The Cat's Pajamas Sneaky Peek #3

                       

Welcome to day 3 of The Cat's Pajamas July release.  Tonight we are featuring 3 of the 8 die sets in this very wonderful release.  Just as a reminder, the products become available in the TCP store as they are peeked.  As of tonight you can purchase Hello Winter CutUps, Gnome CutUps and Cardinal Duo Die CutUps.  If you can wait until release day, July 28, discounts will be offered on the very popular Kitty Kat and Poochie Packs.

My first card today features the darling and very versatile Gnome CutUps.  This little guy has so much character!  You can make him tall, short, change his hat out, you can even position his hands to change things up.  Here ya go -

This card started with  stamping snowflake from Winter Style and a sentiment from Oh Holy Night with VersaMark and heat embossing with white powder.  

The background color was added with Iced Spruce distress oxide ink and the Big Beautiful Blending Brush. 

Lines were dry embossed around the panel using a scoreboard. 

The Gnomes were die cut and pieced together.  You can see that they have on different hats and one is taller that the other.  

The little wreath also from Oh Holy Night and was fussy cut for the Gnomes to hold.  

This panel was layered onto a panel of glitter paper and then placed on the card blank as shown above.  Last off, a piece of silver twine was tied into a floppy bow.

                                              

Next up is a card created with the very elegant Cardinal Duo Die CutUps.  This die doesn't need much to make a statement.

This card started by cutting the dotty circle from the center of a panel of white textured cardstock.
The sentiment from Oh Holy Night was stamped in crimson VersaFine ink.
The tree/cardinal was cut from the left over circle and from a piece of dark grey cardstock. 

The cardinal was cut from a red cardstock scrap. 

The grey positive space was positioned and glued beneath the circle cut out and the white negative sections were inlaid. 

The red cardinal was glued in place.

This finished panel was adhered to a white card blank.

3 red sequins were added as shown and a piece of red button thread was tied into a floppy bow.
