TCP Tuesday 230 And the Weekly Winner

Last Week's TCP Tuesday challenge was a delightful Sketch Challenge. Brought to you by none other than the fabulous Amy Sheffer. Amy is known for her wonderful scrappy designs and I love to see what she does with our stamps and dies each week.  This challenge she works her magic with this terrific sketch. Hop on over to Amy's blog and see what she did. Then come right back and check out the other Cat Packers.

Amy Rohl is missing her gal something fierce and she stamps out a super cute card that says she's missing "Ewe".

Julie's card is just bewitching. I've always loved Purple and Black as colors for Halloween. I just think it's so modern!

I don't know how Nancy does it, but she always is ahead in her stamping. Like this wonderfully funny card with Sprinkle.

Then Lori, stamps up a little magic herself. She uses orange and orange and more orange. Sounds like a lot of orange, but in Lori's hands it's just right.

Now hop on over to Jen's Blog. She is the Hostess with the Mostest for this week and she wants you to use this beautiful Fall Inspired Collage as your inspiration.

I want to see your card! Just add your entry to the inlinkz button below and join the rest of the peeps that played along with this challenge and you could win some Cat's Cash.

TCP 229 and the Weekly Winner

Sorry for the delay in posting up. My father called me suddenly to get him to the doctor. And when your 90+ year old father calls. You go. Thankfully, after blood work and an ultrasound, he was diagnosed with gout. He had a bout with skin cancer in that same leg, so we were a bit worried. Gout is treatable, but you never want to see anyone, let alone someone you love in pain.

So on to the challenge.

Last week's TCP Tuesday Challenge was a Stamp Challenge Hosted by Hostess with the Mostess, Susan her challenge? She was challenging you to be Partial to Penguins

PARTIAL TO PENGUINS!

So the challenge is to use any "Penguin" stamp from The Cat's Pajamas.  Combine your stamp choice with the

TICKET OR RIBBON SLIDE CUTUPS DIES

For those of you who played in last week's TCP Tuesday Stamp Challenge, here is the place to put your cards.

Want to see what the rest of the Cat Pack did?

Susan rocks it out with her playful birthday card. Musical penguins? Why not serenade the birthday girl or guy with a little penguin love!

Nancy uses one of my all time favorite sets for her super fun card. She proves again, what a master she is when it comes to mixing paper.

Then, Amy's sweet card is so whimsical. Great use of just a big image or two sometimes to get that "Wow".

Julie's card is a jaw dropper. She brings out the kraft paper and designs a card that is fresh looking and fun!

Lori stamps out a card that fun and oh so playful. Wish it was my birthday.

Now I want to see your card! Just add your entry to the inlinkz button below and join the rest of the peeps that played along with this challenge and you could win some Cat's Cash.

TCP Tuesday 224 and the Weekly Winner

Thank you for your patience, everyone. Blogger was not cooperating. But, lucky for me, I have several computer whizzes on The Cat Pack who helped me work around my issues.

For those of you who played in last week's TCP Tuesday Stamp Challenge, here is the place to put your cards. Susan was our Hostess with the Mostess and her challenge.....? Water!

Susan says:

I take care of the stamp/CutUps challenge and this week, the theme is:

Water, Water Everywhere!

Use any TCP stamp that implies water--whether liquid or frozen. (Sailing bunny, Puddle girl, Fun in the Sun, etc., even winter images/snow.) This should be super easy because there are so many! Combine your stamp choice with one of these CutUps dies:Wave Border or Snowflake

First, head on over to Susan's Blog. She has THE most darling gift bag/box for Christmas! Yes, I said Christmas! And it's just so sparkley sweeet. Take a peek.

Nancy always mixes and matches the paper on her cards to perfection! And this sweet one is no exception! Her waves really look like they are moving!

Amy's scrappy card is perfection! I don't know how she does it, but she always knows when to stop adding. All her cards are just right.

Jen's Winter card is as classic and original as Jen herself. And a little fun, of course.

Julie missed Lori's Color challenge, but decided to combine it with Susan's Water challenge with wonderful results. I love this image and her paper piecing. Is it just me that finds paper piecing so peaceful?

Lori, used the same little girl in her card, but the look is totally different. Lori has me panting with her coloring!

And Jenny's bold and happy card is just the perfect end to this challenge with her striking paper choices.

Did I say end? Actually, not the end. Just add your entry to the inlinkz button below and join the rest of the peeps that played along with this challenge and you could win some Cat's Cash.

Then, head on back on over to Amy's blog. She is challenging you use a sketch! It's the one that she chose for last week's water challenge. Work on it this week and post it on this blog on Monday for another chance to win some Cat's Cash.

