Frosty and His Flaky Friends

Here's a fun Frosty project that would be a good little favor for the holidays to take to meetings, add into a basket of other goodies, or use for a stocking stuffer.  Frosty and his flaky friends are cut from dies from Papertrey Ink.   Frosty is mounted onto a Little Debbie Nutty Bar.  TIP:  Look for treats and items that are individually wrapped and then build a project around them.

I like to use somewhat unexpected colors to add some whimsey.  Here I've mixed Poppy Parade with Blushing Bride, Pool Party and other colors.  The project would have been cute with the traditional Christmas colors, but I wanted Frosty and Friends to look as if some children just randomly pulled out garments from their closets in different fun colors to dress up Frosty.

The scarf is not from a die, but rather I used the "SU owl punch" and the SU large oval punch.  Yep, the owl's vest/chest was cut into two pieces to form the scarf ends.  I often turn to punches to create a shape.

Note that the little sign on Frosty is sending "warm wishes" (tee hee).


Have a great day today and keep the holiday spirit alive with friendship and love for family and friends.
