Santa Candy Wrapper


I sawthis very cute idea from Dawns Stampin Studio. I have her blog listed under my blog list so check it out. She did a video on how to make these. I had to make mine a little different because I don't have Stamp Up punches which is what she used. So I did some thinking and checking around my scrapbook room on how I was going to make the beard,brim,head and hat. This is what I came up with. I cut the head from using the Fiskars circle cutter. Eyes and nose a 1/4" Fiskars hand punch. All the rest were cut using different Cricut cartridges. I used Mini Monogram, Joys of the Season and Christmas Cheer.The beard was made from a wreath, the brim from a pipe and the hat from a scalloped square. I really had to look at the designs in a different manner to come up with these. I was so happy I challenged myself and learned so much from this process. These have Hershey miniature chocolate and chocolate with almond bars inserted. They will also fit Mr Goodbar miniature bars. To put in Butterfinger and Kit Kat miniature bars some adjustment to the wrap around part will need to be made. I added glitter at the end to give him some sparkle. This would be Cute in a Holiday basket, attached to a gift etc. A Big Thank You to Dawn for doing this video.
