Punch Art Snowman Patty

Combine a few flat snowmen with Mint patties & you get an adorable treat!

 
See?  Aren't they just the cutest?? 

We'll be making these as part of my Mommy& Me class on Saturday, December 11th. If you're local & want to attend, call or e-mail me! Spots are limited. 

 
Here's the recipe:

1. Punch three different sized circles from White card stock - 1", 1 3/4" & 2 1/2" in size.  Sponge the edges with Bashful Blue ink if desired.  Add two black brads to the smallest circle for eyes.  Attach the circles on top of each other using dimensionals.
2. Punch a few 'arms' from Soft Suede card stock using the snowflake punch.  Attach them to the center circle.  Add a ribbon scarf.
3. Hand cut an orange nose.
4. The hat was made with the Cupcake punch.... yes I know!  It's now available yet for most people.  But it's coming in January with the Occasions mini catalog.  For now, just cut a Black square about 3/4" in size & a small rectangle wider than your square to create your own hat.
   
5. To sandwich the mint pattie, I just used one more 2 1/2" White circle for the back/bottom.  

I received quite a few e-mails from people wondering how I layered the Modern Label punch on this card.  (Details here.)

There is a die in the Movers & Shapers that layers the Modern Label punch perfectly, but if you do not have it, you can do it this way:

Punch two Modern Label pieces & cut them in half - one vertically & the other horizontally.  Then, position them just a bit beyond your stamped, punched Modern Label piece.  

 

I hope that makes sense to you!  I like to layer many of my punched tags this way.  Basically you're cutting them in half & spreading out the pieces.

Thanks for stopping in for this week's punch art!
