TCP Tuesday 187 Plus New Release Blog Hop

It is release day for The Cat's Pajamas! All seven of the fabulous new stamp sets and three new Cutups dies are available now from The Cat's Pajamas shop. Do you now that stamps and dies are great stocking stuffers? Even if it's a case of filling your own stocking like I sometimes have to do! I figure I'm just helping out my husband with his shopping. That's really sweet of me, dontcha think?

Since it is release day that also means a blog hop. I hope you arrived here from Jenny's blog where I am sure she had something fun and creative for you to enjoy. If not, head on over to Julie's blog to start at the beginning. Julie is this week's TCP Tuesday (TCPTUES187) challenge hostess which is to add some shiny embellishments to your project!

I was all over this challenge since I'm all about shiny and sparkly at Christmas. I stamped the brand new Merry Christmas, Honey onto Copics X-Press It cardstock and cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities with some out of the box action with the top of the tree. I colored it up with a gazillion Copic markers - ok, I really meant 30. I wanted it to be colorful enough for the older My Mind's Eye Christmas paper "Colorful Christmas". This was some of very favorite Christmas paper ever and I'm sad to say that I'm down to just snips and scraps of it at this point. I added some Glossy Accents to the Christmas baubles on the tree. Now to the sparkly embellishments. I used the Snowflake CutUps to cut a big snowflake, then applied some Ranger Stickles with my fingertip and sprinkled glitter over it. After it dried, I applied Glossy Accents all over it for a hard shine and used it as a mat for the sentiment. I then made a garland from the snowflakes left over from the Snowflake Lace Paper. Before stringing them together I sprinkled fairy dust over them in various shades (fairy dust=glitter). After attaching the garland to the card, I then added glossy accents for shine and stability.
