Santa's Coming!

Ho Ho Ho!

It's hard to believe that Christmas is less than a month away! It always seems to creep up on us! I have to say this is the first year I had my shopping done and presents wrapped by the middle of November! Look at me go LOL. Todays card features the adorable "Christmas Santa" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps!

I started my card by stamping the image onto Copic friendly paper and then stamped the "Coming To Town" sentiment underneath Santa. Next, I coloured my image in using my Copic markers to match papers from the Vicki Boutin "Evergreen and Holly" 6x8 collection. Using a MFT Stitched Octagon die, I cut the image out and piece to put behind it. Of course Santa has to have some sparkle so I added Crystal Stickles to the fur parts on his outfit. Some twine and enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Skin & Beard: E11, E21, R20/ C0, C1, C2, C3

Santa's outfit: R22, R24, R27, R29/ C5, C8, C9

Rudolph: E31, E33, E35, E37/ W2, W5

Greens: YG03, YG17

Stars: Y26, Y28

Snow: B0000, B000, B00

Christmas Santa

Howdy - MichelleO here today -

Ok so Santa is Great! but a Santa with Presents, Rudolf and Candy Canes?? Best Santa ever! 

 

I colored up this fabulous High Hopes Stamps "Christmas Santa" with lots of Copics and then added Nuvo Sparkle and White for Santa's Trim and the snow. I found a great candy cane pattern paper from Paper Studio to match up with the image. I sewed down the layers of papers and mats with zig zag and straight stitch, then it is all on a bright red card stock card base. For the sentiment a perfect High Hopes Sentiment "Candy Cane Wishes" You just can't help but feel the happy Christmas Spirit right?

Christmas Santa!

Hello!

There is nothing cuter than Santa with Rudolph and this rubber stamp called "Christmas Santa" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps is just that....CUTE!! Christmas is my favourite Holiday! I love to decorate my house and the memories we make each year with family and friends are ones I cherish dearly!

My card today is a simpler one for me! Usually I add lots of designer paper layers but I thought the scene with the "Christmas Santa" stamp was more than enough interest! So I only used 1 layer of matching cardstock and 1 layer of Designer paper from the American Crafts Cozy & Bright 6x6 collection. There is a bit of glitter pen on the candy cane and ribbon bows for a soft look. 

I used a die from Gina Marie called "Feathered Lace Rectangle" and I think it just sets off the image. A nice Christmas bow finished off my card.

I kept the same design theme on the inside and used the High Hopes sentiment called "Believe". I really think we should all "Believe" in the magic of the Holidays!

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20

Beard: C1, C2, C3, C4

Deer: E31, E33, E35, E37, W1, W3, W5

Boots, Belt & Gloves: N5, N6, N8

Reds: R35, R37, R39

Greens: YG63, YG67

Yellows: Y26, Y28
