Dies, circles
Patterned paper
Cardstock, various colours
Stickers: alphabet, snowflake

Die cut a 7cm circle of pink card and an 8.5cm circle from brown card. Punch two small circles from black cardstock
Glue the pink circle onto the brown one, overlapping the edge. Trim the excess. Snip a triangle beak from orange and two black legs
Fix the beak to the body with a 3D foam pad and glue the legs to the reverse. Draw a white gel pen dots on each eye, then attach

Using a pencil, lightly draw a 2cm x 5cm rectangle in the centre of the same piece
Cut along the longer sides of the rectangle and score the others. Gently push from the back to create a step
