Yet another card made with an ebay purchase. The maker of this stamp is Rubber Stampede. Its titled "Country Santa" so I stuck with it. The wording is from a Recollections stamp found at Michaels last year. $1.00!! Just love it. I tried to stay closer to the typical Christmas colors this time around. I do possess an ounce or two of tradition within this body.
Couple of card details. I went pretty heavy on the shimmer spritz. And as usual, it can't be seen online but it's pretty in life. I also Stickled several areas of Santa's outfit but only a bit of it can be seen in the photo.
The circles were a real pain. I tried to make them with my circle cutter, but it wasn't cooperating or I don't know what I 'm doing. In any case, I got the idea to use two circular Spellbinders nested inside one another then ran them through the Cuttlebug. After that, I stuck them in an embossing folder and again through the Cuttlebug.
The word stamp needed some adjustment. The "ho ho hos" are spaced farther apart on the stamp. I had to use my stampamajig to bring them closer together. Handy little tool. I've only used it a few times but I really needed it when I did. Glad I have it. The words got Stickled too.
That's pretty much it. Have a great evening.
TFL!
