Do You Believe in Santa?

More from the Craft Fair in which I participated.  This cute idea has been floating on the internet for awhile, and was a big hit at the fair. 

 These little fellas are easy to make, using punches.  Start with a 1 3/4" punch using Blushing Bride or Pink Pirouette card stock for his face.  Don't forget a 1/2" circle nose!
The (retired) ornament punch makes the beard; add his mustache by punching two wings from the Bird Punch--run these through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  Add the beard to the "face" and pop up the mustache with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Glue on his nose.
Cute Santa
 Eyes are a 1/4" punch of Basic Black; glue them on and give him a "glimmer" with a Signo White Gel Pen. 
For the hat:  punch about 1/3 of the wide oval punch using Whisper White card stock.  Discard the piece you punched; slide the punch about 1/4 way over the curve and punch again.  This creates his cap (popped up with dimensionals) and then add a 1/2" circle pom pom.
Yum Yum!
Stick on your Peppermint Patty using Sticky Strip, and you've got an adorable stocking stuffer or place setting decoration. 
Enjoy!
