The Cat's Pajamas New Release Blog Hop!

Yippee!!! The Cat's Pajamas' new release day is finally here and we're celebrating with a blog hop!!!

You should have arrived here from Brenda's blog. I am soooo excited to share some fun cards I made featuring some amazing new goodies from the March TCP release!

First up is a shaker card I made featuring the Year of the Pig stamp set and Spring Mix sequins. I've been dreaming of summer so it was so fun having this cute little piggie float in a pool of pink flowers.

To make this card I cut a large rectangle (approx. 1" wide) down the middle of a piece of light blue cardstock (cut to 3.75"x5"). I glued a piece of acetate behind the blue cardstock, and then put foam tape all around the back of the blue cardstock. I sprinkled a bunch of the new Spring Mix sequins onto the middle of my white A2 card base so they would appear through the rectangle acetate window, and then put my blue cardstock with the acetate window on top. Next, I stamped and colored the floating pig from the Year of the Pig stamp set, cut it out, and glued it to the middle of my acetate window. For a final touch, I stamped hello along the sides of the "pool" and glued pink sequin flowers from the Spring Mix next to the little piggie.

My second card features the Round Flower Duo CutUp die and this cute watering fox from the For Fox Sake stamp set.

I cut out the flower background with the Round Flower Duo die, glued it onto a piece of blue cardstock, and glued that onto a pink A2 card base. I stamped and colored the watering fox, cut it out, glued it on top of the Round Flower, and stamped the "Love Grows Here" sentiment from the For Fox Sake stamp set on the card.

My last card features the new TCP Mailbox Die and another adorable critter from the For Fox Sake stamp set. I loved coloring this cute little guy dropping by to mail some handmade love!

To make this card, I glued white cardstock (3.75"x5") onto light blue cardstock (4"x5.25"), and glued that onto a white A2 card base. I stamped the cute fox holding the balloon, clouds, and sentiment from the For Fox Sake stamp set, and colored the images. I used the Mailbox Die to cut out the mailbox from blue and red cardstock and glued that to the bottom corner of my card.
