{The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek} Spotlight on CutUps


We've reached the last day of The Cat's Pajamas sneak peeks.  The Pajama Party is tonight (Monday) and right after that the party the new stamps and dies will be available for purchase. See more information at the bottom of the post. 

Today we are spotlighting the CutUps dies in this release even though you may have seen them in projects throughout the week of sneak peeks. This release contains new Poinsettias, Stitched Bow, Grapevine Wreath and Leaves (a free set with a $65 purchase). 


For my first card, I cut the Grapevine Wreath from mirrored gold cardstock and then several times from plain white cardstock. I stacked them all together and then attached to the patterned paper background. I cut the Poinsettias from the same mirrored gold cardstock and white shimmery cardstock from my stash and the Leaves (free with $65 purchase) were cut from silver metallic paper and then attached to the wreath. I added a gold mirrored strip of cardstock to the patterned paper and stamped the sentiment from the Your Gift below it.

For the second card I started out by creating a tag from kraft cardstock using two dies from the Toppers CutUps and then stamped the sentiment from the Wreath Kit toward the bottom using Wet Cement ink. I cut the wreath three times from white cardstock using the Grapevine Wreath die stacking and gluing them together. After threading fibers through the tag hole, it was then attached offsetting on the tag and then trimmed on the edge. The leaves also from the Wreath Kit were stamped with Orange Fizz, Pale Tomato and Catkin inks and then cut out with the matching Leaves CutUps. The decorated tag was attached to a textured cardstock panel and then finished with a trio of pearls.
