Nutcracker Punch Art backstage gifts

Nutcracker Punch Art 2

A few of the backstage gifts for some of the Act I fellow castmates, Party Scene guys, Prince, Clara, and Mouse King.  I have more to make today yet before the final performance this afternoon.  This is the last Nutcracker for our son and our granddaughter as they are seniors.  It will be an emotional afternoon!  I used a variety of Stampin'Up! punches, and then just placed them on designer series wrapped candy bars.  The Mouse King loved the crown!  It is from the Carry On Hostess stamp set.  The toy soldier punch art was inspired by Richelle, an Australian stamper.  I did add boots and changed out a few things.

Update:  Here are photos of the punch art guide sheets from my Punch Art Classes.  These punches are retired but if you have them or can use something similar, these guides may help you.

  1. Just love these candy wrappers. Please post directions. My niece will be performing in the Nutcracker on Dec. 22nd. This will probably be her last. She enters high school next year and if she plays a sport won’t be taking ballet lessons anymore. She has also been in the Nutcracker since she was very young. I know they would love these to hand out. Last year I made Shrinkydink nutcracker earrings. Not SU but Graphic45 Hampton Art has Nutcracker paper and stuff this year. Very beautiful.

  2. Hey there! I could have sworn I’ve been to
    this blog before but after reading through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
    Nonetheless, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll be bookmarking and checking back frequently!

  3. Just found your site… love it. Great ideas…
    Love the Nut cracker. How can I get the instructions?
    I have a nephew that played the lead in the Nutcracker,
    Over 30 years ago and every year I give him something with a
    Nut cracker on it.. this would be great
    Thanks
