You're Never too Old to Do Goofy Things

Sneaky Peek Week continues today at The Cat’s Pajamas with a first look at the new Bubbles Happen set. Bubbles Happen is just one of the 8 new stamp sets that TCP will be releasing on July 17 along with 3 new CutUps dies and 2 new Cutables files.

I cut the base of the card from light blue cardstock, then used some pastel patterned paper to cut the matching mats. This file is so fun to work with! It makes a card with lots of dimension, but it’s still easy to mail.

You're Never too Old to Do Goofy Things step out card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from The Cat's Pajamas
Once it was assembled, I used the CutUps Grass die to cut strips of grass to add at the bottom of the card. I stamped the bubble-blowing penguin in Versafine Onyx Black ink on a matching penguin shape. After coloring the image with Copic markers and coating the bubbles with some sparkly Stickles, I used foam tape to adhere the penguin to the card. To fill in the scene, I used the small dies from the Easy Rosette CutUps set to make a little sun. I attached it to the top of the panel along with a felt cloud.

I kept the other side of the step card simple. The “you’re never too old to do goofy things” sentiment was stamped at the top in black ink. I added some more sparkly bubbles, then scattered a few sequin “bubbles” around the panel.
