TCP Tuesday 165 and New Release Blog Hop

Woohoo, today is release day for The Cat's Pajamas! All eight of the fabulous new stamp sets and four new Cutups dies are available now from The Cat's Pajamas shop. 

It's been a fun Swanky Stamper week. I've really enjoyed working with a great group of designers. This may be my last day as a Swanky Stamper but it certainly won't be my last TCP project. I've had so much fun with this selection of stamps and CutUps and I want to thank Alma for including me.


Since it is release day that also means a blog hop. I hope you arrived here from Amy's blog where I am sure she had something beautiful and creative for you to see. If not, head on over to Leigh's blog to start at the beginning. Leigh is this week's TCP Tuesday challenge hostess which is one of her fabulous sketches.

I decided to break out the Up, Up and Away set again. I stamped the image onto Copics X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I added some paper piecing for the kite portion and then cut the entire piece out. It seemed rather natural to use the My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Fly a Kite 6x6 pad and I combined it with a sheet from Echo Park's Summer Days pad for one of the layers. I placed a dimensional dot underneath the kite portion as well as the bow at the tail end to give it a sense of movement. Some bling, buttons and ribbon and it was done.
