Made these to give as thank you gifts for the kid's teachers and bus drivers. Made 16 of them total as that is how many packs of gum came in two packages..lol. Each child got 4 of them to give out.
I stamped the frogs and all words with staz on black. Used an aqua pen and twinkling H2O's to fill in each frog. Colored the frogs eyes white with the signo gel pen, then took the black journaler and re-dotted the frogs eye. I did not have any circles of velcro so just too a strip of sticky velcro and cut small pieces. Stamped the background all in the splatter stamp from Itty Bitty Backgrounds.

I would love to have the directions for this also. This is really cute. Would love to do some of these in a Breast Cancer theme for my Bunco fundraiser next month.

Cute idea! Wish I could get mine to work but our packages of gum seem to be bigger here in Canada.. (which surprises me really, since the US usually has us beat on everything LOL)

you could make this work for a larger pack of gum, you just need to change the places where you score at to give you a larger score area. I could see if I can work out the exact measurements if you tell me how wide your gum pack is. Does it only hold 5 pieces of gum? Ours comes in a large multi pack (8 to a pack).
