Release Day Hop & TCP Tuesday 192

Happy Release Day!!  The Cat's Pajamas totally went to town this week and released 7 brand new stamp sets and 4 new CutUps dies at our Release Party last night.  You've been seeing the peeks all week and now is your chance to bring them home!  You're going to want them ALL!!

It's also TCP Tuesday and since I'm the Hostess with the Mostess this week the hop starts here!! Our Technique/Supply challenge this week is embossing - you can dry emboss, heat emboss or use an embossing folder . . . anything goes!!

I used the brand new set Feelin' Cupidy for my card today. How can you resist a bunny with wings?!!  I also used 2 of the new CutUps dies, Queen of Hearts and Heart Rosette.  I actually used the Heart Rosette die to emboss right on my cardbase (just do it the same way you emboss when using your Nesties - use your tan embossing mat, then the cardstock, then the die and the top plate, in my case B for my Cuttlebug).


After I embossed part of the die, I used some of the pop out hearts to add back on the embossed area.  It's a totally fun way to use your pretty dies!  I should also mention that this card is 5" x 3.5" - a fun size!


I also embossed the hilarious sentiment in the bottom corner using some red scented embossing powder - mmmm cinnamon!


Now it's time to hop on over to Susan's blog - she's got more inspiration to get you embossing!! Be sure to finish up on Alma's blog for all the details on TCP Tuesday - how you could win Cat Cash and maybe even the Swanky Stamper title for January!!  We'd also love to see you over on the TCP Forum at Splitcoststampers!!
