TCP March Release Blog Hop

AND...

I want to let you know, it's time for a new TCP Challenge over at The Cat's Pajamas.  Our challenge is very timely and very appropriate for the personal challenges we are having to face right now.  The theme is 'Share Hope'.  I think Nancy said it best when announcing this challenge.  Basically she said we all know someone who needs hope and encouragement.  We would love it if you make a card and share it on the blog it.  Tho not required, it would be so nice if you go the next step and literally share that hope with someone.

My card features one of the new stamp/die bundles, 'Still Life' and 'Spring It On', as well as one of my favorite sets, 'Watercolor Basics' -

The swooshes from watercolor basics were stamped on a watercolor paper panel as were the flower, leaf and vase.  The panel was adhered to a card base.  The sentiment was stamped on a piece of vellum.  The flower, leaf and vase were die-cut and the flower and leaf were colored with watercolors.  All the elements were placed and adhered to the card panel as shown above.  I think the clear holographic holeless sequins add just the right amount of bling to this card which I hope will bring a smile to my friends face.

Also today were are celebrating the April release with a blog hop.  Hopefully you have come here from Melissa's blog.  I just love the new set 'Super'!  I think these bears are just darling.  This card also features 'Boom CutUps', 'Comic Balloons CutUps', 'Cloud Border CutUps' and  the 'Sun Cutable'.

This card was started with a red card base layered with a navy panel.  The next white panel was stenciled with a stenciled made using the Sun Cutable.  The Boom and Comic Balloons CutUps and as well as the Cloud border die were die-cut and layered as shown above.  The cutie bear from 'Super' was stamped, heat embossed.  The sentiment was stamped on coordinating paper.  The bear was colored with distress inks and fussy cut.  He was popped up as shown above as were the sentiment.

I also have another card put together using 'Liners CutUps' and 'Layer Cake Bundle' -

It started with a white card base.  The cake, candles and cake plate were stamped and die-cut.  The Liners CutUps were cut from 2 colors of pink and in striped background paper.  The cake and liners were placed as shown above.  Pink Holographic Holeless sequins were places randomly and that's all it took!

Here's a quick review of the entire release -

And a reminder, the bundles are available at a special price and the Kitty Kat Pack and the Poochie Pack are now available with special pricing!  Happy shopping!

Now it's time for me to send you over to the sweet Beata's blog.  I want to thank you for joining us this week.  Stay well, stay strong, we are all in this together!

Aloha,
