It's Christmas Eve and we're enjoying some relaxing, family time which is perfect. I didn't want to let the holiday pass without sharing this cute card using the Dear Santa stamp set. A friend has this set and I borrowed it and stamped this image back in September intending on making a card with it and then it sat on my desk neglected. I was finally able to pull out my Stampin' Blends and make this into something.
The cardbase is Granny Apple Green and then I used Real Red cardstock to mat the DSP from the Take a Bow Designer Series Paper pack. I used another pattern piece from the pack to add a strip down the side.
After coloring in the image, I matted it with Basic Black cardstock and attached it to the cardfront with dimensionals. The greeting is from the Christmas Labels set and was stamped with Garden Green ink on Granny Apple Green cardstock before being fussy cut out and attached with dimensionals.
Of course I need to add some embellishments, so I tied a double bow using the Real Red & White Baker's Twine and finished with a few of the Real Red & White Adhesive Backed Peppermints (these are by far my favorite embellishment from this years holiday catalog!)
I love how this card turned out and it definitely makes me feel happy and merry. Most of the items I used on this card are on the Last Chance list so if they are something you want make sure to order soon before they retire at the beginning of January.
