An Adorable Winter {Puzzle}
Today, Debi is sharing a little {puzzle} with us....
I made this penguin gift tag because I was so inspired by all the penguin things I have seen out there this season.
I covered cardstock with black/white glitter and die-cut several of the them using Circles (#654985 or #656333) then I layered them up. I die-cut another Circle and embossed it using our Texture Impressions (#656472) and then cut it in half. Apply chalk ink to embossed image. Attach the embossed piece to the black Circle. Die-cut the Rosette (#656931) from patterned paper. Fan fold as indicated and adhere to bottom of half Circle. Die-cut Snowflake from paper and add to hat. Punch circles for eyes and hand-cut a triangle for nose and attach to penguin. Die-cut feet using Flower, Beauty Bloom (#655455) and adhere to back of black Circle. How cute is he? Enjoy!
Thanks so much, Debi! He is adorable!
Puzzled?

Snowflake & Rosette Ornament
Hello, Friends!
Check out this adorable ornament by Debi!
Instructions:
Create two rosettes: one (large) out of newspaper and one (small) out of tissue paper. To create the newspaper rosette: Cut a wide strip of newspaper, accordion fold, gather center and wrap with pipe cleaner. Pull the edges of the newspaper above the pipe cleaner apart to reveal the ridges and creases of the accordion fold (these will create the petals of your flower). Adhere edges together to form a rosette. If desired, cut the ends of the petals with scissors to round them. To create the tissue paper rosette: Cut a strip of tissue paper, accordion fold, gather center and wrap with pipe cleaner. Pull the edges of the tissue paper above the pipe cleaner apart to reveal the ridges and creases of the accordion fold (these will create the petals of your flower). Adhere edges together to form a rosette. If desired, cut the ends of the petals with scissors to round them. Die-cut Snowflake #2 out of cardstock, embellish with glitter. Add a metallic cord hanger to the larger Snowflake and adhere to larger rosette. Adhere smaller rosette on top of snowflake. Die-cut a snowflake from Snowflakes #3 out of fun foam, embellish with glitter and adhere to the smaller rosette. Embellish with a metal embellishment.
