This was one of the last cards I made before I went on my hols which I've now discovered that while I was away all the Clearly Besotted Perfect Pigs were sold and are now out of stock.

But to be honest you can make a similar card with any animal stamp that fits the Tim Holtz Crazy Things santa hats stamps.

I paper pieced my piggys using a sheet of Doodlebug Hello 6 inch pad, each piggy was stamped twice so I could layer heads or bodies.

To make the actual card I used Simon says Stamp Bundle of Shapes and their Stitched Squares.  My sentiment is the Simon says stamp Believe stamp and die and to finish with a snowflake using Simon says Stamps Stitched Snowflakes. 

The tiny dot in the centre is using the waste from the Tim Holtz Gearhead die, in fact I use them regularly for flower centres too.



Do you use Instagram ?  If so please add  #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too.
