Snowman Soup

{Jane Bosi}  Hello, Sweet Friends!  Today I have a yummy little giftie to share that's easy to make and sure to be a hit as the colder weather draws near.  My little gift pouch features the Snowman Soup stamp set and dies from last month's release!  This set is sooo adorably cute!  The availability of dies to match is just the icing on the cake! (or the marshmallow in the cup???)

I have a fun little die that I used to create the gift bag.  Because the die cuts the bag in two pieces, it was easy to add the window on front.  I used some coordinating card stock colors and the Borders and Backgrounds stamp set to decorate the bag before adding my cute little snowman.  I love how the die cuts a a nice little edge around the image---I used water color paper so, I water colored the image using my aqua brush and inks.  The white edge is the perfect contrast to the colored image and makes it pop! right off the project.

To decorate the marshmallow bag, I created a little charm using another image and die from the set along with some shrink plastic.  I was probably in second grade (.....just a few years ago....) when I first discovered shrinky dinks.  I still love them to this day!  Isn't is just the cutest thing?

I hope you are feeling all toasty and ready for some creating of your own!!  Have a blessed day--Jane
