Itty Bitty Betty Angel is sitting on a giant snowflake and playing her horn. The Christmas Frogs are hanging out on their favourite Christmas sweets, and the Gingerbread Men are climbing all over each other because they are so excited for Christmas.

Just have to share this card!


How amazing is this card that Karla Urea created?!? I love so many things about it: the sparkle in Lily's hair, the spooky scene that fits just perfectly, the white cloud behind the little bird that make him pop.
Awesome job on your card Karla and thanks for sharing!
Hugs,
Melissa

Design a Digi-A-Day: Day 1

For the next 30 days I'm going to design one digi stamp each day using the new Digi Stamp Designer and post a video of the creation process here on my blog. I love to spend time just playing around with the program. It really helps me come up with new design ideas so I thought it would be fun to share my ideas with you.



I added this design to my store because I liked it so much :) I just love adding clown costumes to the PCS characters!
Here's how it looks coloured:
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Digi Stamp Designer Program Launch

I’m excited to announce the launch of our new Digi Stamp Designer program!! The Digi Stamp Designer allows you to create your very own digi stamps using Pink Cat Studio characters and accessories.

Now that you have control over the design of the stamp, you can make your cards and crafts even more personal. Maybe a little boy’s birthday is coming up and you know that he loves dinosaurs and pirates. Why not make a pirate dinosaur stamp especially for his card! Or your friend loves cupcakes and tea and you want to make a special card just for her. The Digi Stamp Designer gives you the power to design your digi stamps to suit your needs.

The program itself is available for everyone to use so go ahead and play around. I’ve spent hours just trying out ideas and having fun being creative. When you create a design that you are happy with and would like to purchase as a digi stamp it’s very easy to place your order and the price is only $2.99US per design. 

Our Design Team had a blast creating their very own digis for this program launch. If you see a design you like you can purchase it in the Pink Cat Studio store here.

I’d like to thank Shiloh Bruckler and Mariska van der Veer for being our guest designer for the launch!

Shiloh is DT member MacKenzie’s adorable daughter. She is a big PCS fan so I really wanted to see what she would create with the Digi Stamp Designer. I really think kids will have a blast playing with the program too. Shiloh is eight years old and full of sass. She loves drawing, knitting and coloring Pink Cat Studio images. She has an entire drawer of printed PCS images and her own set of Copic markers that she bought with her allowance money. She wanted a blog like her Momma's, she posts when the mood strikes: http://kittyshidingplace.blogspot.com/.

Thanks to my DT for helping me test the program and for creating these adorable digis and cards:
