’s another card from Melissa Chipperfield that is full of whimsy. She used the circle from the Spring Tree Duo CutUps to cut the stitched circle on a panel and stamped clouds to peek out behind it. Her sentiment is brilliantly placed on its side.
Finally, Julee Tilman card uses beautifully textured paper and our Square Stamp Duo to frame this sassy little fox from the For Fox Sake Stamp Set. The sentiment is a perfect fit on the Liners CutUps.
The Cat Pack created some truly beautiful cards don’t you think? If you do, comment on each of the following blogs and instagrams and you could win a $10 gift voucher. We’ll pick a winner each day this week from the comments on the blogs and instagrams and post the winners here and on our Facebook page.

Happy Year of the Pig! Today is the very first day of our March Sneaky Peek Week. We are counting down to March 26, our March Release. That’s the day that you will be able to purchase our entire release. But, if you see something you really, really like, that is Sneaky Peeked, you’ll be able to purchase it the day we peek it.
Today, we are peeking our brand spanking NEW stamp set, Year of the Pig, and our NEW Rectangular Stamp Duo Die.
I’d also like to remind you to play along with our TCP Tuesday Challenge. The theme is Envie Envy. Decorate an envelope to go along with your card. The Cat Pack outdid themselves, so pour yourself a cuppa, relax and enjoy.
There is so much to love about this card and envie by Cristena Bagne. The pigs and sentiments are from the NEW Year of the Pig Stamp Set. Her coloring is so subtle on the white card and is so perfect, making her elements stand out. The frame is the large Rectangular Stamp Duo and she uses the Round Bubble Duo to “hold” the sequins in.
Christine Okken is up next. I love this sweet little piggy floating around in the postage stamp shaped pool. Christine uses an old favorite to make waves.
The gangs all here in this fun card and envie by Nancy Thomas. She framed up three of the darling pigs in this cute card with the large Rectangular Stamp Duo. She added a bit of bling with our Pink & Green Holeless Sequins.
I’m loving the COLORS in this card by Wendy McGaffey. She actually has several of the pigs from the NEW Year of the Pig Stamp set, as well as the sentiments. Check out her blog for another sweet card.
Lynn Collins shakes things up with this sweet shaker card. She’s uses the NEW Rectangular Stamp Duo to create the frame for the shaker and inside is our NEW Confetti. I call it Spring Mix . And, if her card wasn’t special enough, take a gander at her envelope. It’s just darling with the little pig in a dress from the NEW Year of the Pig Stamp Set.
How about this DARLING shaker by Brenda Nakandakari using the Round Bubble Duo as a pool and to hold the NEW Green Holeless Sequins? And, her envie is definitely one that I envy. It’s just beautiful with the water drops and bathing pig.
This card by Melissa Chipperfield is simple, and stunning. Her pig is sooo cute and using the He Said, She Said Die for the sentiment is terrific. And, her envelope is sure to bring a smile.
Summer is calling and this cute pool card and matching envie from Deborah Anton are just charming. She adds a little more charm by “sprinkling” some of the Spring Confetti Mix around her card.
Last but not least, this colorful card by Julee Tilman using the NEW Year of the Pig Stamp Set and Rectangular Stamp Dies is just too cute. The Dots CutUps is the perfect backdrop. And, the envie? It has me green. With envy.
I hope you liked these beauties, if you did, comment on each of the following blogs and you could win a $10 gift voucher. We’ll pick a winner each day this week from the comments on the blogs and instagrams and post the winners here and on our Facebook page.
If you want to play along in our TCP Tuesday Envie Envy Challenge, just add your card to the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post.
It’s Day #3 of Sneaky Peek Week! I don’t know about you, but I just can’t get started without a cup of my favorite liquid, COFFEE! Regular coffee, that is. Not, that $5 a cup of foamy goodness (that comes in the afternoon). What can I say, coffee makes me smile.
So, it just seems fitting that we have a set that celebrates that morning essential that brings so much joy. I am happy to introduce the NEW Freshly Brewed Heaven. This set, and all the items shown so far this week are NOW AVAILABLE in the shop.
Kerry Urbatch creates this stunning card with Freshly Brewed Heaven. She stamps up the cup and latte from the set, adds the happy faces (yes, they are separate so you can mix and match them, or not use them at all) and even creates the patterned paper with one of the stamps in the set. The NEW Round Bubbles CutUps Die cuts the stitched circle and the bubbles behind. I really think it’s such a clever card. Note: The sentiment panel cut at an angle. Must copy!
Nancy Thomas really tempts me with this card using Freshly Brewed Heaven and the NEW Coffee Clatch CutUps. And her addition of the NEW Stitched Enjoy CutUps just sets off the cups perfectly.
This card by Lynn Collins is so elegant and exactly how I like my coffee. Hot, with a dollop of cream is how I like it, and yes, it does keep the Grumpy away. Just ask anyone. I LOVE the feminine look of this card, almost as much as my coffee.Hot, with a dollop of cream is how I like it, and yes, it does keep the Grumpy away. Just ask anyone. I LOVE the feminine look of this card, almost as much as my coffee.
Special Guest Designer, Julee Tilman, never ceases to amaze me. She is on a roll with her “almost” one layer cards. She went “cute” by adding the sweet faces. The gold rounds on the card are from the NEW Round Bubbles CutUps and Julee adds a little shine with the NEW Silver Saucers Holeless Sequins.
So MANY great comments! We picked a winner from Lynn Collins’ Instagram.

