Long Tall Santa

Hi Bloggers.

I have a Christmas card for you today made up from leftover demo bits -

For the background, I used a square piece of Coconut White Card cut using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares. I popped a little Tarnished Gold CS Shimmer Paint onto my Craft Sheet. I picked it up onto a Natural Sponge and dabbed it all over my background. I repeated the process with Silver CS Shimmer Paint. Next, I popped some Victorian Red CS Shimmer Paint onto my Craft Sheet. I picked it up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and dabbed it through the Pine Needles Mask. I also edges the card with the Victorian Red Paint. I matted onto Black Card and then anouther piece of Coconut White.

I stamped the sentiment from the Woodware Long Tall Santa Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Onyx Black Versafine Ink and embossed using CS Matt Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Sue's Double Pierced Squares and added it to my card using CE Mounting Cushion.

I stamped my stanta from the Long Tall Santa Die Set onto Coconut White Card using Onyx Black Versafine Ink and embossed using CS Matt Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Victorian Red Shimmer Paint, Opaque White and Black Sakura Glaze Pens, Tattered Rose Distress Marker and Diamond Snow Glitter Jewels. I added Santa to my card using CE Mounting Cushion.

Santa in Blue on a Pixie Textured Background

Hi Bloggers.

My favourite Santa is making an appearance on this card -

For the background, I popped the North Pole Mask onto a piece of Coconut White Card and secured it with some Low Tack Tape. I spread CS Clear Texture Paste through it. Leaving the mask in place, I worked quickly, sprinkling Aubergine Dream and Aqua Lagoon Pixie Powders over. I removed the mask and washed it under the tap and put my background aside to dry (approx 2 hours). Once dry, I edged it with Faded Jeans Distress Oxide using a Smoothie. I matted onto Black Card and then onto Coconut White Card.

I dusted a piece of Coconut White Card with an Anti-Static Pad. I stamped the elements from the Woodware Cheeky Santa Stamp Set using Onyx Black Versafine, added CS Matt Clear Embossing Powder and heat set. I coloured Santa's face by scribbling a little Tattered Rose Distress Marker onto my Craft Sheet and picking the colour up with a Water Brush. I coloured his furry bits on his hat using Opaque White Sakura Gelly Roll Pen adding CS Diamond Snow while the ink was still wet. I coloured hit hat using Sky, Blue and Silver Sakura Stardust Pens. I edged his beard with Silver Stardust Pen.

I coloured the parcels using Sky, Blue, Pink and Silver Stardust Pens.

I cut the sentiment out using a die from Sue Wilson's Essential Pierced Rectangles. Leaving the die in place, I drew around the inside line with the Blue Stardust Pen.

Paper Cuts Merry Christmas Santa Bauble

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I cut 5 of the snowflakes from the Paper Cuts Snowflake Frame and the little snowflakes from the Paper Cuts Merry Christmas Santa Bauble out of Coconut White Card. I glued all of them (except one) to a piece of Midnight Blue Peal Card and put aside for a few minutes for the glue to dry.

I cut the outer die from the Merry Christmas Santa Bauble Die Set out of Rich Red Card. I cut the outer and inner die plus the Merry Christmas insert out of Coconut White and also the moustache piece. I kept the waste from the face, hat trim and hat bobble. I glued the white santa die cu tto the Rich Red die cut. I scribbled some Tattered Rose Distress Marker onto my Craft Sheet and picked the ink up using a Water Brush. I used this to paint the face and the nose. I glued the face in place.

I added Woodware Fluffy Stuff to the hat bobble, hat trim and moustache and heated. I glued these to my Santa and added 5mm Black Pearls for the eyes. I added my remaining snowflake to the hat and a Baker's Twine Bow.

Going back to my background, I ran it through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the Creative Expressions Nordic Tiles Embossing Folder. I matted onto Coconut White Card, Rich Red Card and then another piece of Coconut White Card and added my Santa.

I edged my background with CS Glue and added CS Apple Red Glitterbitz. I completed my card by adding some Apple Red CS Twinkles to the snowflakes.

The winner of the card (plus mystery card) from Freebie Friday on 8th September is.............
