Wow! Today is the 40th Anniversary of Sesame Street. It is amazing to me to think that it has been around for almost my entire life — I was 1 month old when it started! I grew up watching it, I watched it as a babysitter, and finally watched it with Eve as a toddler. One of my most vivid Sesame Street memories was when Snuffleupagus became visible to the grown-ups on the show. What’s yours?
In celebration of the 40th anniversary, I created this punch art card of Sesame characters. I don’t know who came up with it first, there are a lot of versions out there! I was inspired by Sarah Wills version. This card is a 5″ square.
Paper: Only Orange, Basic Black, Old Olive, Brilliant Blue, Real Red, YoYo Yellow, Whisper White, Pixie Pink
Other: Scallop Circle Punch, 1/2″ Circle Punch, 1″ Circle Punch, Small Oval Punch, Slot Punch, Crop-a-dile
Happy Birthday, Sesame Street. Here’s to 40 more great years!
What a fun reason to make this adorable card! I loved Sesame Street as well. Funny thing… I was TWO months old when it started!
Happy 40th!
Well, I’m not telling how old I was when it started, but I could have been your babysitter! This is just too cute, and I’m going to have to CASE it for my grandson’s 4th birthday in January! TFS!!!
So cute! I was going to name my favorite character, but I can’t I loved them all. My most memorable moment was when Mr. Hooper died in real life and they addressed it on the show. I remember crying.
My son is sitting next to me as I blog surf this morning and he made me stop on this card… I’m not normally a punch art person, but this is so cute I might just have to make one. That and I have a 5yo next to me egging me on! Thanks for sharing.
Oh, Yapha – so cute! I love punch characters anyway, but Sesame Street is one of my favorite childhood memories. As a mom, i love it even more. (And Grover is my favorite – I’d probably resemble him if I ever tried to wait tables…..) TFS!
