TCP Tuesday 221 and the Weekly Winner

TCP Tuesday's challenge for this week is brought to you by the Hostess with the Mostess, Amy Sheffer. And this week it's a Sketch challenge. And here is the sketch:

Make sure you check out Amy's card. It's full of scrappy goodness that Amy does best.
And while you are at it, check out the other Amy's card. Amy mixes and matches patterned paper within an inch of this card's life. And darned if she doesn't make it look easy. (Well, easy if you are Amy, that is.)

Susan makes the sweetest journal for her daughter using this sketch, proving how versatile it really is.

Julie's Birthday card is really a delight! Love her colors and use of the Mustache CutUps!

I hope you are inspired to pull out your stamps and CutUps dies and play along using our sketch as your inspiration. Just add your card below. You could win $10 in Cat's Cash for playing.

TCP 220 Challenge and the Weekly Winner

TCP Tuesday's challenge for this week is brought to you by the Hostess with the Mostess, Susan Liles. And this week it's a stamp challenge. And here is the challenge:

Use any TCP Bear stamp. This should be super easy because there are so many! Combine your bear stamp with one of these CutUps dies:
Queen of Hearts or Apron Border

Susan has a delightful card using Quality Time as her stamp set of choice. It features not one, but two of our bears. A Momma bear or Poppa bear and a baby bear.

Amy is in a beary scary Halloween mood with her Spooky card. Drop by her blog and say "Boo"

Nancy shows off a beary special Christmas card in July. At the rate she is going, she won't have to make any cards come December. Now that is planning ahead.

And Jen's card is the perfect way to say "I love you" in a beary special way.

Julie's Birthday card was designed for her niece, but any age would love this beary cheerful card.

I adore this beary charming card by Lori. Such a simple graphic card that packs a visual wallop.

I hope you are inspired to pull out your Bear stamps and stamp a card or two. Just add your card below. You could win $10 in Cat's Cash for playing.

July Project of the Month

Susan Liles knows how pull out all the stops when it comes to a party. Her terrific Mustache Bash Ensemble is just the ticket for some Summertime fun. Or fun, all the year round.

It's the Project of the Month.

TCP Tuesday 217 and the Weekly Winner

Have you been playing along with our TCP Tuesday Technique Challenge this week? You have noticed that I am posting a bit later in the week to allow you to play along with us. In the Summertime the time just flys and there never seems to be enough time in the day.

Julie is our Hostess with the Mostess and she has a great Techinque Challenge that will have you made in the shade. She wants you to make a Sunglasses shaped card this week. And, she's even providing you with the template. Just go to our Forum on the Splitcoaststampers website and download the free template to make your card.

Amy went Nerdy meets secret agent in her card this week. I LOVE it. As a glasses wearer I can relate to the tape on the bridge. I think that has happened to all of us sometime in our life.

And our other Amy made sunglasses for her card. I love the die cuts in this card used as reflections in the glasses, just perfect.

Jen is hosting a swanky party for her beautiful daughter, Ellie, and these glasses are just perfect for her theme, using pink polka dots for the frames.

And Lori, rocks my world with a bit of fun from those rockin' penguins. She has the beat!

Nancy's bright and happy card is really perfect for this time of year. Especially where I am. One day it's sunny. The next rainy. Weird, I know. But, Nancy's card is anything but.

Susan's got hearts in her eyes with her card. Just a couple of die cuts make her card sassy. Who loves it? Me, that's who.

July Swanky Stamper

 

Noelle McAdams — Swanky Stamper for July

One of the goals for The Cat's Pajamas is to create stamps and dies that are versatile and spark your imagination. Give it a little poke, if you will. I am constantly surprised at what comes out of it.

Take this wonderful card by Noelle McAdams. She used our Window CutUps die to create a nine pane window for this pretty card. Then she creates a delightfully pretty scene for us to view through it using our Cloud Border and Grass CutUps and our Field of Pinwheels Stamp Set. Truly fabulous.

Noelle McAdams — Swanky Stamper for July

TCP Tuesday 216 and the Weekly Winner

I don't know about you, but I am always moved to create when I see Jen del Muro's Inspiration Collages for TCP Tuesday. There is such a variety in the photos, but all work together. And I love seeing what everyone comes up with when they interpret the Inspiration Collage.

First, hop on over to see Jen's very own interpretation of this sketch. Really beautiful and elegant. I just can't stop looking at it.

Then, go for some crisp Winter fun at Nancy's. She uses our Snowflake Lace Paper CutUps to give her card that dainty, lacy look.

Amy, just makes my jaw drop with her beautifully simple and elegant card. Truly stunning.

And, Julie's fresh and lovely card is one that anyone would love to receive. So Pretty.

