Take Flight for Sneaky Peek Week

Sneaky Peek Week at The Cat's Pajamas continues today with the reveal of the new Take Flight set. The upcoming release includes five brand new stamp sets, four new CutUps die sets, and two new Cutables cut files, and will be available for purchase on Tuesday, May 26.

There's No Place Like Home card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud
I used the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches as the starting point for my card.  I stamped the set's "there's no place like home" sentiment on a pale gray label die cut with one of the dies from the CutUps Framed Up die set.  It was adhered to a light blue cardstock panel over a strip of red dotted washi tape.

I used two new coordinating CutUps die sets--Bird Friends and Birdhouses to make the other elements for my card.  I stamped the birdhouse image on the die cut, then filled in the opening with a red glitter covered heart. The roof was die cut from gray cardstock.  I adhered the roof directly to the cardfront, then added the birdhouse with foam tape for dimension. The bird image was stamped on the matching die cut in red pigment ink.  I used foam tape to adhere it over the birdhouse.  After all of the elements were in place, I added a trio of white sequins around the panel for a little sparkle.  I layered the finished panel on a pale gray card base.