Happy Tuesday! It’s a brand new month in a brand new year. For the last few years we’ve tried a couple of new things. Monthly releases, featured stampers, etc. I heard from many about really focusing on each item and showcasing what you can really do with it.
So, this year we will be doing just that and going back to releases every 2 months and exploring just what you can do with each item. In addition, every item will be available for purchase once it’s shown on Sneaky Peek Week.
Today, I’m Sneaky Peeking this darling new set featuring the Long-Eared Bunny, Don’t Be Koi. For this card, I wanted it to be a little masculine and to sit up nicely on my Honey’s desk. So, I pulled out the Step Out Cutables to cut the base and mat. I edged the layers with dark ink.
I used the FREE Cutting files for Don’t Be Koi and colored the bunny with copics and layered him on top of the Heart Rosette CutUps, only using one of the rosettes. Before I put him down, I added two different strips of washi tape. The sentiment was stamped on the banner from the Easy Rosettes Cutups.
As a finishing touch, I added some of our NEW Silver Saucers Holeless Sequins, and Hearts with acetate strips so that they would jiggle and dance. I may edge them in dark ink, as well.
Kerry Urbatch creates this cutie of a gatefold card with the hearts flying out of the pail. I don’t what is cuter, the card or how she is displaying him. The cloud behind the bunny is from our New Enjoy CutUps. Clever!
Joining us this week is Designer Extraordinaire, Julee Tilman! I adore this shaker card that she created with the NEW Don’t Be Koi Stamp Set and the NEW Round Bubble CutUps.
Making a shaker card with the NEW Round Bubble CutUps is easy. It comes in two pieces. One, that can cut the acetate and backer and the “bubbles” part that you insert to the first part to give you the border that hides the foam that creates the pocket for the shaker “insides”. LOVE the shiny “insides” that are our NEW Silver Saucers Holeless Sequins.

It’s Day #2 of Sneaky Peek Week. And, today we are featuring this adorable Stamp Set called “Always Believe”. This set and the items featured in today’s peek are now available in the shop.
First, is this darling card by Lynn Collins. There is so much delicious goodness on this card from the “cloud” she created by turning the stitched base from the NEW Enjoy CutUps Die upside down to create the cloud. The “grass” is the Wavy Stitched Border.
Special Guest Designer, Julee Tilman, creates this cutie! It’s a simple one-layer card, but it’s any thing but simple.
The Kitty and Crow were stamped, and masked. Then, the hearts were stamped so that the Kitty and Crow look like they are standing in the “rain”. Beautifully done.
Brenda Nakandakari created this wonderfully colored card. Lovely blended colors and to personalize it even more, Brenda colored up the NEW Silver Saucers Holeless Sequins to match. Stunning!
I just fell in love with this set, so I had to join in. My New Year’s Resolution is to break out of my comfort zone and use items from my stash. So, I started off by skewing the patterned paper on the card base, and embossing a leftover stitched rectangle.
On top, I added the NEW Round Bubbles CutUps Die (LOVE!) and added a patterned row of clouds. I had some banners cut, and the white one was perfect for the sentiment. I used the FREE Cutting Files for this set and just went to town coloring with copics. A couple of Silver Saucer Holeless Sequins for a bit of shine and I was done.
This card came together so quickly, I really had the time to enjoy coloring. So much fun.

