TCP Spring Challenge - Wreath Trio

The TCP TUESDAY Challenge #334 - Spring is going strong!   Have you played along yet?

  

I am sharing a trio of cards created with the newly released Spring Wreath die set.   Cherry blossoms first come to mind for this wreath, but I colored each up differently and added plums to one wreath and peaches to another.

TCP Supplies: Spring Wreath die set,  Simply Stacked Sentiments

My favorite part about this die set is that there is one full wreath die and then an individual flower and fruit as well.   I die cut 4 flowers and fruit, after coloring, a stylus was used to add a bit of dimension.  Each was then adhered to the colored wreath base. 

Join in the challenge with your own spring creation.   One participant will win a gift certificate to the TCP Store.

Here are the challenge details:

1. Every other Tuesday a new challenge will be posted on The Cat’s Pajamas blog and our Facebook page.
2. If you want to play along you just upload your design to The Cat’s Pajamas blog page using the InLinkz button by the Monday, 11:55 EDT before the next challenge.
3. You are not required to use a Cat’s Pajamas stamp or die but if you have them we would love to see them.
4. On the following TCP Tuesday, the winner will be chosen from the previous challenge and will receive a Cat Cash Voucher for $10 or $15 if a TCP product is used.

Get ready for an explosion!

This is an explosion box card that folds flat for mailing and then pops up to form a box.  

 The Butterfly box die set created the base for the box, then the rows of clouds were glued in and the characters were added on strips of acetate.

CAS Bunny Hop

This week the SCS CAS team is asking everyone to do the hop...the bunny hop!

I pulled out a PTI set that I bought last year but never got around to inking up.   

Supplies:   PTI Hippity Hoppity stamp and dies, Your Next Stamp Wild Flowers and Grass Border die, Your Next Stamp Circles with Stitching and Piercing Marks die set

Everything was stamped and die cut out of water color paper and then colored up with Zig Brush markers.  This one came together fast.

Get your week off to a CAS start and join in the fun!

Smiles,
Julie

Your Next Stamp March Blog Hop

Welcome to the Your Next Stamp March New Release Blog Hop!

We are hopping in celebration of all the new stamps, dies, paper, and gumdrops available in the YNS store right now.   

My favorite set from this release is Stacked with Fun.   It is full of animals ready to perch on presents, but these animals can be used in so many different ways.

Up first, are a couple of the animals added to the new Little Ledges dies.

YNS Supplies:  Stacked Animals stamp and die sets, Little Ledges Die set, Enchanted Gumdrops

Next, the animals are topping the new Mini Popcorn Box.

YNS Supplies:  Stacked Animals stamp and die sets, Mini Popcorn Box die, Happy Spring Paper Pad

The animals were added directly to the top of the popcorn boxes.  Each animal is held in place by sandwiching the box between the colored animal and a solid animal die cut.

Now is the time to shop!  Take advantage of the discount code below on your entire purchase.

Be sure to leave a comment and then hop on to the next stop using the full list below.   The more blogs you visit and comment on, the greater the odds of winning a YNS Store gift certificate.

Smiles,
Julie
