The card I’m sharing today with you uses the Festive Friends Bundle (an Online Exclusive). I did another card last Friday using the snowman, and you can see the card here. I also used Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Branching Out Dies, and Faceted Snowflakes (an Online Exclusive).
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock (this cardstock is an Online Exclusive). Next, I layered a piece of Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (this paper is gorgeous with accents of gold foil on some of the designs) to a piece of Real Red Cardstock. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the Santa onto Basic White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Ink and the Festive Friends stamp set. I colored the Santa using Stampin’ Blends: Light (for his face and hands), Basic Black Dark (for his boots) and Real Red Dark for this hat and jacket). It’s very important to use something under when you color with Stampin’ Blends because it bleeds through (like our grid paper). I cut the Santa out using the Festive Friends Dies. Then, I set the Santa aside.
I used the Branching Out Dies to cut a shape out of Basic White cardstock using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (the third smallest die). I stamped the sentiment near the bottom of the shape using the Festive Friends stamp set in Real Red ink. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Santa and adhered him to the Branching Out shape.
To complete my card, I added three Faceted Snowflakes (in Cherry Cobbler) around the Santa!
