TCP Tuesday 200!

We are celebrating TCP Tuesday 200 like it's St. Patty's Day, don't ya know, with a FREE giveaway and a free download of every TCP Tuesday Sketch Challenge to date, so let's hear a big ol' woot-woot for The Cat's Pajamas! The FREE giveaway is nothing less than the ENTIRE April collection of stamps and CutUps dies that will be making their appearance in a few short weeks, and they are fabulous! Comment on any of The Cat Packers blog posts that feature our 200th TCP Tuesday Sketch Challenge by Tuesday, March 13 and you could WIN our complete NEW release! Is that a like finding the pot o' gold, or what folks?!

Speaking of the iconic pot-of-gold, I used the upcoming St. Patty's Day as inspiration for my sketch challenge card to wish you all a bit of good luck on your journey to win the FREE giveaway honoring TCP Tuesday 200! The gold embossed sentiment is from one of my all-time favorite TCP stamp sets, Simply Said, and the shamrock was fashioned using the CutUps Heart Trio die. The shamrock and orange squares are layered on a Big Scallop die cut piece of kraft card stock and tied up nicely with Orange Divine Twine.

 

Here's a closeup look at the shamrock.

Top o' the morning, Mate!

It's a bit hard to see my (computer generated) sentiment beneath the orange bow, but it's there, wishing you a good day, Mate! I printed the sentiment on Simply Chartreuse card stock (PTI) before die cutting it with my CutUps Big Scallop die from The Cat's Pajamas. I just can't make anything 'TCP' these days without my Big Scallop die! You might spy another CutUps die in the mix, the Wave die, holding up our adorable TCP whale from the A Whale of a Time set with a fun St. Paddy's Day hat (A Beary Good Year) perched atop his sweet little (big) head! I always find it a fun challenge to look outside the box for ways to stretch my existing stamp sets to fit 'other' holidays.

Oh, BTW...my card today is for this week's TCP Tuesday Challenge #148: Let's Get Lucky, hosted by our dear Susan Liles. Please check out Sus's blog for all the swanky details, hop over to Alma's blog to link your card, and don't forget SCS where you can hang with the TCP gang in our member company forum and/or upload your card using keyword: TCPTUES148.

Hope y'all 'Get Lucky' this week...just sayin'!
