Time for another Stampin' B's DT challenge! This week Lois is our hostess, and she is challenging us to make a card with an animal in a die cut.
I had to bend things just a bit to make something to meet this challenge. I do not have any die cutting tools/machinery. So I had to work with what I've got: paper punches and my Creative Memories Custom Cutting System. My punches weren't big enough for what I had in mind, so the job fell to my CM tools.
This is a pull treat, with a package of yummy Boy Scout microwave popcorn hiding inside. The perfect holiday gift for my son to give to one of his gymnastics coaches (all young men)! A tutorial for pull treats may be found here: Pull-Up Treats Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers

Do I smell popcorn? Hmmmmmm Emily, what a great idea with this pull treat. Your kids must have the 'bestest' gifts for the teachers at school. I am sure it makes them very happy to be able to give something unique. Nice image, too...and you managed to make it very masculine. Good work!!

For somebody who didn't have any diecuts, you sure have a lot of shapes on this goodie! Love the idea of the popcorn inside. When my two grandsons were much younger, I was never without popcorn -- both of them were cub scouts/boy scouts. And my daughter always wound up being popcorn chairman!

Popcorn gift holder!! Count me in. Could ya add a little chocolate in the bag too and maybe some punchez??? Hey, come up with a punchez bag and you can send us all one for Christmas. Is that asking too much of our little Emzi Wemzi? Not to worry, you're off the hook. Just keep tantalizing us with your wonderful work. Love your image, creativity and that awesome DP. You did REAL GOOD!! TFS!

Gosh Emzi!!!! No die cuts - no nesties???? I think we better take up a collection for you amongst the Punchateers!!! Look at that greedy Fruitflake asking for chocolate and goodies for you - when it's perfectly clear that we need to get you some die cuts! Or - Emzi - have you gone overboard with punchez!! UH HUH!!!
Fabulous card! I would never know that you did not have die cutters!! Nicely done!

Emzi-I am working on my letter to Santa today on your behalf. He needs to bring you a cuttlebug and some spellbinders dies!!! lol They don't take up much room in the sack so I am sure Santa would be able to fit you in!!!
You did a fabulous job with this even though you don't have the tools...you would never know. You are so creative that you can improvise with no problem. This is such an awesome card. Love your paper and image. Way to go Girl!!!

I must've commented on this on your blog...I remember it well. For some reason, it reminds me of Animal Cracker cookies! (don't ask....I am really not exactly sure why) He's such a handsome reindeer, and look at you getting fancy with popcorn!
