I pity the fool that doesn't fall in love with Mr. T...
OR should I say Mr. Twigster?
OK, I did it... I pre-ordered from the upcoming Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog.
I just couldn't resist "Mr. Twigster" ( a set of four cute stamps for only $13.95 - see below).
I started my Kreation with Basic Black cardstock. To the top I added a piece of Riding Hood Red cardstock beneath a bit of Washington Apple designer series paper (DSP).
The main image... Mr. Twigster himself ... is stamped onto Very Vanilla (although it looks like Whisper White in this photo).
As soon as I stamped this little guy, I was in love. He looks so much cuter in person! I used the little string of lights stamp to create a swag above his top hat. They are "secured" with silver Stampin' Up! brads for a bit of bling.
If you look closely, you'll see that his scarf is paper pieced from the Bella Rose DSP. I wanted him to be fancy for his debut.
Now on to my FAVORITE part... look at that wide Riding Hood Red and Very Vanilla grosgrain ribbon! This was THE main thing I wanted from the Holiday Mini. I simply adhered a piece of it along the bottom using some Sticky Strip to showcase it's beauty. OOO AAAHHH, this ribbon is so yummy!
The "be of good cheer" sentiment is a rub on from the Holiday Happenings bundle (Hostess Level III). To finish things off, I used a stick pin from the Pretties Kit and added a non Stampin' Up! plastic lightbulb to the top.
I adore Mr. Twigster and can't wait to play with him again soon.
COMING SOON: More sneak peeks into the Holiday Mini Catalog and an offer from Country Living Magazine.