Woo Hoo! It’s Day #6 of Sneaky Peek Week. That means there are only a couple more sleeps until October 30 when you can get all the stamps and dies that The Cat Pack have been surprise and delighting you with.
PJ the Bear is bringing you a Cosmic Christmas in this NEW stamp set by the same name. PJ can be colored as simply as you wish, giving you time to to play with the background. Love how Brenda finished off this card by making PJs helmet 3D.
What is winter without a little snow? Brenda uses this New to the Shop Die by Poppy Stamps to create the focal point for her card. The Gnome from the NEW Gnome for the Holidays Stamp Set lights the way.
Next up is Michele Ferguson. She layers up pretty papers for a stylish and quick “home” for PJ the Bear from the NEW Cosmic Christmas Stamp Set.
Next, is this beauty. Michele uses the Mountains CutUps to create the background for this card. To make them really stand out, she slightly offsets them so you can see the color behind. It’s a lovely setting for the NEW Village & Trees Die aka Country Houses Die from Poppy Stamps.
I think that Brenda Nakandakari and Michele Ferguson created some wonderful cards, but the cards on this blog are not all. Make your way to Brenda Nakandakari’s and Michele Ferguson’s to take a peek at their other beauties. Then leave a comment. You could win a $10 gift voucher just by leaving a comment.

It’s the second to last Tuesday in the Month, so that means it’s the start of Sneaky Peek Week. On October 30, we’ll be releasing 3 New Stamp Sets and 4 NEW Dies. During Sneaky Peek Week our Talented Cat Pack will tempt and tease you will all the goodies that will be available on October 30.
This release is very retro, so we’ve asked back one of the original Cat Packers, Julee Tilman, to join us stamping up our pretties. Sprinkle makes a comeback in her little VW bug coming home with a terrific tree in the NEW North Pole or Bust Stamp Set. Julee adds sparkle to her card by using glitter paper for the NEW 5 Snowflakes Dies and an old favorite, the Icing CutUps Die.
Also, joining Julee is Cat Packer, Nancy Thomas. She fussy cuts this great penguin from the New North Pole or Bust Stamp Set and places him on a sponged background and adds snowflakes from the NEW 5 Snowflakes Dies. She adds some enamel dots to the center for a bit of shine.
I don’t know about you but I’m a little obsessed with anything Scandinavian. Like this great Gnome from the NEW Gnome for the Holidays Stamp Set. Nestled in the NEW Snowflake Border and the NEW J*Y Die, Julee makes him pop with her coloring. And, don’t you just love the jingle bell embellishment?
Whenever I do cards for the Holidays I like to do a couple of special cards (I like to call them 6 pounders because of all the embellishments) for my friends and then do a lot of not so embellished cards for the masses. Since people know I make my own cards, they still have to be special and original, but easy enough to create en masse.
This beauty by Nancy is exactly the type of card would make for masses. The NEW Village & Tree Die (Free with $65 purchase) is just so elegant against an embossed background. The sentiment is from the NEW North Pole or Bust Stamp Set. And for a final bit of shine, Holeless Sequins. Elegant but easy.
If you like fun, non-traditional cards for the Holidays, then the NEW Cosmic Christmas is for you. PJ the Bear floats in from space to grace this card. Julee pulls out her Distress Oxide inks to create this far out background. LOVE how she anchors PJ with the vellum moon.
Here’s a inside shadowbox card from Nancy using the NEW Gnome For The Holidays Stamp Set and the NEW Snowflake Border. On the front, the beautifully colored Gnome is placed on the scalloped circle frame from the Going Round and Round Die.
On the interior, is another Gnome from the same set and a couple of snowflakes from the NEW 5 Snowflakes Die.

It’s Day #3 of Sneaky Peek Week! I’ve been getting a lot of queries about the Stamps and Dies we are showing this week. I’m so glad you like them. They will be releasing on September 25. That’s only 4 more sleeps.
Yesterday, Michele Ferguson strutted her stuff. Now, it’s Christine Okken‘s turn to shine.
Christine’s first card is a beauty. She creates a lovely background for the NEW Round Tree Die. To add a little frosty texture, she adds microbeads to the front.
Here’s a closer look. I can almost feel the chill in the air. In the corner she adds a small stamp from our NEW Christmas Seals Stamp Set.
There is nothing quite so elegant as a blue and silver card for the holidays. So, why not lighten it up with this funny cat all wrapped up in Christmas lights. He, and the sentiment are from our NEW Better Not Pout Stamp Set.
Christine used the Toppers CutUps to create the lacy top and the Easy Stitched Bow finishes off the card.
Now here’s a colorful birthday card that is perfect for the season. Embellished with some of the dies from our NEW Sugar Skull Duo Die and the Big, Little Alphabet. Not only is this a great card for a teenager, but a great masculine birthday card.
Christine Okken’s cards are just wonderful. Stop by her blog and tell her so. You could win a $10 gift voucher just by leaving a comment. We’ll pick a winner each day this week and post here and on our Facebook page. Don’t forget to come back tomorrow to see even more goodies.
The winner for Day #2’s Sneaky Peek Voucher was pulled from Michele Ferguson‘s Blog.
