Vintage Santa

Happy Friday, everyone! I have a vintage-themed Christmas card for you today--I've been neglecting my holiday cards, so I need to get cracking!  It fits these challenges:  Jingle Belles--the Man with the Bag (Santa!); Retro Rubber's Tic Tac Toe grid (I used the center column); and the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches:

So here we go:

These Crafty Secrets vintage Santa stamps are probably from around 2012 or so.  I don't really know the date, but I know I've had them for a long time and was very sad when they went out of business!  I stamped Santa on Very Vanilla with Cherry Cobbler ink and added some swirls in Crumb Cake:

Sentiment was stamped on Crumb Cake, along with some wee little "stitched" lines from Close to My Heart (approx 2000)

and here's the inside sentiment:

My Crumb Cake mat was also embossed with the Subtle embossing folder and sponged with Pecan Pie ink to give it a vintage feel.  Some maroon sequins from my stash finished it off!

Thanks for visiting today---I know need to go do my chores! Enjoy your day and be blessed!
