TCP April New Release Blog Hop

It's new release day at The Cat's Pajamas!   We are hosting a Blog Hop to give you another look at all the new stamps and dies that are available in the TCP store right now.

This is the first stop on the hop!   I am so excited to kick off this hop and I have 2 cards for you today.
On the first, one of the flower stamps from Asian Spring was stamped repeatedly in 3 different colors.  It is surrounded by strips of black and topped by a sentiment from a retired stamp set.

On the second card, the new Mountains die set is used as a stencil to create the strip of color.  It is topped by a glass of wine created with the Tini stamp set, which you can receive for free with a purchase of $65 or more in the TCP store.

Now it is time to hop on to the next stop on the hop, which comes with a chance to visit Deborah - she has 2 cards for you too!

My cards are also for TCP Tuesday Challenge #345 - spring.  I went with flowers on the first and warm spring colors on the second.  Play along and you could be a winner!

Here are the challenge details:

• Each month a new challenge will be posted on The Cat’s Pajamas blog and our Facebook page.

• 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.

• You are not required to use a Cat’s Pajamas stamp or die but if you have them we would love to see them.

• On the day of the next challenge the winner will be chosen from the previous challenge and will receive a Cat Cash Voucher for $50.

Have fun hopping, shopping and stamping!

This release features 3 stamp sets and 3 die sets.  First up is the stamp set Special Delivery with an artistic drawn feel that works so well with water coloring.

Now on to 2 of the new die sets.  For this one the Oval Scroll Duo was run through with a rubber mat to use as an embosser.   A water colored butterfly from the Butterfly Trio die set is laid on top.

Here is third die set, Spring Tag Duo, which is so versatile...not only can it be used for tags but it is perfect for cards too!

The fence and tree were colored up with water color markers and the outer die was used to create a frame.

How about one more project?   The Spring Duo die set was used as a tag on this one with the new Sponsored By stamp set.

A bit of paper piecing on the cups and a strip of polka dots across the bottom decorates a tag to top a bag full of k-cups.

I have 3 cards for you today, showcasing 2 of the new stamp sets and 1 of the new die sets (stop back on release day, Tuesday 2/20 to see the other new stamp and die sets in action).

Get ready for some love and lots of sweetness with the new Family Forever stamp set.  

The bear and duck are colored up with water color markers.   

Next up is more love with the Hugs & Kisses die set.  For this one I used the X and O as a stencil and inked away, then sprinkled it with water.

My final card for today uses the Big Family Words stamp set.  With the sentiment at the top, the leaf from the set was stamped repeatedly across the bottom.

The large font of this set makes each word the focus on your creations!

The new Time Out stamp set tops the front of my card.  The Clouds die was used as a stencil and then blue sponged at the top.

The Happy stamp set has sentiments for every occasion, including "New Year"!   Do you spy the clock?   That's another new die set.

The celebrating bunny is from Santa is Coming was added to one of the arches created using the Window die set.

The die set makes it easy to add pop ups.   Alma put together a video to show you how easy it is to use. TCP Youtube
