Santa's Heavy Load

Photo Details

Poster: GailNM

Remember when we were all excited about our first circle and square dies? OMG, I could actually cut a circle or square in the middle of the card without that without a knife and template (which I never mastered). Now I have so many dies and I've totally forgotten about my circles and squares.

I have used my old and circle die and the really fancy scallop circle die to frame Santa. This is a very old PSX Santa Stamp that belongs to a friend and if she every wants to get rid of it, I would take it off her hands in a minute.

Gail, I LOVE this vintage Santa and how beautifully you've colored and shaded it. Couldn't be a prettier easel card on the planet.

This Santa has never looked better. You've colored him To perfection and framed him elegantly with your old and new dies and all the the extras. Beautiful card.
