Color Me Christmas Santa

November 11, 2013 By Connie | 1 Comment

I love this set, Color Me Christmas, the more and more I work with it. At first I thought it was almost too childish…but with a new grandbaby, I'd figure I would still use it. But, it really has turned more whimsical than childish in my mind! Here's a card I did using the Santa for the first time. I'm thinking I'll make my Santa tags with him this year…was quick and easy to color! I also used the new photopolymer stamp set, Christmas Tagables for the greetings.

Here are the details.

The base of the card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 of Cherry Cobbler cardstock, folded in half.
I added a 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Whisper White on top.
Next is a 2 1/4 x 5" strip of Season of Style Designer Paper, cut with a flag end.
I stamped the Santa from Color Me Christmas with Black Stazon on Whisper White, then watercolored with Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Blush Blossom, and Basic Black Stampin' Write Markers. I cut with the Circle Framelits.
I also cut Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler and Silver Glimmer Circles with the Circle Frameits.
The Merry Christmas banner and 25 come from the Christmas Tagables set and I stamped them with Basic Black or Cherry Cobbler. The 25 is punched with the 3/4" Circle and adhered to the Silver Glimmer Paper with Monoadhesive.

Isn't he fun? Pretty quick and easy card to make, too!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 23 years and just had my 22nd Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
