Old Fashioned Santa Card


I was reading a recent issue of Card Creations when I came across these adorable Santa cards. It really inspired me to try something similar. Something more "crafty" then just a stamp. I changed some things about the original card that was done. I added the cotton, for example, where the original used a crimper. Let me tell you, I had so much fun making this! In fact, this is one of the projects I taught at my stamp class last night. They seemed to really enjoy it too. I made the card 5 x 5 square simply because I had envelopes this size to accommodate it. I used Blush Blossom CS for the face. The moustache is a scallop punch cut in half and then put through the crimper. The nose is a 3/8 inch circle. You can make it any size you want using the same idea. Try one! I'm telling ya, it's really good therapy... lol! Hope your day is going okay... (hugs)
