Snoozing Santa

Only 15 days till Christmas!! Ahhh..... are you all ready?!

How about sharing another Christmas card? (Well, I am certainly not ready if I am still making Christmas cards!! Hee hee! ^_^)


Doesn't Santa look sweet when he is asleep? I used the clear stamp 'Snoozing Santa' by Helz Cuppleditch for this card. To take some of the thinking out of me, I used the sketch C014 from Crafts 4 Eternity Recipe Challenge #153.

I had fun making this card. As this is quite a large image, I decided to paper piece the majority of it. This also gave me the chance to use up lots of little scraps of paper from my snippet folder so that I can join in the fun at Pixies Snippets Playground - Week 102.


Santa's face, hands, outfit, hat, socks, cat and rim of the sofa are coloured in by using Copic markers. The rest are paper pieced. (Well, I did colour in the polka dots too.) The "For Santa" tag is propped up by using sticky foam. Then, a layer of Glossy Accent has been added. Crystal Stickles has also been added on the white part of Santa's hat. What else? Oh~ the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's Cozy Christmas stamp set and backing papers are free gifts from craft magazines.

I am also entering this card to
Now these Christmas cards are made, maybe it is about time to write them! ^_^ Have a nice day!
