Hello Kitty bunny costume sizzlit tutorial

Here is a tutorial to help you put those Hello Kitty sizzlit die pieces together. I've had many requests on how to do the piecing part.Step 1: First off, I always run all the cardstock that I am using to cut the pieces, through my Xyron machine. Keep all your scraps too because they come in handy whenever you do piecing.
I am using the Hello Kitty bunny costume sizzlit die for this tutorial.
Step 2: You will need to cut the die pieces in both white and pink cardstock for the layering part.
I also put a small piece of yellow cardstock to cut the bow at the same time I cut one of the kittys out. I used a black marker to color in the whiskers.
Step 3: Cut the oval perforated piece around the face out. I used a darker pink cardstock to cut a little round piece to place under the footprint. Don't forget to punch the little pieces out first.
Step 4: Peel the backing off the pink piece and adhere over the white. Oops, I forgot to cut the handpieces off the pink piece so the white hands would show through. Do this before you stick the pink down to the white.
Step 5: Turn the kitty over.
Step 6: Peel the backing off. It will be very sticky so try to be careful with it. I should of used lotion because my fingers look dry.
Step 7: Cut tiny little square pieces of black cardstock for the eyes and yellow for the nose. Haha! Looks like a Hello Kitty dough boy.
Turn it over, add the yellow bow piece and put a gemstone on it. And you're done! I did cut the pink hand pieces off so the white hands would show through. I put it on this box that I used for the scallop envelope box tutorial.
Now because this is an extra one that I used to make this tutorial, I would like to give it away. The only thing is, I can't mail it because it will probably get crushed. So if you are willing to pick it up from the store, leave me a comment and I will pick a winner this weekend.

Thanks for all your ideas. If you are going to give the box away, I'll pick it up from the store if you pick me.

Thanks!

Thank you for doing the tutorial, Cheryl. Using the xyron sure makes it easier - such a cute box, especially with the MS fence.
