{The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek} Oh Christmas Tree

Welcome back to another day of The Cat's Pajamas July Sneak Peeks. There are 5 new stamp sets and 8 new die sets in this release. Two of the die sets coordinate with two of the stamp sets.  The matching stamp/die sets will be available to purchase separately or as a bundle with special pricing. All the new products will be available for purchase as revealed throughout the week with the full release on July 28 at which time there will be additional discounting known in the TCP world as the Kitty Kat or Poochie Pack.

We are showcasing the new Oh Christmas Tree Bundle today. I knew I wanted to do three different color schemes so I cut a piece of  white card stock in half to fit my Misti and then started stamping. Once I had the panel filled with images, I cut out with the matching dies.

For the background panel I cut a circle from linen cardstock using a die from the Farm Duo CutUps, backed with black cardstock and then placed a large snowflake cut with a die from the Double Snowflake CutUps over the opening. I cut the "bowl" from patterned paper using one of the dies from the Cups Duo CutUps. After cutting out the cup (sans the duo portion), I flipped it around in the die and cut again to eliminate the handle and attached to the panel with foam dimensionals. I then assembled the images stamped with pure poppy, green parakeet and new leaf ink, attached them with a combo of glue and foam dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the new O Holy Night set at the bottom using pure poppy ink.

For my second card, I assembled images stamped with hibiscus burst, hawaiian shores and green parakeet and cut with the matching dies. They were placed on a watercolored background panel attaching with a combo of glue and foam dimensionals. I also cut a bow from patterned paper using a die from the Presents CutUps and slipped under the botanicals. The pretty sentiment from the new O Holy Night set was stamped at the bottom using hibiscus burst ink. Lastly, I added three small snowflakes cut with a die from the Five Snowflakes set, each anchored with an enamel dot.

I wanted to show you that all the name might be "Oh Christmas Tree" the images can also be used for other themes. It's a good thing when you can stretch your stamps. I stamped the three branches on white cardstock using simply chartreuse ink and the pine cone onto fine linen cardstock using rich cocoa. I first splashed some rich cocoa drops onto the textured cardstock background then stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said also in rich cocoa. After adding a small border strip at the top and bottom of the panel, I attached the pine boughs and pinecone with a combo of glue and dimensionals for a clean and simple sympathy card.
