Here's my card for Judy's TLC challenge - No Stamps!
I saw this design in my 'just arrived' Oriental Trading Company catalog - they sell a kit to make 25 cards - theirs are 7 1/4 x 5 1/4 but I made mine 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".
The white 'fur' is a glittery white paper by DCWV.
I made the gold buckle out of a piece of gold cardboard that was on the bottom of a little gourmet cake from Finales (A dessert restaurant in Boston). I cut a square and punched out the middle with a square punch.
The cute tag by Making Memories says 'Santa Claus is Coming' - I added a sticky gold pearl to the hole at the top and adhered it to the card with foam tape.

Adorable Santa card and you are so clever using those materials like that! I especially like that gold "buckle" you made from the cake box! I also think making something that you saw in a magazine, without directions, and it looks so great, shows your creativity and your skill in crafting! Awesome card!

Terrific!!!! I love the repourposed gold cardboard! Now I wonder what flavor yummy cake was in the Finales box- was it naughty or nice? Devil's food or angel cake?
