Merry Christmas



 
Hello and welcome! It's time for a new challenge at CAS Christmas! Barb is our hostess this month and she's looking for that jolly old elf, Santa!


Can you believe I have not one Santa in my collection? I did recently purchase this adorable Santa Shaker die from The Stamp Market so I was good to go! I embossed the card base and part of the hat with a pretty 3D EF from SSS. Lots of Stickles went onto the white portions of the hat ~ so sparkly! I pulled out my favorite Christmas sentiment set from The Greetery to finish off my card. 

Wishing all of my US friends a Happy 4th of July weekend! If you squeeze in some stamping time, we sure hope you'll join us!

That is a great interpretation of the Santa challenge, Lisa! Love your embossed background and the repeat of the embossing on the Santa hat. I bet it's really sparkly in real life with the stickles on it!

Amazing card...like everyone said, the EF is fabulous and what a great way to have that hat, the one thing that shouts SANTA on your card, also embossed. Great design!

What a fantastic take on the theme! I love the embossing in the background and on the hat. Love the way you did the trim, and the sentiment in red is just perfect. LOVE it.
