TCP Tuesday 224 and the Weekly Winner




Thank you for your patience, everyone. Blogger was not cooperating. But, lucky for me, I have several computer whizzes on The Cat Pack who helped me work around my issues.

For those of you who played in last week's TCP Tuesday Stamp Challenge, here is the place to put your cards. Susan was our Hostess with the Mostess and her challenge.....? Water!

Susan says:
I take care of the stamp/CutUps challenge and this week, the theme is:

Water, Water Everywhere!

Use any TCP stamp that implies water--whether liquid or frozen. (Sailing bunny, Puddle girl, Fun in the Sun, etc., even winter images/snow.) This should be super easy because there are so many! Combine your stamp choice with one of these CutUps dies:Wave Border or Snowflake
First, head on over to Susan's Blog. She has THE most darling gift bag/box for Christmas! Yes, I said Christmas! And it's just so sparkley sweeet. Take a peek.

Nancy always mixes and matches the paper on her cards to perfection! And this sweet one is no exception! Her waves really look like they are moving!

Amy's scrappy card is perfection! I don't know how she does it, but she always knows when to stop adding. All her cards are just right.

Jen's Winter card is as classic and original as Jen herself. And a little fun, of course.

Julie missed Lori's Color challenge, but decided to combine it with Susan's Water challenge with wonderful results. I love this image and her paper piecing. Is it just me that finds paper piecing so peaceful?

Lori, used the same little girl in her card, but the look is totally different. Lori has me panting with her coloring!

And Jenny's bold and happy card is just the perfect end to this challenge with her striking paper choices.

Did I say end? Actually, not the end. Just add your entry to the inlinkz button below and join the rest of the peeps that played along with this challenge and you could win some Cat's Cash.

Then, head on back on over to Amy's blog. She is challenging you use a sketch! It's the one that she chose for last week's water challenge. Work on it this week and post it on this blog on Monday for another chance to win some Cat's Cash.

TCP Tuesday Update

I have gotten a lot of questions about my blog lately, regarding the fact the challenges that I post are not as timely as they have been.

Many of our Design Team post on different days of the week. And, unless you follow all of them, (which you should, because they are really awesome) it's a little hard to know who is posting when.

I tried to post each day that the team would post, but that was a challenge in itself.

So, being the executive, I've made the executive decision to post a recap of the week on Mondays. A recap of the challenge with links to the Design Team members who participated in the challenge. For you, it gives you a place where you can easily find links to all the Cat Pack who played along. For me, it gives me a little extra time to fill orders, and draw.

I am sorry if it caused any confusion!

TCP 223 and the Weekly Winner


Last Week's TCP Tuesday's challenge for the week was a Color Challenge! Our Hostess with Mostess was Lori! And she challenged you to use Rose, Sunshine, and Teal in your project.

Lori says:
It’s my turn to host the TCP Tuesday challenge and I picked the colors for week's challenge with hot summer days in mind.   We’re playing with a bold and bright mix of colors combination—rose, sunshine, and teal. Feeling the heat, right?
Amy is feeling the heat with her pretty scrappy card. She uses lot's of pretty die cut shapes and the stamp is the focus of this card.

Nancy puts a twist into her card and shows that these colors are not just for Summer! They are also perfect for when the chill is in the air.

Amy puts a vintagey look into her card. Love all the different textures and the playfulness that make up this card. So pretty!

And I ADORE this sweet card by Jen! Just a wonderful mix of shapes and and patterns. And her jaunty little cloud? SWEET!

Want to play along? Just add your entry to the inlinkz button below and you could win some Cat's Cash.

The TCP Tuesday Challenge and Weekly Winner


TCP Tuesday's challenge for the week was a Technique Challenge! And our Hostess with Mostess was Julie! Her challenge? To use Washi Tape!

What is washi tape? Washi tape is Japanese "Masking Tape". It's thin, and comes in wonderful patterns and textures and Washi Tape is HOT!!  Our challenge today is to pull out your Washi Tape stash and actually use it, on a card or project!

Julie says:
I took a quick look around and there are so many interesting and fun ways to use it!! I am definitely going to try some of the cool things I saw, but today I used it to die cut with!  By nature, washi tape is pretty thin so if you layer it on a piece of cardstock so you should be able to run it through your die cutter with no problem!

Want to see more washi tape goodness? Here is what The Cat Pack did with their washi tape.

So take a look at what Julie did with washi tape! Does it want to make you pull out your stash!

How about Nancy's pretty card? She uses washi tape as a background and the main focus is on the stamp and Nancy's wonderful coloring.

Or Amy's Scrappy Card. I must admit, that scrappy cards are really hard for me to make, but Amy's cards always make me want to try.

The beauty of washi tape is that it tends to be a little see through, as well. So when it is overlapped, it gives a whole new look. Like Jen's clean and simple card. Very simple, but very sophisticated.

And Lori's fun design. Her washi tape takes center stage.

Want to play along? Just add your entry to the inlinkz button below and you could win some Cat's Cash.

And let's not forget about Amy! Her card is scrappy goodness personified. Truly and wonderful and unique look from a wonderful and unique artist.

Or Lori's pretty and classic card. Her card is a go to card that would delight anyone who received it!

Swanky Stamper for August



One of the best things about stamping is that no cards are alike. Even when given the same template to work with, like this Sunglass template that Julie Masse created, each card was different. Like this happy, joyful card that Cyndi Bundy created. Just full of fabulousness. She has it made in the shade. Cyndi is our Swanky Stamper for August

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

TCP Tuesday 213 and the Weekly Winner


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.
