Posted: 10/29/2012 11:25:24 PM I almost bought these today but I'm not sure about them. I think they need a little more face! I looked at some samples on Stampendous but still am not sure. I think they are made to look like the face is snuggling down in the scarf since all the outfits have something around the neck. Does anyone have these? Do you like them?

TFS, Tracie.

By-in-large, I like the images & the mix & match concept. The only difficulty I would have is the individual image sizes. From what I learned by doing a search is that the entire set is only 4"x6". That makes the faces & bodies small for me if I wanted to shrink them further using craftfoam or shrink plastic.

That said, however, I can definitely see dozens of ways to use & play with these images for wearables, bookmarks & more.

I was primarily interested in them for Christmas cards. You're right....they are a bit small.

Posted: 10/30/2012 10:38:24 AM I think they may be a little small too. I think the faces would look cute peeking over something, like the top of a card or behind a Christmas tree or looking over a gift. I do think the set is really cute! Stampwilly

I love "mix and match" type sets. There are a LOT of combos here!

I have them, they are small. That being said, they work pretty well for tags and in a grouping at the bottom of a card.
(And regarding needing more face...I used the fine copic pen to extend a little more round at the bottom.)

I have them...I do like them, of course I only used the moose the first year and they are awaiting more love someday. I think they are adorable and they are not real big....would make great images for a large gift tag!

I wasn't too sure about them until I went and looked at the sample cards on the Stampendous site. I can picture them with a small candy bar stuck on top and just the head and feet poking out from underneath. I thought the samples were cute. This is my favorite, the gift card holder!
