Hi everyone! It’s Monday, Merry Monday time! It is cold again here in PA, and it still feels like winter….perfect for my card, LOL! Here is the challenge for you today:
Isn’t that a gorgeous inspiration?! Wait until you see what the other designers did with this too! Woohoo! I went in a different direction, inking up some new CTMH stamps with a retro feel:
I just love this little Santa and his “ho ho ho!”"….he is stamped in Real Red and I used some Authentique Christmas and MME Halloween papers for my backgrounds. I embossed the red with a couple of different embossing folders and added some silver glimmer snowflakes for a little extra pop! Santa has a little DD glitter on his beard, too!
Again, stamped in Real Red, punched out and backed with a scallop mat. Simple but cute! I sure hope you’ll play along with us…it is so fun to see what you create!
Cassidy made a snowman….with ears (shown from the side)!!!

ReplyDeleteHi LeAnne. I love your cheery Santa too. I also love the slightly distressed red, embossed panel, yummm, and the wee touches of glitter too. A fun card.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely Christmas card LeAnne. I like the sanded embossed strip and your angled santa. Cassidy has an off-the-wall sense of humour that I can really appreciate!
