Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round ~ Santa Ornament

  Hello and welcome to April's Christmas challenge

 at Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round. 

Our challenge this month is Gnomes/Santa/Elves.

Here is our inspiration pic ...

I decided to go with Santa and came up with this card.

I used the Christmas Ornament die from Marianne Design and cut out the ornament using gold mirri cardstock.  I also cut out additional trees and stars in green, red and gold cardstock, respectively.

This card has a beautiful shine to it but it sure was very hard for me to photograph.  Still want to do those photography classes sometime :-)  Even the Santa pic is made of a shiny cardstock.  It is from the 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, Mirri Magic Pad by Hunkydory.

I used the Swiss Dot embossing folder from Cuttlebug for the background and the Bows Punch die from Marianne Design to create the little bow on the ornament.  I topped it off with a tiny gold star.

On the inside, I used the bottom half of the Merry Christmas Tree die by Impression Obsession and used a left over tiny gold star to dot the "i".

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Now it's your turn to make a Christmas project, that falls within our challenge theme, and come play along with us.  You have till the end of the month to link your project to our blog at  Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round.
