{The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peeks} Sketchy Santas and Joyeux Noel

Welcome back to another day of The Cat's Pajamas sneak peeks. There are 7 new stamp sets, 5 die sets, two stencils and one new holeless sequins set in this release. All the new products will be made available for purchase as revealed throughout the week with the full release on July 30 at which time there will be special discounting.

Today we are making a big switch from summer to Christmas highlighting the new Sketchy Santas stamp set and the Joyeux Noel die set for a Christmas in July which as you I hope you know is also our TCP Tuesday challenge for the month! A coincidence? I think not. 


I created two cards for today as the images are easy and quick to color which is perfect when one needs to make a lot of Christmas cards like me.



I stamped one of the santa images onto Neenah cardstock, colored with Copic Markers and added Nuvo drops for the tree ornaments. I framed the image using the previously released Square Stamp CutUps cut from patterned paper. For the card front, I stamped two of the postal images from the previously released J*lly H*liday set using new leaf and gala red ink plus the sentiment also in gala red. A small strip of paper at the bottom along with a few Nuvo drops completed a postal themed Christmas card.

Products: The Cat's Pajamas stamps and dies, Lawn Fawn and Doodlebug dp, PTI cs, Nuvo Crystal Drops, PTI, WPlus9 and Altenew ink, Copic Markers
Copics: Santa-E00, E01, W00, E81, YG01, YG03, YG23, R30, R32, R35, N1, N3; Tree-G40, G43, G46, E35; Santa Sack-G000, G00, G02



For a completely different look I used the new Ho Ho Ho die to cut from stone cardstock, then again from silver metallic cardstock for the insert pieces. I also cut a layer from plain white cardstock, running through only once so the inserts would stay in place. I glued the two layers together, added the silver inserts and used duck egg blue Nuvo drops for the smaller inserts. Using the completed diecut as a guide, I stamped a different santa from the  new Sketchy Santa set directly onto a linen cardstock piece cut with a stitched die. After coloring the santa, I attached the diecut and a few of the new Clear Holographic sequins for a clean and simple Christmas card.
