Woodland Santa

Welcome High Hopes Rubber Stamps Fans!

It’s Wednesday, and this month at High Hopes Rubber Stamps we are celebrating Christmas. YAY!!!  This week, I used Woodland Santa - R098 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the main image and a sentiment from our new release called O Christmas Tree - GLL002 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps).

To create the scene, I cut out various sizes of trees and then used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to colour them. I also cut out various layers of snow from Recollections - Christmas Inkjet Printable Glitter Paper. Other pieces from the same paper, I just tore for a variation in the snow. I ran all of the little trees and snow through the Xyron Creative Station which made it much easier to put the scene together. Lastly, I popped up the image and sentiment with 3M VHB - 2 sided tape.

Woodland Santa Christmas

My family and I are literally celebrating Christmas in July on July 25th. It is cheaper for my family from out of the province to come in during the summer so a July celebration it is. 
I have some family members who love the outdoors and I think "Woodland Santa" is perfect for one of their Christmas cards. 
The High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper design teams will be bringing you Christmas in July for the month - perfect timing for me as I now need to get a ton of Christmas cards done - yikes! 

After colouring my Santa with alcohol markers and Prisma pencils I hand fussy cut him and ran a black marker around the edge to get any white I had missed. He was set aside and the patterned papers from Bo Bunny and Carta Bella were cut to fit my design. White card stock was perfect for my snow banks and snow flakes and a pine tree die gave me the perfect size for my tree detail. 
Some twine and matte dots finish off my card.

Christmas Joy

Happy Sunday!

I am working on a real cool project with the new release stamps, but it has taken me more time to finish than I thought it would, so..... to be continued.. ;)

In the meantime I've created this simple (but fun!) Christmas card!
I just love these golden oldies stamps and if you search for Santa on the website there are so many Santa (72!!) stamps to choose from!!

For this card I've used Woodland Santa together with the Peace, Love, Joy sentiment.

Together with traditional Green and Red cardstock and some lovely Chrismas dessinpaper.

Well, I'm off working on that project I've mentioned earlier!

Have a great day!
