In my opinion, one of the most beautiful color combos is the rainbow spectrum. There is something so joyful about it. The colors always seem so hopeful. Everything about the rainbow color combination is true about this card by June Swart.

She creates a beautifully colored background and uses the Space Cadet stamp set to create this bold card. It makes a strong statement and an equally strong card. But, it is still  hopeful and joyful. This is one to case for sure.

Now, take a look at these other pretties that were entered this month.

Cindy Major adds pleating to her card and it works beautifully with the Life’s a Beach bunny.

 

Here’s a stunning card by Indy that I am sure to case. She uses the same bunny from Life’s a Beach but she makes the umbrella a shaker card. Brilliant

And, last but not least, this crazy cute card by Julie Elak. It’s a simple card, beautifully colored. Check out the hint of pink on the bunny’s ears.

Now, it’s your turn. Enter the TCP Tuesday Challenges and you could be Swanky Stamper!

Each month, I am constantly awed and amazed by the beauty of the cards and projects that are entered in our challenges. And, this month was no different. It was hard to choose, but this month Tricia Traxler entered twice and both of her cards were stunning. For this soft and pretty card she used the Simple Blooms stamp set. Embossing the stamps in clear embossing powder and sponging color over the flowers creates a jaw dropper of a card.

Here’s the second of Tricia’s cards using Rise & Shine (out of stock). It’s a beauty. She paper pieced the umbrella and colored it to give dimension.

How about this shaker card by Indy? It has so much sparkle and I am in love with the Icing die all dressed up in silver.

This card by Maye uses one of our retired stamp sets, but it’s a goody! She even makes one of the stamps create a “forest” of hearts.

And lastly, this piece of assemblage art by Milka. It doesn’t have any Cat’s Pajamas stamps, but I don’t mind. This is a wonderfully layered shadow box full of treasures.

 

We had so many GREAT entries last month for our TCP Tuesday Challenges. But, I could only pick just one.

It’s February, and the month for LOVE! What better card to choose than one that celebrates the month. And, in so grand a fashion. This card by Brenda Nakandakari is bling at its finest. She glittered up the wings of the bunny and dotted sequins here and there for a bit of shine. Then, layered up the Heart Trio and tucked it behind the Cupid Bunny for even more sparkle. Bling on Valentine’s Day or any day? Yes, please!

Here are some other cards that deserve attention. And, a lot of it, too.

Sharon Poleski wowed me with this wonderfully whimsical card. Beautifully colored, this card using Take Off just makes me smile.

And my smile just got bigger and bigger with this sweet card from Linsey Rickett. Love the paper pieced sock monkey and the additional color that she added to the sentiment.

Vicki Garrett deserves a BIG shout out for her Snow Days card. She put the Snowflake Lace Paper die behind and used several of the snowflakes for embellies. Her coloring is Awesome!

The last card is by Joyce Casaldi! The set she used is Besties and the her card just screams SPRING! What a beautiful way to welcome it.

I finally got the last order out in the mail from the sale and I realized that I hadn’t announced the Swanky Stamper for December. I apologize for that, but the winner is worth waiting for.

If there is one thing I love, it’s fun and clever card. Like this beauty by Yvonne B. The TCP Tuesday Challenge was to use Kraft, Black and Red in your card. She uses one of our older sets, Candyland Christmas for this card. And, the sledding penguins certainly fit the Challenge. Yvonne added a bit of mirror paper for the glitz and added splashes of white for the glam.  The Holiday Topper  add texture. Just lovely.

We had so many beautiful cards, I thought that I’d share some with you. This is a simple card from Brenda Nakandakari. Simply wonderful. Stitched paper panels help frame a pretty tag that she stamped using Big, Fat Holiday Greetings.

This sparkly card by Jennik is just wonderful with it’s layers of shining snowflakes and a Penguin that flies in to say “Hello”

Andrea C. was certainly busy stamping up these sweet cards. Anyone would love to get any one of these, methinks. The Slime/Icicle CutUps adds some sparkly goodness!

December marks a break from the TCP Tuesday Challenges. We know that December is a time for family and creating. And, our stamps and dies and Cutables are Puuurfect for creating. So, add your TCP creation to the Winter Blog Hop Inlinkz button on right. On December 26, we’ll randomly choose a winner of a $50 Gift Certificate.

 

Linsey — Swanky Stamper for May

The Challenge was a Sketch Challenge and it was a fun one. And, this card by Linsey captured the fun with its wonderful embellishments and colors. Add bunny from the Rise and Shine Stamp set carrying a pretty paper piece umbrella and this card is a stunner. I don’t know about you, but I can’t stop looking at it. It has so much detail that I discover something new each time I look at it. Just too cute!

And, there was lots of cuteness in April.

Indy stamped up her Take Off stamp set and took off.  Love the polka dotted bunny and the little puffs of smoke.

Christine Okken uses the same sketch and Rise and Shine, as Linsey did, but changed out the sentiment and used one from the Hang in There, Baby set

Kyra Sanders is a star with this tag slider card using the Slider CutUps and The Puck Stops Here. This card is one I will definitely case.
