TCP Tuesday is Back!!

***This is my second post for today. Please scroll down for my Sweet November for All That Scraps project.***

After a long hiatus, TCP Tuesday is back. Only, we've changed it up a bit and the details are at the bottom of this post - along with a special surprise!

To kick things off we have a supply challenge for you. We are challenging you to bring out your existing The Cat's Pajamas stamps and dies and use them in a new and creative way. For example, if you primarily use your stamps for cards, how about changing it up a bit to use them on a home decor piece or a scrapbook page? Or, if you have a TCP stamp set or die that has not been used before pull it out and use it! Or use a stamp set in a way in which it was not originally intended which is what I did with my card.

I had one stamp set from the last release that I didn't get a chance to use during the preview week which was The New Nice set. Although the sentiments were all Christmas related, I didn't let that stop me from making a birthday card instead. I colored the gifts in a variety of happy colors and then cut out the image, attaching it to the embossed circle. I then went in search of another set that had a birthday sentiment. I found one from the Birthday Bunny set and it was stamped onto one of the pieces from the Circus Panels CutUps. The sawtooth border was cut with the Big Pinking Border CutUps.
