So Very Merry - Santa

This another card made with the So Very Merry and in my mind, I was thinking of Santa and his belt, but it might not represent what I had figured in my head. But oh well, I still like this card. This time I stamped the Santa stamp on Vellum but used Black Stazon. Then I turned it over to color him in with the Stampin' Blends. I used the sentiment from the Trucking Along set.

1. The base of the card is Real Red cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2. The second layer is Basic White cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.

3. Die-cut the 2^nd largest Nested Essentials Dies with Basic Black cardstock. Cut in half, and adhere to each side with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

4. Ink up the Santa stamp with Black Stazon and stamp on the Vellum. Immediately, clean off the stamp to remove the permanent ink before it dries.

5. Turn the Vellum over to color on the back with the Stampin’ Blends. Turn back over and add Wink of Stella to his beard and white parts on his cap. With Paper Snips, trim it out the circle.

6. Use the Silicone Craft Sheet to put Multipurpose Liquid Glue and use the Small Blending Brush to add the glue to the back of the Santa Vellum and then adhered it to the Gold Foil circle die-cut with the Stylish Shapes 2^nd to the largest circle die.

7. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhere to the center of the card.

8. Ink up the sentiment “Wishing You a Festive Christmas” from the Trucking Along Stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento on Basic White cardstock. Die-cut with the 2^nd largest banner die. Die-cut a Real Red banner die. Cut it in half and add to the back of the Basic White Banner at each end with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
