The Cat's Pajamas New Release Hop!!

Well, we finally made it to the release of this Winter's stamps from The Cat's Pajamas, and now it's time to celebrate with a blog hop!!!!

All the fun started at BRENDA's blog, so if you didn't start there, head on back!! 

Now, if you are back, you should have come from our guest designer ANITA MADDEN's BLOG!!

For my card today, I have used the super cute new Bunny Snowglobe. I paired it with some fun Christmas Paper called Holly Jolly Christmas from Echo Park. I used all my normal bells and whistles, but I went WAY outside my normal and added a bunch of glitter to the snow globe...yep, you saw it here first....I turned 38 and officially lost my dang mind. 

Here is a look at the set I used(and look up there at all that sparkle....no more wine while crafting):

So, all the new sets are available for purchase, and not only that,  today starts our Winter Customer Blog Hop!!! You can check out the need to know info at the Cat's Pajamas Blog!!

Now, it's time to keep hopping! Your next stop is the wonderful blog of my fellow Cat Pack member Julie Elak!!!

TCP Winter Release Peeks-Day Three!!

Hey there friends, and fellow stampers...it's time for day THREE of our Winter Release at The Cat's Pajamas! 

Today we are showing off a gorgeous set called Holiday Style...and I think you will agree, especially after you see all my teammate's creations, that this set has SO MUCH potential!

For my card today, I paired the new set with an elegant paper pad from My Mind's Eye called Christmas.....yeah, just Christmas, but it's really elegant and lovely, I swear! I paired the new set with the new Scalloped Duo CutUps to create my peak-a-boo cut out, and then used the Season's Greetings CutUp for my sentiment. For my flourishes, buttons, and cardstock(and the green grosgrain I sorta hid), I used MFT products in Jellybean Green, Electric Red, and Black Licorice. I of course added some red ruffled ribbon and brads as the final touch.

Here is a look at the products I have used today!
