cuddles - sorry I don't. I've been doing mine for a few years but not very good at explaining how to do it. Think it was melissa from the card making thread who pointed me in the right direction but not sure.
I wonder if it might be an idea to have a thread for tutorials............there are so many different things to make, re-vamp ect and sometimes the tutorials get lost in a thread.

I'll have a look and see if I can find anything in my Favourites

Maybe we could have a sticky at the top?

Wow some fantastic links and makes guys. I love the candycane mouse so sweet. I have been making some more rudolph noses but i have added a miniture red bauble to each bag this time. The baubles were in a pack of 20 for 99p from B&M Bargains. The topper i made is still available on my blog or feel free to send me a pm.

I use Stampin' Up punches which are quite expensive. Flyingpig did a tutorial using a mini pot of jam jar (empty of course ) which I think was a good size for the ES Mints.
I think you can also get Woodware punches, but not sure of their prices.
The scalloped punch from Stampin' Up is 1 3/4" and the round one is 1 3/8". I suppose circles between 2" ro 1.5" might work OK but not sure....

if you can't stretch to a punch then perhaps using a small round template like the mini jam jar is the way to go? Personally I wouldn't have the paitence to do it by hand but not everyone is like me

naki - lovely Xmas puds

dizzytina - like your templates, thanks for sharing

Naki and Dizzytina, love your makes.:T:T

I made 15 snowman soup and 15 coffee cards last night, was hoping for a lie in this morning but have been awake with my littlest darling since 4.30. :eek:

There is a sticky at the top, (A_Z of craft/handmade occasions) although whenever I have tried to PM the OP, my message "bounces"

I suppose people have "real lives" to get on with.

For sticky threads we should have to PM an admin department or somewhere with a bigger capacity to store messages and sort them.

Or maybe an open thread (like giggles) for adding tutorials that are then moved into the locked sticky thread.
