Ho Ho Ho--TTS40

April 17, 2015

I made a promise to myself that I would make a Christmas card every week.  Well, that hasn't happened lately.  But, this week with so much rain, I have more time to play in my craft room.  I thought the sketch was so much fun at
Tis The Season so I looked through my Christmas stash and decided to make a card!

The "North Pole" clear stamp set by Avery Elle is one of my favorite Christmas stamps.  I am a huge Santa fan.  I like this set because it has 3 different hats for Santa to wear.  I love the Ho, Ho, Ho one, but believe it or not, I lost it at Christmas time when I was making cards.  I was so sad!  I dug through the garbage looking for it and turned my craft room upside down.  It was just gone. --- I gave up and figured I would have to buy another set to replace that hat stamp.  Well, the other day, I pulled out a few items that I never use and there was the hat die stuck to the back of a package.  YIPPEE!  I was so excited!  Don't you just love it when something like that happens?  It really is the little things!  LOL!  

After stamping my Santa, I colored him with Copic Markers and added some Wink of Stella for shine.  I used Marvy Snow Marker on his fur to give it some dimension.  I just think it is amazing how they created that fantastic embellishment.  I found the yellow and black star papers in my stash of papers. I am not sure where they came from.  Sorry!  This was a very easy card to make, but I think it shouts out Merry Christmas even if the colors are non-traditional!

I lined an envelope with the matching papers.  I think it adds a fantastic finish to any card.

So thankful you stopped by my blog today.  Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.  It means so much to me to hear from you!

Have a FANTASTIC FRIDAY!

Happy Stampin'
