Holiday Greetings!

Greetings!

What a cute Santa and reindeer, don't you think?! This is the adorable "Christmas Pals" red rubber stamp from High Hopes. It's hard to believe that it's November already and Christmas is right around the corner! This will be a cute addition to my Christmas card stash!

I stamped "Christmas Pals" onto Copic Friendly paper and coloured it in using my Copic Sketch Markers. Next I fussy cut out my image and added a black marker to the edges for a finished look. My papers today are from the Memory Box "Christmas Plaid" 6x6 collection. I've had the SSS Birch Tree Window for a while and finally found the perfect design to use it on. I cut it out and using some Delicata Golden Glitz ink and a sponge dauber, added some gold to the cut out edges to match the gold stripe in the paper. Santa is popped up with some foam squares for added dimension. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "North Pole Greetings". I added some Stampendous Spoonful of Snow for Santa and the Reindeer to stand in. Some Stickles on Santa's fur trim and gold enamel dots finish off my card.

I Believe!

Christmas will be here before we know it and Santa and Rudolph are already meeting to plan a magical Christmas Eve for everyone! 
I think these two "Christmas Pals" spend a lot of time together when it's not Christmas too and are the best of friends! 

After colouring up this cute pair with alcohol markers and hand fussy cutting them I added some bling to Santa's suit with Stickles and Rudolph's wreath bow with Wink of Stella. I set them aside and got my side step card die out and cut the base. Some light blue starry paper was perfect for the background for these two. I added some sparkle to each star with Stickles. 
I had a wood sleigh and reindeer in my stash I made with white acrylic paint and I added some bling to them with a clear sparkle pen (hard to see in the photo). I inked all the paper edges with antique linen distress ink. Some sparkly ribbon, gold bells and gumdrops finish off my card.
