Reindeer Choc jacket

Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas challenge is

"use a die or punch'

I used a die to make the nose on these reindeer chocolate jackets

 

I halved an A4 piece or card stock, scored the sides twice so that it fitted snuggly around the choc bar and then used double sided tape to adhere it tightly.

The nose was cut with a die and the antlers are cut freehand. Two wobbly eyes finished the jacket.

Half Embossed Butterflies

Butterfly spot challenge. have these cues

 

 

I made a card with some Hot pink butterflies

 

 

I was trying to use my die for embossing but didn't quiet get it right. It cut through the Card stock in certain places but I folded up the wings where it did and added coloured butterflies where it didn't and am very happy with the results.

The pink butterflies are cut from a Birthday card I received a couple of years ago.