Lori takes her inspiration from the flowers and vases in the photo and creates a wonderful card full of texture and interest.

Then go over to Jenny's blog. She uses the Lacy Floral Doily CutUps flowers to create an intricate background for some cheeky butterflies.

Are you inspired, yet? Then stamp something up. And then add it to the Inlinkz gallery below. You could win a gift voucher to our website!

And then check out what the other Cat Packers have created.

Jen's soft and pretty card is signature Jen del Muro. Lots of great textures and patterns.

Then, Lori's delightful Summer card is fresh and fun with a little bit of whimsy thrown in.

TCP Tuesday 214

Have you played along with the rest of the Cat Pack for this week's TCP Tuesday Challenge?
Susan is our Hostess for the Mostess this week. And her challenge will blow you away! Here it is

Use any stamp image that could be "taken by the wind" or that you'd blow on...(which could be candles). Could also be the balloons from Catch My Drift, Field of Pinwheels, What a Blast, or even A Cuppa or Blow, etc. Because of not many people being able to play because they never have the required die, this time there will be a choice of 2 because I'm nice. Let's use either the

Cloud Border or Pinwheel Die

so please include it on your card or project along with your stamp
for this challenge.

That's the Challenge!

Want some ideas? How about Nancy's darling take, using the Pinwheel Die placed perfectly on her card.

Or Lori's sweet card. She used the Cloud Border in felt, and tucked it behind her main image.

Want an original idea for teacher's gifts? Then Amy is your gal. Check out her amazing and creative gift tins.

And I am in love with Julie's card. She uses fun and unexpected papers for her card. Just delightful!

Jenny just blows me away with her creations. They could be room decor, or favors, or table settings. SOOOoo cute.

Or Jen's card. So soft and pretty. I think I am in love.

Are you inspired, yet? Then stamp something up. And then add it to the Inlinkz gallery below. You could win a gift voucher to our website!

It's Challenge time again and this week our Hostess with the Mostess is Lori! She's doing the color challenge this week and it is really Summery and yummy. She is challenging you to use Lemon, Orange, and Berry. Sounds like a Smoothie, no?

So check out Lori's card when you get the chance. It is just as sweet as Lori.

Then head over to Jen's blog and see a total modern twist on the postoid. Years ago postoids were all the rage on cards and on assemblage art. This card by Jen really shows why. And could start the craze again.

Julie creates another fun and pretty card. I really love her use of embellishments in this and how she combined the Anywhere Ribbon Slide with the Circus Border CutUps. Love the look.

Swanky Stamper of the Month

Chris Veneruso — Swanky Stamper for June

I admit, I'm kind of a simple country gal at heart. I love homemade, homespun things. Handcrafted goodness makes me go weak in the knees. And items that make me smile, make me swoon. And that is just what I did when I saw this sweet card by Chris Veneruso. Delightful paper choices, textures, sewing? What is not to love. And her coloring? There is something about a pink bellied bunny that just does it for me.

Chris Veneruso — Swanky Stamper for June

June Project of the Month

Julie Masse creates fabulous Father's Day boxes to hold that special tie, or goodie. Dad will like anything that comes packaged in these fun boxes.

Download more detailed instructions here.

Father's Day Tie Boxes. For Father's Day or any day. They are the Project of the Month.

TCP Tuesday 212 and the Weekly Winner

 

Yesterday, was my birthday and though generally, I like birthdays, I was not so happy this time, when this one rolled around. Yes, it was a big one. Thank you very much. No matter how much you don't want something to happen, there is just no stopping the inevitable.

So, I've been taking a little time for myself, doing a little woolgathering, if you will. So I apologize for the lateness of my posts. I've just been moving a little slower these days. Must be my advanced age.

This week's TCP Tuesday challenge is one of my favorites, the Technique Challenge. Julie is our Hostess with the Mostess and the technique is Paper Pleating!

You may remember, our very own Amy Rohl, did a paper pleating tutorial on Splitcoaststampers a while back, and Julie wants you to visit this popular technique and create something.

So check out Julie's fabulous card. But, be ready to laugh! It's a funny one

And Jen's, bright and cheery card. Her cards are always so amazing!

Or Jenny's happy and fun card. So packed full of techniques, I could spend the whole day just trying to recreate one of them.

And Nancy's card just makes my heart soar with her fabulous paper piecing and paper selection.

Lori's sweet card, shows off yet another way to use this versatile technique. I hope you'll try paper pleating and add it to the inlinkz button at the bottom of this post. It's a great way to get texture and an embellishment for your card that folds flat and is inexpensive.

