It's Sneaky Peeky Week!

I'm so excited today!  Because I won the Swanky Stamper at The Cat's Pajamas a few months ago, I received much of the New Releases at TCP!  So I get to play along and show you Sneaky Peeks of the new sets that are being released at TCP on April 24th :)  Today's set is called Commemorating You, and it has the coolest combination of images and sentiments.  And we're kicking off a new TCP Challenge #206 today too, so here's the inspiration for you:

And here's where I went with it!

I wanted to create a postage themed design and use these pretty stamps.  I created these little envelopes out of a Spellbinder's diamond shape.  Here's how I did it....

Using the second largest die in this set, cut out a diamond shape and use a Scor Buddy.  

Lining up the diamond on the longest side/point at 1 3/4 inches, score at 1 inch and 2 1/2 inches. 

Flip 90 degrees and line up the diamond point at 2 1/8.  Score at 1 inch and 3 1/4 inches. 

Using strong adhesive like ScorTape, adhere the envelope together either remaining open or sealed shut. 

Here's a last look at the finished product

You can see the cute postage, cancel stamp, fun sentiments, fancy elements and the cute chef delivering the BD Cake on the "letterhead".  I love the postal elements in the design from the twine to the fun paper that looks just like airmail stickers (old Basic Grey).  

Do you see the cute ribbon slide along the bottom?  Do you recognize it as little moustaches?  SO cute!  Just a little hint of what's to come!

I'll be back Thursday with another TCP Sneaky Peek.  Be sure to check out Alma's Blog Dancing in Pajamas to find out who else to visit for Sneak Peeks!
