{The Cat's Pajamas} TCP Tuesday Anything Goes Challenge

It's TCP Tuesday challenge time at The Cat's Pajamas and we have an "Anything Goes" challenge for this two week rotation. 


We will shortly have some new next door neighbors moving in next door so I wanted to have a card ready to welcome them to the neighborhood. I started out by using the Basic PopUp CutUps to cut the inside of the card. In keeping with the new home theme, I decorated the front of the card using a paint chip strip that I cut into two pieces in order to fit on the 4/25 square card base and then cut out the house number from crimped cardstock using the Numbers Plate, attaching to the paint chip squares. I placed a gold keyhole on dimensional dots in the center cut with the Key to My Heart CutUps.


For the inside, I stamped the house from the Home for All Seasons set onto gray cardstock, cut out with the matching Village CutUps, then attached it to the back "ledge ". The frontage was cut from patterned paper using a combination of two dies from the Holiday Toppers CutUps. I added the sentiment from the Home for All Seasons set onto a label cut with a die from the Fancy Flip set. Another sentiment from the And Baby Makes Three set was stamped directly onto the card base.

Products: The Cat's Pajamas stamps and CutUps, Fancy Pants dp, Recollections mirrored gold cs, MFT cs and ink,
