12 Days Of Christmas: Day 3 - Punchy Santa

On the 3rd day of Christmas my SU! Demo taught me

How to make a Santa using some Punches!

 

Supplies:

1/4" Circle Punch
1 1/4" Circle Punch
1 3/8" Circle Punch
Scallop Circle Punch
Scallop Square Punch
Large Star Lunch
Adhesive
Scissors
Rose Red Ink or Pastels
Sponge Dauber
Basic Black Marker
Scraps of:
    -Whisper white
    -Blush Blossom
    -Riding Hood Red

1.  Punch out:
        - 1, whisper white scallop circle
        - 1, whisper white scallop square
        - 1, 1/4" whisper white circle
        - 1, 1/4" Blush Blossom circle
        - 1, Riding Hood Red Star
        - 1, 1 3/8" Blush Blossom Circle

2.  Using the 1 1/4" punch out a section of the scallop circle.  This will be his beard, set aside

  

3.  Holding the section that you just punched out of the scallop circle, the piece that you would normally discard, it so that there are 2 full scallops between 2 partial scallops as seen below (you can click on the photo to see it larger).  This is his mustache

4.  Put the scallop square back into the scallop square punch just until 2 scallops show on each side as pictured below, if you have trouble positioning it into the punch adhere it slightly to a scrap piece of printer paper to give you something to hold onto while guiding it into the right place.

5.  Cut off one point of the star with your scissors

6.  Then flip it around to cut off another point, making it kind of look like an arrow head

7.  Using Rose Red ink or Pastels, and a sponge dauber sponge a little color onto the 1 3/8" Blush Blossom Circle.  sponging a bit on one side and then the other like cheeks.  If you are using pastels remember to blow on it a little to get rid of the excess pastel dust

  

8.  Attach the beard piece to the face piece you just sponged

9.  Attach the mustache to the beard and a little onto the face, then attach the little 1/4" blush blossom circle slightly on the beard and slightly on the face

10.  Attach the now rectangle scallop piece to the top of the each just so that it is over a tiny bit of the beard on each side.

11.  Attach the arrow/star piece underneath all of this so that its width stretches across atleast 3 of the scallops on the rectangle piece.  (at this point you could use him as a knome face...lol)

12.  Fold over about 1/4" of the tip of the hat over to one side(click on the photo to see it better)

13.  Attach the 1/4" whisper white circle to the tip that you folded over.

14.  Add your Punchy Santa to a card, or a tag or what ever you wish!!
