Naughty Or Nice?!?!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....well not quite just yet, but totally in the card making department.

I used that great Sketch again from the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge and combined it with the Stamp TV Challenge to make a monochromatic project and the Great Impressions November Challenge, Holiday Card or Tag.


And here is what I came up with:

 
He is a Jolly Old Soul!  The stamps are from the Wishing You Joy set available from Gina K Designs.  Stamped in Riding Hood Red ink from Stampin' Up!  I fussy cut the die stamp shape and added layers using Scalloped Circles by Spellbinders, and Santa is stamped on a Classic Circle die.  I like the way the scalloped circle is just a tad smaller than the stamped die image, leaving a little bit of a white pattern all around.  See it?  Just a teeny tiny bit.  Designer Papers by Echo Park, Holly Jolly Christmas and Season's Greetings.  The sentiment is white embossing powder.  I then added glitter to Santa's hat and beard, I neglected his mustache but I think he looks just fine. 
 
Check out these Challenges, it's so easy to create with GREAT products and GREAT sketches!
 
Ho Ho Ho!  Come again!  (pretty please!)
 
Oh and in case you were wondering.....I will not be checking off the box until I figure out WHO I will be sending this to.....now who's naughty!?!?  lol

  4. As I said on Facebook, I LOVE this stamp set from last year and wish I would have gotten it. You have really put it to good use here. Stamping the Santa in red and not coloring it works perfectly. And I love the whole mono thing going in. Super cute!!
