{The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek} First Christmas


Welcome to the first day of The Cat's Pajamas sneak peeks! Over the next seven days The Cat Pack will be showcasing six new stamp sets, a bonus CutUps set that is free with a $65 purchase and three more new dies.


It's also time for another TCP Tuesday at The Cat's Pajamas with an "Anything Goes" challenge. The challenge runs for two weeks and The Cat’s Pajamas stamps are not required.


Last  year I made quite a few tags for my Christmas packages and I hope to do that again this year. Today's tags get me off to great start. I started out by coloring up three of the cuties from the new First Christmas set. These are the baby versions of our regular cast of characters, Sprinkle and Poochie. I colored all images with Copic Markers and then fussy cut out. I then used a die from the Fancy Flip Frames set and one of the dies from the Luggage Tags CutUps to cut tags from white cardstock, The third one was created by using a Spellbinders circle Nestie to create the domed top from a rectangle. I used papers from the the Doodlebug Home for the Holidays pad to decorate. The sentiments were stamped onto each using Vermillion ink and I added stamped snowflakes (from the same set) using Sour Apple ink. After attaching the images to each tag with foam tape, I added Hemptique cord in the tag holes as well as some sequins to each tag front. Easy peasy!

Here are the individual photos.




And here is one of the tags on a vellum gift bag. And yes, the fur babies get pressies too!
