Santa's on the Way

Wow, 20 days till Christmas. Where has this year gone. Well on to the reason for this post. A couple of weeks ago one of the girls I was working with had this container of mints
  I saw it as a santa. Don't know why but that is the way my mind works sometimes. So I found them at a great price and thought I would see if I could make my idea come to life. I wanted his beard to be over the larger opening so you will be able to get the mints out.
This is a photo of what I came up with. Not bad if I say say so myself.  I will be making these
for people I work with.
 
Below you will see the pieces I used and the items I used to make them. I did how ever after
taking the pictures choose to use the scalloped edge punch for the trim on Santa's hat. 
The punches I used are large oval, owl punch, bird builder punch, large scalloped circle,
the third oval thinlet from the frameits line,The retired scalloped circle #2 for the bigshot,
 and the star burst embossing folder. Hope this helps you to make your own Santa's.
 
Hope you have enjoyed this post and maybe make a few for yourself.
Have a great day and happy crafting.
