Welcome to another fantastic Creative Inkers Blog Hop. This time we are doing a Christmas one to get you all excited for the up-coming season and of course to give you some great ideas for your own Christmas projects.
I have used the stamp set called Get Your Santa On from our new Holiday Catalogue.
For this first card I made it for a recent team training day held by Stampin Up as a swap. I kept it very simple as I made a few of them. I have used the Santa stamp and coloured him in using our Cherry Cobbler Blendabilites. I have then backed it on a scallop circle piece of cherry Cobbler cardstock. I have embossed the background using the Lucky Stars Textured embossing folder, also from the Holiday Catalogue. The sequin on his hat is from Frosted Sequins.
For the second card I have cased this one from pinterest by Kathleen Wingerson. I just love how it turned out. I have cut out a star in Red Shimmer card and also in Acetate and stuck them over a cut out piece on the card base. I have then used a glue dot and stuck the santa image to the acetate. I have used the Confetti stars punch to punch out the little stars scattered around the card. For the inset I have added back the star that was cut out of the front and stuck that on a piece of Cherry cobbler cardstock.

Oops. OI left my comment under the wrong post he he.
I think your card with the Santa on the acetate is very clever. It looks like he is mid air jumping for joy:)
I’m trying to not buy that santa set Narelle but you’re not helping! Thanks for getting us going with the blog hop!
Love that acetate Star Santa card. well done you!
I love the stars on both your cards – especially the shiny frame!
I love the way you’ve put Santa in the middle of the star and I particularly like the glittery edge. So nice to see different ideas.
Great cards :). I really like how the star is cut off the card stock. I may have to case this card style for my card class.
This Santa set is my absolute fave from the whole Holiday selection. I love what you have done with both cards – So many ideas – blog hopping is almost like brainstorming … I do apologise for breaking up the train tracks … I honestly forgot. 🙂
Love these Narelle! I was so tempted to get this set as its one cute Santa! Great job!
Love your Santa cards. Very cute and especially the one on the window sheet. Very creative.
