The Write Stuff

Today I have a very bright, jolly Christmas card featuring Santa’s sleigh, filled with presents. It’s backed with a cheerful Christmas stripe paper and a half stamped, half die cut greeting. This card was a lot of fun to make!

For the Inspiration Challenge, we are visiting The Primitive Pineapple & their Pinterest Boards. I was inspired by THIS picture & I knew I had just the dies to make it.

I used a brushed gold & bright red for the sleigh & presents, along w/ a little Christmas green for some of them. Santa’s bags & hat were die cut out of a sheet of red, flocked felt & the fur parts were cut out of a sheet of white, glitter felt, I glued them to card stock before die cutting them to make them not so flimsy.  The felt gives a nice, velvety texture to these items. For the greeting, I die cut a series of rectangles & frames using rectangle dies. Half the greeting was stamped & the Merry was die cut out of white & the shadow out of a dk green & white polka dot paper. The sleigh is popped up for dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
