TCP New Release BLOG HOP and TCPTUES276


Hello there! I hope you are Hopping along our New Release Hop for The Cat's Pajamas!  You should have come here from Lisa's blog. If you are lost and would like to start the Hop at the beginning, please go to Julie's blog. Julie is also our Hostess for this TCP Tuesday color challenge! I LOVE this yummy fall palette she chose. The blue and gray are just different enough to make this an interesting and beautiful palette.


I really had fun with this! I used Vintage Halloween

Here is my card:

I used some charcoal seam binding as an accent with a layered fluffy bow at the top. that embellie was a pre-made one from my stash.

I also wanted to show you the fun project I showed at the Pajama Party! I made these candy pop-ups for my boys, using "Eat, Drink, and Be Scary" "Brains," and "Boo Y'all." Their names are stamped with the Coolevtica alphabet onto the oval panel from the Circus Panels CutUps. 



The Cutable file to make the pop-ups is only 1.99 and cuts all the mats as well! When you open the card the candy slides up, it is so SO cute! Alma has a video here to show you how it works.  These were SUPER easy using my Silhouette Cameo. 




Next up on the Hop is the talented Swanky Stamper Brenda Nakandakari!  Thanks for stopping by my blog today! :)

TCP Sneaky Peek Week Day 4: "Vintage Halloween"


Hi friends! Welcome to day four of a FABULOUS new release from The Cat's Pajamas! All these gorgeous stamps, dies, and cut files will be available for purchase on September 30. I have absolutely adored working with these products these last weeks. It is my fave release from TCP *ever!* And knowing what a fan I am of TCP, that is saying a lot. :)


Today we are Peeking the set called "Vintage Halloween." This the 3rd set in the Vintage line. These 3 sets all coordinate with our Framed Up CutUps.  I also used our new stencil blanks along with  "The Birds" CutUp.

I made my own DP (designer paper) by starting out with a simple DP (cream with black lines). Then I used the stencil I'd created, and an ink pad with a dauber to put the birds image on top of the DP. The final touch was to stamp the spider web and spider image from the set over that. I think it turned out pretty fun!
The tag dies are from the new Fancy Flip and Fancy Flip Frames CutUps. I also used some Halloween Divine Twine at the top of my card.

Plus our Fun PJ party on Monday night! :)

TCP Sneaky Peek Week Day 1: "Survivor"


Hi friends! Welcome to day one of a FABULOUS new release from The Cat's Pajamas! All these gorgeous stamps, dies, and cut files will be available for purchase on September 30. I have absolutely adored working with these products these last weeks. It is my fave release from TCP *ever!* And knowing what a fan I am of TCP, that is saying a lot. :)
Today we are Peeking the set "Survivor." My Ribbon Bun is showing his support and trying to raise awareness for Sarcoma tumors. Sarcomas are a rare form of malignant tumors that are often found in muscles or attached to bones. They are very rare, and they are soft tissue tumors, which is unusual. Given that they are rare and feel different from many types of tumors, they are often found late. Two of my very dear friends were diagnosed with different types of sarcomas in 2010. I am very glad to tell you that they are both doing well now, and showing no evidence of disease. I looked it up, and the Sarcoma awareness ribbon is yellow, so that is why my card is yellow.

I also used 2 of our new CutUps for this release, the Fancy Flip CutUps and the Fancy Flip Frames. I had never made a flip card before this one. Now, I am hooked, so fun and easy! To see a demo on these dies, you can check out Alma's video here.




It's hard to see here, but I added some glittery Stickles to Ribbon Bun's nose.

Plus our Fun PJ party on Monday night! :)
