Hi, Friends!

Today I am sharing with you a tutorial using a new stamp set from Whimsy Stamps called Santa and Stockings.  I am featuring Santa and Rudolph on my card today.



~ Step by Step ~

Cut white cardstock at 5 1/2" x 11" and score at 5 1/2" to create card base.

Stamp image and color with Copic Markers (See color list below).  Add white gel pen to Santa and Rudolph's noses for a highlight.  Add glitter to the snow on the chimney using a glue pen.  Trim around image leaving an 1/8" white border.  Set aside.

Cut white cardstock to 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to card base.  Cut white cardstock to 5 1/8" x 5 1/8", stamp Snow Flurry Background Stamp using Versamark Ink and emboss using Hologrpahic Embossing Powder.  Adhere to card.

Die cut white cardstock using the fourth largest die from the Notched Squares Die Set.  Die cut two pieces of white cardstock using the fourth largest circle die from the Pierced and Stitched Circles Die Set.  Adhere one circle to the middle of the notched square using repositionable adhesive for a mask.  Sponge Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Broken China, Dusty Concord, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Inks around the circle die cut.  Remove circle and throw away if you got ink on it.  Lay Snow Dangle Stencil on top of notched square and use Purple Tape to hold into place.  Using a spatula, spread Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste through the stencil.  Set aside to dry.  Add glitter to the second circle die cut using a glue pen.  Once glimmer paste is dry, adhere glittered circle die cut to notched square with the circle slightly overhanging over the bottom edge.  Trim off excess.  Adhere to card using foam tape.

Die cut white cardstock using the smallest triangle from the Shaker Maker Pennant Die Set.  Die cut the triangle again using the smallest triangle from the Shaker Maker Pennant Die Set to create the shaker window.  Add glitter to triangle using glue pen.  Adhere acetate to back of triangle.  Stamp out enough bricks of the chimney to fill in the inside of the triangle, trim out the bottom two layers of bricks and adhere to a scrap triangle piece of white cardstock.  Trim to fit triangle.  Color bricks with Copic Markers.  Add Diamond Dust on top of the bricks and adhere the triangle window using foam tape to create the shaker.  Adhere to card.

Adhere Santa and Rudolph to card using foam tape.

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial...Ho Ho Ho Happy Holly Daze!
