{The Cat's Pajamas TCP Tuesday} Vintage Holiday

TCP Tuesday for November is going strong. Remember that even though it is a monthly challenge, you can enter as many times as you want. This month we are doing a "What's On Your Desk?" challenge. Specifically, make one card and then with the supplies and papers on your desk, make two more. Yes, you read that right. Make three cards! My cards are all a bit different but that is not a requirement.

Although I made today's set for the TCP Tuesday challenge, I actually previewed them at last month's release Pajama Party at Splitcoaststampers. I used the TCP Vintage Holiday set and the Fancy Pants Merry Little Christmas paper pad for all of them cutting the images with the matching Framed Up CutUps. I used one one of the smaller images from the same set on each card, cutting out with a circle Spellbinders Nestie. They also include the same gold thread, buttons and die cuts.

For the first card I stamped the image with Versamark and then heat embossed with Black Diamonds embossing powder. I also stamped the small image from the same set with Memento Luxe Pistachio ink, heat embossed with clear embossing powder and then cut out with Spellbinders Nestabilities, I cut the star with one of the dies from 3x3 Stars CutUps which I then layered with a button tied with gold thread.

For the second card, I stamped the image with Stampin' Up Soft Sky ink and then stamped the "Dec 25" image with Memento Tuxedo Black and then cut out with Spellbinders Nestabilities, layering onto the snowflake cut with the Snowflake CutUps.

For card #3, I stamped the main image with Stampin' Up Raspberry Ripple ink. I then stamped the poinsettia image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored with Copic Markers after cutting out with Spellbinders Nestabilities. I wrapped the flourish cut with the Heart Swirl CutUps.
