April New Release and Blog Hop - The Cat's Pajamas Stamps

Release day and blog hop is here for The Cat's Pajamas Stamps and there are so many fun sets and Cut Ups for you to add to your collection.  I hope you all have had some time to be a little creative and get lost in your creativity.  If you arrived here from the awesome Wendy's blog, you are in the right place! If not, start here.

Along with this fun blog hop is a new TCPTUES367 challenge! This challenge is about Sharing Hope and we could all use that.  The Kitty Cat Pack have put together an awesome hop and some beautiful hope creations.  

For the hop, I made a birthday tag using the new release set of Messy Birthday.  I am always using tags for gifts and it is one of my favorite things to create.  

I stamped the image an colored it in with Copics before cutting out the shape using TCP Cut Ups of Spring Tag Duo.  I then cut out a piece of patterned paper that would coordinate well and layer the back side with it.  I finished the tag with some ribbon and ready for gift giving.

For the TCPTUES367 challenge, I used the newly released set of Still Life to create this somewhat of a spotlight style card.  The sentiment of "Spring it on" speaks to telling the universe to not only bring along Spring, but whatever is thrown your way. You will overcome!! 

I first stamped the image where I wanted it on the top panel and coloring it with Copics.  I layered it on the black and blush colored cardstock.  I then used my MISTI to line up that panel to where I wanted the background and being able to pop up the layered colored panel.  I finished the card with a few rhinestones which is a little hard to see in the picture.

Thank you so much for hopping in and your next stop is the talented Melissa!