TCP Tuesday 217 and the Weekly Winner

Have you been playing along with our TCP Tuesday Technique Challenge this week? You have noticed that I am posting a bit later in the week to allow you to play along with us. In the Summertime the time just flys and there never seems to be enough time in the day.

Julie is our Hostess with the Mostess and she has a great Techinque Challenge that will have you made in the shade. She wants you to make a Sunglasses shaped card this week. And, she's even providing you with the template. Just go to our Forum on the Splitcoaststampers website and download the free template to make your card.

Amy went Nerdy meets secret agent in her card this week. I LOVE it. As a glasses wearer I can relate to the tape on the bridge. I think that has happened to all of us sometime in our life.

And our other Amy made sunglasses for her card. I love the die cuts in this card used as reflections in the glasses, just perfect.

Jen is hosting a swanky party for her beautiful daughter, Ellie, and these glasses are just perfect for her theme, using pink polka dots for the frames.

And Lori, rocks my world with a bit of fun from those rockin' penguins. She has the beat!

Nancy's bright and happy card is really perfect for this time of year. Especially where I am. One day it's sunny. The next rainy. Weird, I know. But, Nancy's card is anything but.

Susan's got hearts in her eyes with her card. Just a couple of die cuts make her card sassy. Who loves it? Me, that's who.

TCP Tuesday 214

Have you played along with the rest of the Cat Pack for this week's TCP Tuesday Challenge?
Susan is our Hostess for the Mostess this week. And her challenge will blow you away! Here it is

Use any stamp image that could be "taken by the wind" or that you'd blow on...(which could be candles). Could also be the balloons from Catch My Drift, Field of Pinwheels, What a Blast, or even A Cuppa or Blow, etc. Because of not many people being able to play because they never have the required die, this time there will be a choice of 2 because I'm nice. Let's use either the

Cloud Border or Pinwheel Die

so please include it on your card or project along with your stamp
for this challenge.

That's the Challenge!

Want some ideas? How about Nancy's darling take, using the Pinwheel Die placed perfectly on her card.

Or Lori's sweet card. She used the Cloud Border in felt, and tucked it behind her main image.

Want an original idea for teacher's gifts? Then Amy is your gal. Check out her amazing and creative gift tins.

And I am in love with Julie's card. She uses fun and unexpected papers for her card. Just delightful!

Jenny just blows me away with her creations. They could be room decor, or favors, or table settings. SOOOoo cute.

Or Jen's card. So soft and pretty. I think I am in love.

Are you inspired, yet? Then stamp something up. And then add it to the Inlinkz gallery below. You could win a gift voucher to our website!

TCP Tuesday 213 and the Weekly Winner

It's Challenge time again and this week our Hostess with the Mostess is Lori! She's doing the color challenge this week and it is really Summery and yummy. She is challenging you to use Lemon, Orange, and Berry. Sounds like a Smoothie, no?

So check out Lori's card when you get the chance. It is just as sweet as Lori.

Then head over to Jen's blog and see a total modern twist on the postoid. Years ago postoids were all the rage on cards and on assemblage art. This card by Jen really shows why. And could start the craze again.

Julie creates another fun and pretty card. I really love her use of embellishments in this and how she combined the Anywhere Ribbon Slide with the Circus Border CutUps. Love the look.

Susan is asking you to create something Eastery! Use any stamp(s) from The Cat's Pajamas that are Easter related, ALONG WITH one of these CutUps dies: Cloud Border, Grass or Easter Basket CutUps Dies.

If you have a chance drop on by Susan's blog and check out her card to see the PERFECT example of what she is talking about.

Then go over to Amy's blog and see the perfect tag for that Easter Basket.

Pretty, soft colors are the name of the game in Jen's card.

And, Lori's card just plain cracks me up.

Don't forget, to be eligible for this week's challenge you must use The Cat's Pajamas stamps and dies.

Did you play in last week's TCP Color Challenge?

Take a look at Amy's chic and simple cards. Yes, she's giving you a twofer. They really would work with any colors and the graphic designer in me is just panting over these.

How about Leigh's super tweet card? (Pun intended) Makes me feel all warm and fuzzielike.

Or Amy's wonderful card. I really can't describe how wonderful it is, so you better just take a look yourself, and you'll see what I mean.

Julie's card is almost shabby chic with her choice of papers.

TCP 201 and the Weekly Winner

Today's TCP Tuesday Challenge is an Inspiration Challenge. And Jen is the Hostess with the Mostest!

