TCP Sneak Peeks START NOW!…

Posted by Jen | The Cat's Pajamas, cards, challenges | Tuesday, March 22, 2011

The Cat’s Pajamas is gearing up for one {if not THE} BEST release yet, and I think that you just might agree! Today we are kicking off a week long party of sneak peeks with this week’s TCP Tuesday Challenge. This week I am your Hipster Hostess with the Mostess and I am bringing you a fun INSPIRATION CHALLENGE

How’s that for something spring-y and sweet!?! That’s just what I took away from the pics as my inspiration.

Today the Cat Pack is showing off the upcoming set, WHAT A BLAST featuring the beloved PJ Bear and the great new CutUps dies that will be released March 29! Whatcha think?…

I used three of the four new die sets that are coming out on this card, too!

Easy Rosette, paired with the {small} Pinwheel CutUps dies…

The Easy Rosette is just that…EASY! To create the finished rosette you cut the rosette die twice and cut each once to center.You then fold along score lines and attach together to create full circle. So much easier than traditional rosette making…I cross my heart! Click HERE to see the YouTube how-to video!

    Jen - I love your card. And that Rosette die is to “die” for. I must have it. I tried making a rosette with the strip of paper last week, and it kept popping up and coming apart. This one won’t … I need it, I want it! Thanks for the inspiration and the link to the video!

    Jen, this is just so cute! I’d want to just sit it on my stamp table and never send it to anybody. What a happy, happy card!

    Wow, it looks amazing, don’t think I’ll attempt it though, looks very time consuming and fiddly…I’ll just druel over yours :)

    Jen- this card does have it all! That rosette ROCKS! Can’t wait to get my hands on these new dies!! Love how you used those little heart dies as embellies under the sentiment!
