TCP Sneaky Peeks Day 6 (Tracey's 25 Days of Holiday Tags)

It's day 6 of the sneak peeks for the Cat's Pajama's November release.  That means we are another day closer to the big November release. 



 My little holiday treat gifty is doing double time as I am also joining in on Tracey's 25 Days of Holiday Tags blog Hop. I posted another tag earlier in the week and I have another one today, as I join the Curtain Call Crew to give more tag inspiration. I'm using the new TCP stamp set Handmade Holiday. It's so sweet and will be the perfect edition to all your gift giving this year. Make sure you go to Her Blog to see more tag inspiration. 


Here is a closer look at my tag. I used the Fancy Flip Frames to make my tag and layered it up with the circle stamp from Handmade Holiday.  I attached it to my treat bag (filled with some hot cocoa and candy canes) with some silver twine and a teeny silver jingle bell. Seriously, I love making tags from just about any shape. Adding a stamped image and some pretty ribbon always makes it shine!



I used a few other TCP products for my gifty today. I created my own polka dotted stencil with the Stencil Blanks and Dots cut ups. I used it to sponge on Festive berry distress ink. The muslin drawstring bags can be found in the shop, too. There are 2 sizes.....grab a few for your holiday gift giving.

TCP Sneaky Peeks Day 5 {wonderful time of year}

We are getting closer and closer to the big release day with The Cat's Pajamas. I hope you are enjoying all the beautiful and fun things we've been sharing. Today I went really simple, yet with the details in the Double SnowFlake dies, it turned out soooo stunning, don't you think? 


The sentiment is beautiful, too. It's from the Melt My Ice. I looooove the sheep in the set, but I wanted to really show off those new snowflakes. I added some pretty clear sequins and some smaller snowflakes cut from the Snowflake Lace Paper cut up.

Curtain Call Pin Cushion Reminder

**Please Scroll Down for my TCP Sneaky Peek Card**

There is still time to join us for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!  

You have until November 25th at 8:00 AM CST to be inspired and share your project!





We have a new sponsor, STAMPlorations, for the Curtain Call Inspiration: Pin Cushion!  A randomly selected participant in the Pin Cushion Challenge will receive a $15 gift certificate to use at  STAMPlorations, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!



I used some of my favorite Lil' Inker Designs dies, the Stitched mats-rounded rectangles and Thanks Word die. I cut some pretty Fall Leaves from felt (both MFT) and topped it with a button. I went digging through my stash and found the perfect pins inspired by the photo. 


Hop on over to the Curtain Call blog to see more inspiration

TCP Sneaky Peeks Day 4 {pray for snow}

This one is for all my skiing loving friends. It's a new stamp set releasing next Tuesday from The Cat's Pajamas. It's called Pray for Snow. The Sneaky Peeks continue today with this cutie-pie stamp set. It includes this skiing penguin AND another image, an ice skating friend. Plus, a handful of fun sentiments. 


I used the Holiday Topper cut up to create the snowy hills. I love them, especially after I gave them a good coating of sparkly glitter. 



I accented the sentiment with one of my Heart Trio Cut ups. Some sequins and gold twine

TCP Sneaky Peak Day 3 {all is bright}

Sneaky Peek with the Cat's Pajamas is well under way. I'm so glad you stopped by today. There is a sweet Bun in the line up and you have already got a peek at him (he's come to life in the graphic below!). The stamp set is called All is Bright and I had some fun creating a pop up card for the first time. 
First is the outside. I used the gorgeous new Double Snowflake cut up. This die set includes 2 stunning flakes. I cut mine from silver glimmer paper. I selectively stamped part of the sentiment from All is Bright onto a layered up Fancy  Flip Frames and Fancy Flip  cut ups. 


The best part of this card is on the inside. Alma has created the coolest interactive die that is super easy to use. It's called Basic Pop Up.  Be sure to wat
ch the video on the TCP Blog to see how this die works. It might not look like much......but it sure packs a BIG PUNCH and gives you more that 1 option when creating pop up cards. I used two of the "ledges" to show off my Bun. 


I finished off the sentiment and used the Fancy Flip Frame again along with some smaller sparkly snowflakes cut with the  Snowflake Paper Lace cut up. This is one of my favorite TCP Cut ups! 

I thought I'd give you a side look at the pop out ledges I used for my card. You simply adhere your images to the front of the ledge.

TCP Sneaky Peek Day 2 and Catered Crop Finale

Thanks for coming back today for more TCP Sneaky Peek fun! Today I am combining my peek with the final Catered Crop challenge. If you didn't see the announcement then be sure to head over to Linda's blog for all the sad, but exciting details. Retirement has been good for her and it's time to let the Catered Crop Recipe Swap go. That's the sad part, but I'm soooo happy for Linda and all the new adventures she has been enjoying. 



My TCP Sneak Peek today was the perfect ending to my time with the Catered Crop.It always felt like home over there. The stamp set is  called Home for All Seasons. I created a fun little row of holiday houses. I used the matching new Cut Up dies, too. I loooove the embossed details included with one pass through. 


I added a sentiment to the label die from Fancy Flip Frames. I punched a hole and tied it on with some silver twine to create a  sweet little tag. In the back ground you'll see I used the Dots Cut ups to try to give a feel of snow.

TCP Sneaky Peeks Day 1 {official grinch}

It's time for the next awesome Cat's Pajamas release sneaky peeks. We have a whole week to show you what Alma has up her sleeve. LOTS of great things! You won't want to miss!

Up first is a stamp set called Official Grinch. It's full of super punny sentiments. I created a fun holiday Thank-you card. 


I pieced up the sweater and added the circle die from the Framed Up 2 cut ups to accent the sentiment. Here's a closer look.
