Santa on his way

I love Christmas but don't start decorating or listening o Christmas music until after Thanksgiving but if you make your own Christmas cards it is time to get started!

Santa will be here in 6 weeks and the Stampendous team is celebrating all week long!

Today I am sharing an easy peasy card that I made with the new 

Santa On His Way from Stampendous. 

I colored the image with Prisma colored pencils and blended with gamsol and blending stumps.

I used Marvy Liquid applique for the snow on the tree.

Then I just made even layers with red, yellow, and green cardstock.

Lot's more info, inspiration and links to awesome new Santa projects over on the

Here it is when you flip it open.

The sentiment is Bold Seasons Greetings.

The patterned paper is from a 6"pad by The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.
