Sweet!! TCP Sneaky Peek Day 1

Good morning and welcome to the first Sneaky Peek Day of the first release of 2012 at The Cat's Pajamas!!  We're super excited about all the new goodies coming - 7 stamp sets and 4 new CutUps dies! It's time to put the Christmas papers and way and think Spring!

But wait there's more - lol! It's also TCP Tuesday and our Hostess With the Mostess Jen has come up with another gorgeous set of inspirational photos for us this week. Check out her post to see all the details. The set we are peeking today is appropriately one conceptualized by Jen also - Gimme Some Sugar has so mamy fun elements!! The peeks you will see today from the other Cat Packers will clearly demonstrate what I mean - so many options for lots of different looks!

I went for the obvious-Valentine-pink-and-red look but using it for a cute sweets box this time. I had this box left over from an event several years ago (I think it is from Jody Morrow but I'm not sure if she still sells them). 

I stamped the elements I wanted, did a bit of piecing for the banner and added lots of Glossy Accents for shine. Sprinkle fans get out your wallets, this set is HOT!

How about new CutUps?  Do you see maybe one or two?? Goodness gracious Alma has done it again! The  sweet heart de-scalloped (ok, yes I just made that up - haha!) border is the new Queen of Hearts CutUps die.  It's fab because it gives you 2 different borders which each cut. The other side of the die is a scalloped edge with tiny piercings.   And I love, love, love the new Heart Rosette CupUps die!!  It makes such a great embellishment or you could use just one of them flat as a layering panel.  I made a cute little embellie on a stick using it and the new Peppermint Divine Twine (which is really in the store now if you can't wait!). I love these colors together so so much!

So that's today's peek - off to a great start wouldn't you say? Be sure to visit Alma's blog and/or the TCP Forum on Splitcoaststampers for a list of what Cat Packers are peeking all week. The Release Party is set for Monday, January 9 at 8 pm EST - be there for lots of fun and prizes.

And if that wasn't enough, we're also bringing back In It To Win It!  You can win the set we are peeking each day just by chatting on THIS thread - comment as many times as you like and have fun!! Thanks for seeing it through to the end today -Happy peeking! :)
