Cute Santa....

Here's the result of my new Santa die.  I used a stitched circle die and a scallop circle die to pair up for a background to pop the Santa off from the red background.  I chose grey as its the in color plus it was used to bring out the detail in his beard.  I dug out my snow pen and used the heat gun to create the 3D look and added glitter for some sparkle.

Such a friendly cute Santa !... Red Gingham background paper is one of my favorites all year round.  I found the perfect sentiment  - Holly Jolly die for my card...

Getting ready ...

Love this card.  I have a new embossing folder that has snowflakes smaller in scale and closer together to create a real snowy feeling.  I used dies and punches to create the snowman, greeting, and snowflake.  A touch of bling to the center of the snowflake finished it off.  I also used my white gel pen to perk up the scarf a little !