Jen is raring to go when it comes to Spring, and she's giving us this wonderful Inspiration Collage to get us in the right frame of mind. Terrific lime, yellow, and aqua chevrons to be exact. I don't know about you, but this reminds me of that Fruit Striped gum that used to be around when I was a kid. Not sure if it's still around, but I remember that I loved chewing that gum and it mad me so happy for the minute or so that it had flavor.

Want to try your hand at it? Here's even more inspiration.

Jen says Spring without using one flower in her wonderful shadowbox.

No one says Happy Birthday quite like Susan. She masked off a Swanky Poochie for a visit with a little birthday cake. Yummy!

Or how about a Sweet St. Paddy's Day card by Amy?

For more inspiration check the Cat Packers throughout the week!

And don't forget to check in tomorrow to see who helped us celebrate our 200th TCP Tuesday Challenge by winning our next NEW release.

TCPTues 198 & Winning!

It's TCP Tuesday and Lori is the Hostess with the Mostess for this week's TCP Tuesday Color Challenge. And Lori is challenging you to use Mossy Green, Soft Pink and Aqua in your card or project.

Don't you just love these colors? So soft and purdy. The Cat Pack has been working with these colors and I can tell you, their projects are pretty darn awesome.

Like Susan's take on this combo. And Susan's been a busy, busy gal. She's posting up LOTS of the past challenges from this month. And you can, too! If you miss posting your challenge by the deadline one week you are still eligible for the big prize of Swanky Stamper even if you post late.

I'm not sure what happened to my post last week after I announced the winners of the Blop Hop—it seems to have just disappeared, so I'll just tell you that Julie's ABC Challenge was awesome. And The Cat Pack pulled out all the stops to inspire you.

Take a look at Amy's sweet tag for Carole's darlin' son, Carter.

Nancy did a sweeeeet tag, too. And I can totally see it decorating some lucky bunny's basket.

The other Amy (sorry Amy) created a wonderful Get Well gift that would lift anyone's spirits.

And Lori created an AWESOME mobile that really must be seen to be believed.

Blog Hop, TCP Tuesday, Weekly Winner, Whew!

Hi all! It's release day and I'm so excited about our Winter Collection, I am just bursting. If you've been following The Cat Pack and me during Sneaky Peek Week you know that TODAY is the first day that you can buy any of the goodies that we previewed.

And, as our tradition, we are mixing in our TCP Tuesday Challenge with a fantab-U-lous blog hop!

Julie, the Hostess with the Mostess, kicks off today's events with a wonderful Technique/Supply challenge. Her challenge is to create SHINY Embellishments. If you, come here from Nancy's blog, you have reached the end of your journey. If not, start at Julie's blog and visit each blog on the hop. I guarantee it's worth it.

Here is my card for the Blog Hop. As you know, I've been on a quest to make Holiday cards that I can actually mail without too much fuss or extra postage. So I've been restricting myself to light embellies and using ribbons and bows that don't bulk up the card.

I used our Snowflake Lace Paper CutUps (say that 10 times fast). I love this die because, not only does it cut a pretty doily type shape, but it cuts a slew of snowflakes that I can use for embellies. I cut two of these beauties from silver paper, shiny side facing the cutting mat to get a textured look, and used the the largest clear circle from Jody's Shaker Set as a base. Then it was just a matter of sticking the snowflakes on the adhesive.

I stamped "Joy" from J*lly H*liday" and ran it through an embossing folder. After I put the card together I pleated a little of our new "Tinsel" seam binding and added that, and called it a day. Weighing in at under one ounce, I couldn't be happier.

And I want to make you happy, too. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you all are probably tapped out and could use a little help getting the goodies we've been showing all week, right?

So as The Cat's Pajamas gift to you, we are offering you 15% off everything in the store, INCLUDING the already discounted KittyKat Pack and Poochie Pack. Just enter HAPPY15 in the promo code box when you check out. But, you better hurry, the offer ends on November 30, and it's our last "sale" of the year.

TCP Tuesday 182, and the Weekly Winner!

It's TCP Tuesday and Julie is the Hostess with the Mostess for this week's TCP Tuesday Supply Challenge.

This week Julie is challenging you to use Acetate in your card or project.

"Huh?" You say? That plastic stuff? Yuppers. Acetate is just like paper, only clear. "DUH" you say? That means that anything you can do with paper, you can do with acetate, and more.

Check out Julie's card. She uses acetate in her shaker card so that you can really see all the glitz shimmer of the glitter. I love that she stamped on it, too. Take a peek.

Amy uses acetate as a base for her card. It's so classy and oh so special.

What can you do with acetate?
