TCP Release Day Blog Hop!

Hello friends! Welcome to the Release Day Blog Hop at The Cat's Pajamas!  We've had 7 days of Sneaky Peeks and the time has finally come for you to shop! Just in case you need to see these fabulous new sets again The Cat Pack is hoping today with all new projects!

But wait, there's more!  It's also TCP Tuesday - the day when we issue a challenge that you have 2 weeks to complete.  There's even a prize. Just link your projects on the TCP blog by Monday (10/13/14) at Midnight, EDT. Each project enters you for a chance to win some Cat Cash up to $15.  I'm the hostess for the challenge today and it's a color challenge, check out the palette below.

I used one of the newly released holidays sets, Joy to the World for my card today.  I also used the NEW Cutables file, Twisted Easel Card.  These Cutables are so easy to use! You can use them with your cutting machine (e.g., a Cameo) or you can use the .pdf to cut it out yourself.

Now I know these colors are your traditional holiday colors but I challenged myself give it a try and I think it turned out ok! This adorable new set not only features our favorite trio of penguins, but also has lots of beautiful sentiments.  I just {love} it!

You can see that I chose to stamp my main image on the base of the easel instead of the stand-up part.  I also stamped the penguins directly onto the dp since it was subtle.

I used the large Ornaments CutUps dies to add to the easel and embellished it with some super sparkly icicles made with the NEW Slime/Icicles CutUps die.

It's time for me to send you on your way . . . the next stop on the hop is Wendy and she has a fabulous project for you!!

Thanks for spending time with us this week - can't wait to see what you all create with your new TCP stamps, dies and cut files!
