Saint Nicholas Card

I am fascinated that there are so many different "santas".  I especially love the Victorian Santas. So, my card today:

 
I wanted a simple front and chose some Sizzlits paper in dark green over an ivory card base.  The frames are light weight and something I've hung on to for years waiting for the right moment to use them. 
 
I added a simple grosgrain ivory ribbon and decorated it with some holly and berries.  The berries are bling and the holly leaves I cut from green glitter and gold crepe paper (Yes, there is such a thing!  Go to Castle in the Air.  They have crepe paper in so many colors. The metallics are incredible.)

I used Frantic Stamper Precision Die Holly Leaves and Berries to die cut my leaves.


I hope you enjoyed my card~!

Merry Christmas from Santa Card

Today's card is a simple Christmas card I made using Bo Bunny Papers.

Materials:
  • Bo Bunny Christmas Paper
  • Frantic Stamper Dies (Reverse Snowflake panel, Merry Christmas word die)

 

I try to challenge myself to use the scrapbook papers with the big designs on them.  They are really beautiful but usually too large for the size cards I make.  I decided to make a quick card using the Santa sleigh and reindeer .  I cu it to size and added it to a plain white card base. 

I added some leftover blue holographic snowflake die cuts.  This was a panel but I cut them out in pieces so that I could put them on the card where I wanted.



I also cut out a greeting in silver glossy card and added that last.

 
Here's a side view.


Thanks for stopping by!
