I was really in a Christmas mood doing this gallery. I've admired this Santa image for a couple of years and I was finally able to find one. I stamped Santa (RS), the bg snowflakes (Stampendous cube) and the greeting (SG) w/ the red ink. On the snowflake bg, I overstamped it using some solid snowflake dots (HA).
I used red linen c/s to layer everything and a border punch (MS) under Santa. I drew a semi circle shape on the white layer, edged it w/ a red pen and used the snowflake folder to emboss it. Three faux brads were punched and rounded before attaching.
The sentiment was cut w/ a Spellbinders circle die and it's attached to a scallop circle cut out of the red velveteen ribbon. I used a CB lattice die to cut a strip of this ribbon. It was a little tough to cut and I left some of the lattice in place to get the diamonds. It's attached to white satin ribbon. A big snowflake was added as well as some stickles. Finished card is 6.5 x 5.

My most favorite Santa stamp of all time!! Love it in the red. You have outdone yourself this month, and that is a hard mark to reach since everything was outstanding last month as well. LOL

This is one of my favorite Santa images, and your card truly does him justice! Love how you used just red and white to make such a stunning beauty! The mix of Cuttlebug embossed snowflakes and stamped snowflakes background is wonderful!

Outstanding! I love the Santa image done in red on white! The snowflake BG piece is great and I love the die cut, red velveteen ribbon layered on white!

You truly made this red and white card come alive Julie. I have a little aversion to Santa - don't let everyone know - it's a childhood issue - where's my shrink???? But, I must say, you've done a spectacular job with this that I may reconsider my negativity towards Jolly Ole St. Nick!! TFS!
