We have a few gift cards on our Christmas list this year and I thought I would add a little giggle to their gift with one of these ...
They are quick and easy to make too. There are LOTS of fun tic tac projects out there in cyberland, here is the link to the one that I used. I modified the images so that you can print them on 6x4 paper (cut down cardstock to size) - here is the snowman (image is the perfect size for the medium Round 'n Round 1" circle squeeze punch) and the poem. I used the standard Tic Tac pack and cut my cover to be 4 5/8" x 3", with the spine scored at 2" and 2 5/8".
Start by cutting and embossing the cover. I have used my Fiskars ScrapBoss (Winter Wonderland stencil), Fiskars Mini ShapeBoss (Noel stencil) and Fiskars Texture Plate (Snowflakes) with my Fiskars Texture Tool and Fiskars Embossing Stylus.
Print off and colour the images, punch out the snowman using your small Fiskars Round 'n Round squeeze punch then mat - I used the large Fiskars Seal of Approval squeeze punch - this scalloped circle is the perfect fit!!! Cut out the poem and mat.
I adhered the ribbon (18") to the centre line of the cover using double-sided tape then foam dotted the snowman on top for a bit of added dimension.
Here is a close up of one of the covers, where I have sanded the embossing to reveal the white snowflakes
Here is a close up of the inside, so that you can see the fun poem. The Tic Tac pack is adhered in place with a dob of Helmar 450 Quick Dry but you could use a glue dot instead.
WISHING YOU ALL A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
