Yay, it's Friday and 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 Warmest Wishes set today.

I stamped the bear onto Copic friendly cardstock and cut out using the new Warmest Wishes Bundle, then colored with Copic markers. Then I went to work on the background, first stenciling the clouds onto the card front using sno cone ink. Using the Mountains CutUps, I cut two layers from gray cardstock and the "ice/snow" from white textured cardstock. I layered them onto the card base using a layer of foam between the two mountain ranges. I used a die from the Framed Up set to cut from patterned paper, then stamped the sentiment onto it with pure poppy ink. The cloud was cut with one of the dies from the Stitched Clouds set and the snowflake from the Five Snowflakes set. All diecuts were attached with foam dimensionals and a few Silver Saucer Holeless Sequins.

I stamped and cut the penguin from the same bundle, then colored with Copic markers. I prepared the background panel with an embossing folder and stamped the sentiment using pure poppy ink. I attached the image using foam dimensionals to a piece cut from textured cardstock and patterned paper using the leftover diecuts from one of yesterday's projects that were cut using the Rectangular Stamp CutUps. A few enamel dots and a snowflake cut with a die from the Five Snowflakes set finished it up.

{The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek} Hello Winter, Cardinal & Gnome Dies

Welcome back for more 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. Todays sneak peeks include the new Hello Winter, Cardinal Duo and Gnome dies.

For my first card, I stamped and cut the penquin from the new Warmest Wishes set and colored with Copic markers. I then used the new Hello Winter die to cut from red cardstock for an inlaid diecut effect onto a white cardstock panel. I blended ink onto the panel to represent a frozen pond, then stamped the splashes also from the new Warmest Wishes set. I looped the fishing pole in the diecut sentiment and attached the image with dimensional foam. Lastly, I added a small patterned paper banner, enamel dots and a layered snowflake cut from red and white cardstock using the Five Snowflakes die .

For my second card, I used one of the dies from the Cardinal Duo set to cut the branches from white cardstock, then cut out the bird portion again from red cardstock and trimmed to fit. The third die from the set was used to emboss the circle onto pinefeather cardstock panel. The sentiment from the new Warmest Wishes set was white heat embossed onto the background panel and then the branches/cardinal was attached within the embossed circle. A few Holeless Clear Holographic sequins added a bit of sparkle to a masculine Christmas card.

I certainly couldn't resist using the new and adorable Gnome die! You can exchange his hat and move his hands/gloves to different spots as well as making him shorter or taller. I cut him out from various patterned paper, then cardstock for the beard, nose and shoes (one of the shoe dies also represent an oval nose). I attached the image using foam dimensionals to a piece cut from textured cardstock and patterned paper using the leftover diecuts from one of yesterday's projects that were cut using the Rectangular Stamp CutUps. I attached it to the prepared background and stamped the sentiment from the Warmest Wishes set using pure poppy ink.

{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.
