What a great gift idea!  I taught this at my gift giving class last Saturday.  He was one of 4 quick and easy gift ideas my customers got to create! 

If you want to make this guy for yourself, make sure you sign up for my December 6 gift giving class! 

The set used is Punch Pals. . . and this set will be featured in one of my upcoming 12 days of Christmas Gifts for you my customers!  (think mint patty jar!)  I used a 3/4 inch circle punch to create the see thru belly!

I am really loving this Season of Friendship set from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  So much so that it is making an appearance at my stamp a stack this week.

Join me on Tuesday at 6:30pm for this event and get a headstart on your holiday cards.  You’ll stamp 15 cards and envelopes for $25 and you’ll receive a $10 credit on your order that night.  If you can’t make it, let me know and I will send you the supplies, you add the stamps and inks and you’ll be all set! 

This card uses Bashful Blue, Riding Hood Red and Whisper White cardstocks.  Notice the great riding hood red ribbon – with the white edge – fits just perfectly on this card!  I used a masking technique with brayer to create the bashful blue and white layers.  The white gel pen (a must for the holidays) creates the extra snow on the tree.

Here’s my newest friend. . . FROSTY!  Yes, I have been playing again. . . have you figured out yet that I am still lovin’ the Big Shot! – especially this top note die. . . there is so much you can do for it.

This guy will be one of the features of my club projects this week.  If you want to come and check out a club – give me a call.
