I don't have any stamps to go along with this Nutcracker challenge so I decided to give punch art a go! I pieced together this Nutcracker and added a felt beard. I used ticket punched corners. I think this would be a great card to slide a couple of ballet tickets into!

Fabulous card. Love how you made all your punches work for you and make your design into a real nutcracker. He's almost alive! And your idea of adding a couple of theater tickets is really wonderful.
Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful nutcracker! I'm always impressed (and a little jealous!) when people can look at something and figure out how to make it punch art. I especially love his eyebrows and little pink cheeks. Thanks for sharing!

What an amazing punch-art nutcracker!!! Wow, this is totally creative and so sweet, too. Great colors. Such a fun card--bet this was fun to make, too.
