I can't believe Thanksgiving is behind us! Now to concentrate on holiday decorating and tag making! But I still see some challenges that I want to enter and I do have some time right now, so here is a card for the Time Out Challenges #252 Winter/Holiday! I am also playing along at the As You See It Challenge #312 Christmas theme.
I am a big fan of The Greetery's Destination series of stamps and dies. This is my first time using my North Pole set. The street names and candy canes are my favorite elements along with excited Santa for the arrival of Christmas this year.
The Greetery: Destination: North Pole stamp, stencil and die sets
My Favorite Things: Jingle All the Way stamp set (Santa)
Sugar Pea Designs: Card Front Element Builder dies (stitched asymmetrical edge die)
Copic markers
Alternew: Artist Markers
Versafine: Onyx Black ink pad
Concord and 9th: Mini ink pads
Blending brushes
Patterned paper scrap
First I stenciled, stamped and die cut using The Greetery products. Then I stamped and Copic-colored Santa. I had to fussy cut him because I "colored outside of the lines" today. LOL.
Using the stitched asymmetrical die, I took a top-folding A2 card base and die cut the front panel. Then I die cut the other panel where I created my scene to match the card front. I adhered the stenciled panel to the card front, then added Santa dancing off the edge. Last, I added a blue snow-patterned paper to the inside of the back of the card. Santa is having a ball getting ready for Christmas at the North Pole!
I will see you back here soon while I work on (aka: play with) Christmas stamping and other preparations!

Just adorable, Carol, and I love those destination sets from The Greetery! I think you've done some others with these sets that I've also fallen in love with - this is just as delightful! Love that capering Santa, too, lol. Thanks so much for playing at As You See It!
I love your shaped card, Carol and how Santa is one of the supports! By the way, he is adorable! The candy cane map is a great point of interest! Thanks for playing along at As You See It Challenges!
Santa looks so very jolly, all set to party. I love the street names too - they take an already fantastic die and step it up even further. Love this! Thanks for sharing it with us at As You See It.
