I'd a completely different plan for DS2's Christmas cards but I'd lent the dies to someone and needed a plan B. I'd bought a teddy punch some time ago to make gingerbread men and had never even tried it out. Well, the punch has certainly earned its keep on this card!
I tried trimming off the teddy ears to make the gingerbread men in one piece but the head was a little small so I used the SU Owl punch to make circles that I glued on top. A tiny holly punch created the leaves I used instead of bows on the men - so, so fiddly! - but they hide where the head joins the body. Some tiny buttons and doodling and the men were done.
I used an XCut doily die and a circle die to make the background for my wreath - I shelved vague plans to add pine fronds, there's a limit to how many fiddly things I can put up with in one day! Another XCut die for the bow, a couple of bells, background paper from First Edition and the card's done.
