TCP March Release Sneaky Peek Day One - Comment to Win

The Cat's Pajamas Sneaky Peek Week starts right now, right here!!!   Not only do you get to preview the new release, there is also a chance to win a TCP store gift certificate.  One random comment left on this post or my IG account (julie_elak) TCP peek post will be selected to win a TCP gift certificate.  

The Cat's Pajamas February release arrives in the The Cat's Pajamas Store next Tuesday.  The question is...Are you in it to win it?  

This release features 3 stamp sets and 3 die sets.  First up is the stamp set Special Delivery with an artistic drawn feel that works so well with water coloring.

Now on to 2 of the new die sets.  For this one the Oval Scroll Duo was run through with a rubber mat to use as an embosser.   A water colored butterfly from the Butterfly Trio die set is laid on top.

Here is third die set, Spring Tag Duo, which is so versatile...not only can it be used for tags but it is perfect for cards too!

The fence and tree were colored up with water color markers and the outer die was used to create a frame.

How about one more project?   The Spring Duo die set was used as a tag on this one with the new Sponsored By stamp set.

A bit of paper piecing on the cups and a strip of polka dots across the bottom decorates a tag to top a bag full of k-cups. 

Leave a comment here or on my IG posts (where I go by julie_elak)to be entered in the draw to win a $10.00 TCP store  Cat Cash Voucher.  If you leave a comment on both then that it twice the odds that you may win!  The winner will be announced on the TCP blog tomorrow.

Set a reminder for next Tuesday, 3/20, when the release hits the TCP store and the team will be back with a new release blog hop and more inspiration!

Smiles,

Julie

The Cat's Pajamas February release arrives in the The Cat's Pajamas Store next Tuesday.  Today is the first day of Sneaky Peek Week leading up to the release.  The question is...Are you in it to win it?  

Wouldn't you love the chance to win a gift certificate to The Cat's Pajamas Store?!  One random comment left on this post or my IG account (julie_elak) TCP peek post will be selected to win a TCP gift certificate.  

This release has the sweetest stamp set, a snarky stamp set and a great word set that you will be reaching for time and time again.  Add in a few new die sets and you will be in love!

I have 3 cards for you today, showcasing 2 of the new stamp sets and 1 of the new die sets (stop back on release day, Tuesday 2/20 to see the other new stamp and die sets in action).

Get ready for some love and lots of sweetness with the new Family Forever stamp set.  

The bear and duck are colored up with water color markers.   

Next up is more love with the Hugs & Kisses die set.  For this one I used the X and O as a stencil and inked away, then sprinkled it with water.

My final card for today uses the Big Family Words stamp set.  With the sentiment at the top, the leaf from the set was stamped repeatedly across the bottom.

The large font of this set makes each word the focus on your creations!

The large font of this set makes a statement easily!