TCP Tuesday 211 And the Weekly Winner

This week's TCP Tuesday Challenge is our Inspiration Challenge and Jen del Muro is our Hostess with the Mostess!

It's Spring outside, and everything is green and growing. Everything feels so crisp and new. And that is what this sketch is all about. But, the Inspiration is just a jumping off point. Take what you wish from the collage and run with it.


Jen is inspired by the colors and shapes in the Inspiration collage and creates a wonderful treat box. I can just image this as a favor in a Summer wedding or bridal shower.

Amy uses our new Window CutUps and creates this wonderful scrappy card. I am just in love with it.

Or how about Julie's fresh and clean card? I always want to make dozens of cards based on Julie's designs!

And Nancy's card is just a wonderful way to welcome in Spring!

TCP Tuesday 209 and the Weekly Winner

Sorry for the delay in getting this post up. This past weekend I was teaching at The Cat's Meow Annual Stamp Escape! What a wonderful setting, full of wonderful people and a weekend packed with stamping and ATC trading! Lots of old friends, and new friends met and made. I even got to see one of my very favorite teachers, Sherie Cooley. Sherie is the teacher that I always wanted to be. Organized, creative, lots of energy and oodles of talent. And she was taking my class. No pressure, really.

The event took place in beautiful Yosemite, which is 3000 ft above sea level. So needless to say, I'm still moving a little slow. 

So on with TCP Tuesday/Wednesday and it's a Stamp/CutUps Challenge!

Susan is the Hostess with the Mostess this day. And here is her challenge.

Now it's MMMMAY, our Challenge for this week is being brought to you today by the letter M!!!!!!!!

Use any stamp(s) from The Cat's Pajamas that starts with the letter M. This doesn't necessarily mean the SET starts with the letter M, but any STAMP starting with the letter M or a stamp containing something starting with the letter M. 

We are also sponsored by the
PENNANT CutUps Die
so please include it on your card or project along with your stamp for this challenge.

Got your thinking caps on?? Now stamp and upload your fabulous creation using the InLinkz button below.

TCP Tuesday and the Project of the Month.

 

Happy Release Day and TCP Tuesday! Julie is our Hostess with the Mostess on this day.

If you've been hopping along through The Cat Pack and our talented guests, the Swanky Stampers, you know that today is also TCP Tuesday. And if you've come from Noelle's Blog, you are in the right place.

So if you joined us in the middle and not at the start of the hop, go back to Julie's blog. I guarantee it will be worth it.

Julie's TCP Tuesday Challenge is a supply challenge. And Julie is challenging you to use handmade flowers in your cards or project. And that is perfect for today, because not only do we have a die or two in this release that you can use, but the April Project of the month features several different handmade flowers.

 

So the April Project of the Month is this Paper Flower Wreath Sampler. All the flowers on the wreath were made using our new CutUps, the Pom Pom Flower,  and the Heart Border, as well as a few oldies, but goodies, the Easy Rosette and the Sunflower Rosette. Pretty snazzy, eh?

The wreath features Hyacinth, Poppies, Carnations, Bachelor Buttons, Roses and Daffodils. It was so fun coming up with the different flowers using our CutUps Dies. And this sampler is a great way that you can learn how to create them yourself. Just download the instruction sheet on our website.

I'm going to be working on a video showing how some of these flowers are created. But, just in case you want to start now, check out the Project.

So go and make some for this TCP Tuesday challenge. You could win a $10 gift certificate just by play. I'll announce the Weekly Winner for this week later today.

Here are the Deets for TCP Tuesday.
1. Each Tuesday we will give you a challenge.
2. You will have until the end of the month to complete the challenge.

3. Add your entry to the Inlinkz Gallery or upload to the SCS Gallery, using the keyword TCPTUES207 for this week's challenge.

It's Day #7 of Sneaky Peek Week! That means tomorrow the entire April Collection that you've seen this past week will be available on our website.

This set features PJ the Bear and PJ junior. When I designed this set, I had one of the members of The Cat Pack in mind, Carole Burrage. Not only is Carole, probably one of the smartest people I know, she's a devoted mother, and wonderful friend with a wicked sense of humor. And I know that she's passed these honorable traits onto her terrific sons. I don't know how she does all that she does, and raised two such wonderful sons, but she tells me it's all about Quality Time.

Here is Carole's card. I love how her card just conjures up memories of all the stories we've read and shared with our children. And reminds us to savor the silly & giggly moments that are created that are so special.

 

Amy Sheffer shows off this set in her wonderful scrappy style. She mixes the set with the new Heart Border CutUps and the Heart Trio Cutups.

 

Jenny Peterson creates the perfect bookmark for that special bedtime story using the new Pom Pom Flower Die.
