Ok. I did this for the wt challenge moustache it up. I was stumped at first, but then thought, -- hey Santa has a moustache. So I started building my Santa. He started small. I really didn't intend for the card to get this big. I started of with his head using doodle charms cricut cart., and that was small, but as I built him he just got bigger and bigger. Kind of like what eating cookies does for me! The rest of my Santa is made with a combo of ribbon, google eyes, ef folder, various punches, spellbinders scallops, scallop scissors, spellbinders label #? and stickles. I even used a can of shaving cream to trace around to get just the right size circle for the arms, and then cut them into arm shapes. I popped his moustache (hence the challenge), and I was going to stickle just his moustache. But, I got started and the little glitter monster that lives in me took over and I lost all control. Everything got stickled! I had lots of fun making this card. I hope everyone who sees it enjoys it as much as I did. By the way, the inside says, "... you have been naughty or nice."
Thanks for looking!

Oh my goodness - what a brilliant idea! I was totally stumped on this one too when a trawl through my stamps came up with zero, and even some retro paper I thought might bail me out didn't. Going with Santa is a genius idea and nets you a great Christmas card for your stash too.
