When I saw Holly McMillen’s cute cat on Splitcoaststampers, I just knew I would have to make one for my friend who is in recovering from surgery. My friend is mom to a black cat, so it’s absolutely perfect. Holly made her cat with cat treats inside the body and head. Mine is for a two-legs who can’t eat chocolate, so it has gummy bears inside (I managed to fold a bag of Haribo Gummy Bears to fit inside the body). I left the head empty and I think it looks fine this way. To see Holly’s original cat, check HERE.
Then because I just couldn’t help myself, I had to keep going and make another critter. I had extra black sacs, so I decided to make a black lab. I hope you him. I think this sac idea is very versatile and I’ll probably create more critters in the future. Thanks Holly for your inspiration!
