Simple Santa idea for CutCardStock
Hello everyone – this Simple Santa idea for CutCardStock card is adorable!
I really wanted to add ink to the raised striped but no matter what I tried I ended up with ink on more than the stripes. The candy cane stripes would have been so fun for his background.
Today’s Project
I love this image of Santa. I have had it a few years and can’t wait to use him on my cards. I could not find him one year and thought I had lost him but he showed up the next year. Now I make sure to put him in my Christmas collection so I have him every year. He is a simple but adorable image. I inked him up with Versafine Clair Nocturne and stamped him on a white panel. He was mounted on a red panel. You could add some sparkle to his beard to give it some bling.
I had a striped embossing folder in my stash and knew it would be great as a background. Tried everything to ink the stripes with red to make it look like a candy cane but did not have any success. Anyone have any suggestions for me? To finish it off I added some gold sequins.
CutCardStock has so many beautiful shades of red and green for fabulous Christmas cards. Here is an idea that uses one of the shades of green as a background for the pattern paper. If you would rather use pinks instead of red, then here is a beautiful pink idea.
