On the Third Day of Christmas...{The Cat's Pajamas Sneaky Peek}

First of all, I want to wish all my fellow Americans a very Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you have a day filled with blessings.


Welcome to another day of TCP Sneak Peeks! Today the Cat Pack is previewing the new Best Fishes set. I am combining today's project with my 12 Days of Christmas series.

12 Days of Christmas: My step-granddaughters in North Carolina at age 8 and 10 are right on the cusp of no longer believing in Santa Claus. Twelve days of small packages arriving in the mail will {I hope} help keep Christmas a magical time for just a little longer. It's purely for fun and not really about the gifts.

I giggled when I first saw the Best Fishes set because I had already bought some Swedish Fish for one of my 12 Days of Christmas gifts as they are a family favorite. So the 3rd Day of Christmas projects are two bag toppers for the candy. Both images were colored colored with Copics and I gave each of them a jaunty paper pieced scarf.
For my first bag topper I folded over a piece from the Authentique Wonder pad, adding a border at the bottom using the Inside Pinking CutUps. I attached the image to a Martha Stewart paper doily and added the 3rd day piece behind him with a small snowflake punched from the Snowflake Lace Paper.  I created a tag using one of the pieces from the Circus Panels CutUps, stamping the sentiment onto it and then attaching to the Cranberry Seam Binding bow (which is also a new color for this release).


For the second bag topper I again folded over a piece of paper this time from an older Fancy Pants Christmas collection and added a border cut with the flap portion of the new Gift Card Envie CutUps. Yes, a Gift Card envie die! How cool is that?! Of course you don't get the full effect here since I used only a portion of it for the sentiment. Some Olive Seam Binding and another snowflake and it was done too. Easy and fun!

Products: The Cat's Pajamas stamp and CutUps, Seam Binding, Fancy Pants and Authentique dp, Kaisercraft jewels, Copic Markers

Copics: Penquin-E40, E41, R22, R24, 0; Scarf shadows-W1; Fish-YG91, YG93, YG95; Bow-R24, R29, R59
