TCP Tuesday-Peace, Joy, & Penguins

It's time for a new The Cat's Pajama's challenge, and the November TCP Tuesday Challenge is  to make one card. Then, with the supplies and papers on your desk, make two more cards. 


Here is the set of cards I made using only supplies that were on my desk...I tend to clean between projects, but I did the best with what I had!!


I used the SUPER cute new Peace, Joy, & Penguins stamp set.


My cardstock colors are Bubblegum, Berrylicious, Gumpdrop Green, Smooth White, and Electric Red. I paired these with the Merry Little Christmas paper pad from MME. 

For embellishments, I used Bubblegum, Gumdrop Green, and Berrylicious buttons from MFT. My twine is hemp cord from MFT, and some red twine. I also used silver brads from Michael's, and spiral clips from Creative Express. Either Berrylicious or Bubblegum ribbon was used on my card's as well. It's a good thing I get out all the matching colors before I start making a card, that gave me lots of embellishment options.





Hop on over to the TCP Blog for all the details about this month's challenge. I know you'll have fun with it AND you'll have a chance at a fabby prize!
So, here's the scoop. 
  1. The First Tuesday of the Month Alma will post a challenge on her blog. The challenge will also be posted on our Splitcoaststampers forum and on our Facebook page

  4. Cards and projects must have at least one Cat's Pajamas Stamp or CutUps die in the project.
  5. On the First Monday of the Month a winner will be chosen from the previous challenge and crowned Swanky Stamper. 
  6. The Swanky Stamper will not only be acknowledged as the Swankiest Stamper for that month, but will also receive some of the stamps from our next release and get to play along with us at our Pajamas Party and Blog Hop. AND... They'll even get a special spot in the Gallery highlighting the project that won them the gig AND as snazzy badge to display on their blog.

C4C210 It's Not All Black and White...

This week's challenge at the Crazy 4 Challenges blog is to make a card using black, white, and one more color. I decided to go clean and simple, and since I was just NOT ready to let go of Halloween, I used a Halloween color scheme, but didn't end up making a Halloween card...I'm a connumdrum. I also did this for the TSG weekly challenge, to use leaves...hey, leaf dies count!!

So, for my card, I used the GORGEOUS Henna Swirls set from There She Goes, and paired it with a sentiment from the new Happy Fall set from There She Goes. My flowers were stamped on Smooth White cardstock, and then colored with Copics. I used some MME Happy Haunting paper, which I paired with Orange Fizz, and Black Licorice cardstock. My ribbon is MFT Orange Grosgrain, I used Michael's brads, and my leafy flourishes were cut from the MFT Leaf Filled Flourish Die-namics.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day. Be sure to check out the other girls playing along on the C4C blog, and then check out the There She Goes blog to play along there, too.
