I'm taking a break from baking caramel corn to write up this post. {I'm at about my 10th batch for this year -- most for gifts. Today's is going to my DD's co-workers.} For a couple of parties recently, I made some treats for everyone. Our homeschoolers got "Reindeer Noses." Our printer was having issues, so I could not print out any of the cute sayings for them, but they were pretty cute anyway.
The reindeer is from Create a Critter cut at about 2 1/2". I cut the largest Spellbinders Labels Eight and folded it over. Stamped a few snowflakes in white and hand wrote the words (*cringe* I did warn you that the printer was down!).
With the reflection on the bag, it is hard to tell, but there are 8 brown noses -for Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen- and one red nose for Rudolph! :) They are Whoppers and a Cherry Sour.

For our ladies Christmas fellowship at church, I made peppermint patty snowmen. I saw them on Pinterest (click HERE to see original) and thought they would be cute. I also thought they'd be quick and easy. Nothing is ever as quick and easy as you think it will be! Especially when you are making 40 of them!! :-P
I used 2", 1 1/2", and 1" punches for the circles. The edges were rubbed with TH faded jeans. I made my own hat and nose and cut them in MTC. The faces are Peachy Keen Assorted faces, but I put a corner of paper down as I stamped so that only the eyes stamped on the face. The arms are MS branch punch with the lower branches removed. There is a peppermint patty between the bottom circles. The original had a bow, too, but I
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!
