Frosty the Snowman

As mentioned yesterday, I am going to share with you some of the items we sold at our Holiday Bazaar last weekend. 

First up:  Snowman Tic Tacs

This little guy is easy and fun to make, and is a hit with kids. 

Cut cardstock (I used Marina Mist) twice as long, plus 5/8", and the same height as your tic tac box.  Round the corners. 
Cut Whisper White to layer on the front, rounding the corners, and stamping with snowflakes (I stamped in Smoky Slate).  Lay about 15" of ribbon (I used 1/8" Marina Mist Taffeta Ribbon) across the front and adhere the white layer to the blue layer (this will circle around the back and tie on the side, keeping your cover closed); punch a 1" circle near the bottom.

Using a piece of Sticky Strip on the spine of the Tic Tac box, adhere your cover.

The body of the snowman is another 1" circle punch, and his head is 3/4" circle.  Before adhering him with dimensionals, add his scarf (red 1/8" Taffeta ribbon). 

His hat is the Ticket Punch with a sliver of Basic Black as the brim; I added a sparkle of Silver Glimmer Paper trim, along with a flower and rhinestone.  His eyes and buttons are Basic Pearls, colored with a black Sharpie, and his nose is a sliver of Pumpkin Pie.

Inside is a little poem:
Makes a cute stocking stuffer or table decoration for your holiday dinner.

Let's get creating!
