Christmas In July #2


Hey!

Here is another Christmas card that we made for OWH. This adorable santa comes from the Holiday Button Bits set from PTI. Anyone who has seen some of our cards knows that we absolutely LOVE buttons. After using the Everyday Button Bits set so much, we decided it would be great to have a button set for the holidays. I stamped this santa twice, so that I could cut out the head and its beard to mount on top of the red button. I colored his body using a Copic Marker. Using a foam dimensional sticker, I then attached the colored head piece on top of the stamped body. This made the santa look really 3D. The button is a Pure Poppy button from PTI. I stamped the background using A Little Argyle also from PTI. I punched the santa using Marvy circle punches and then backed it with a red scalloped circle. To add a final touch, I used flocking powder on his beard and on the trim of his suit. This added a nice fluffy look to the final product. I hope you enjoy!
