I made this for the monthly Christmas Challenge for Fan Club members at Splitcoast & if you’re a Fan Club member, you can check out all the details HERE.

For my Christmas card, I couldn’t wait to color this wonderful image. Since I was in the middle of moving, I didn’t have a chance to make as many Christmas cards as I wanted so this challenge is perfect. After I colored Santa, I used the smallest of the Grand Labels 1 die to cut a frame out of the blue layer. I thought it needed something, so I die cut a decorative labels 1 out of black & used the largest of the Labels 1 to cut out the middle of it & make a double frame for Santa.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Today’s Free for All (F4A357) is to create a nighttime or night before card. This is definitely the Night Before…it’s night outside the window & Santa is delivering his presents. I’m also adding it to yesterday’s Ways to Use It..windows, since there is a window looking out. This is such a wonderful scene & it took me a while to color it all..then a really bad thing happened & ruined it. So I started all over. Don’t you hate it when that happens?
Since it’s pretty much a card covering scene, I stamped just the one line over the top & added two narrow layers. Below is a a look at the inside & underneath it are the Copics I used. Yep..a whole lotta colors going on here.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a very Merry Christmas!

Welcome to the North Coast Creations November Release! We have some really cute new Christmas images & a matching Reindeer die this month! You are really going to love these for your Christmas card making.

On my Santa Star card, I decided to make it into a shaker card. I really love shakers & I think they add a little something extra & kids love them. The shaker on this was made using a cellophane pouch I made out of a little envelope that embellishments come in. There’s not a lot of depth or bulk to it so it’s definitely mailable. 

After die cutting the white top panel w/ the Double Stitched Rectangles, I positioned the largest Double Stitched Star die at an angle toward the top. The largest Sparkling Star die was used to cut the red frame behind it & I used the smallest star dies to die cut all the sparkly stars I put inside the shaker. After sealing it, I attached it behind the star opening & added a thin foam sheet under it give it a bit of room. I added a green paper star behind it before I attached it all to the striped paper. Santa was colored w/ Copics & fussy cut. The greeting was stamped on another star & the glittery presents added beside Santa.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.


Supplies:

For my Rudolph card, after stamping & coloring him, he was die cut w/ the matching die. I found some paper in my stash that had a row of little red nosed reindeer on it so I cut just that strip & found some other papers that coordinated w/ it. The greeting was stamped on a Stitched Oval & backed w/ a plain Oval & I thought it needed a little something extra so I die cut the stars using the Splendorous Stars & Shining Star dies.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
