~ Santa Claus is Coming to Town ~

You better watch out,

You better not cry,

Better not pout,

I'm telling you why:

Santa Claus is comin' to town.

He's making a list

And checking it twice,

Gonna find out

Who's naughty and nice.

Santa Claus is comin' to town.

He sees you when you're sleepin',

He knows when you're awake,

he knows if you've been bad or good,

So be good for goodness sake.

You better watch out,

You better not cry,

Better not pout,

I'm telling you why:

Santa Claus is comin' to town.

I'm making a few more advent cards and thought this one would be perfect for this challenge.

I used the Advent Calendar die from Hunkydory.  The image is from the Advent Calendar Paper Pack.  These are awesome as they include the card fronts, the window reveal backing papers, and matching card inserts. Each paper pack has enough papers to make 12 cards.

Here is a close up.  It's super cute.  A little Advent Calendar in the form of a Christmas card 😊  Using the window reveal sheet behind each card front, makes it so that you can open a little window each day to display a fun and festive image.  I didn't want to open these little windows, but if you want to take a look at another card I made, you can follow this link.  There you will be able to see some of the cute images behind each little window.  Each backing sheet matches the advent card front.

I made this card to be an easel card.  On the matching insert sheet, I stamped a sentiment using a stamp from the Christmas Sayings stamp set from Creative Expressions.  The little stopper for the easel element was cut using punches from StampinUp and the little Merry Christmas greeting is a stamp from the Tiny Tidings stamp set from Cardz TV.

Each image paper is 6" x 6".  I trimmed them down to 5.5" x 5.5" as I wanted a small  gold border around it.  I then adhered it all to a 6" x 6" red card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Now it's your turn to make a Christmas project,  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.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

Safe travels to all who will be on the road, rail, air or water!
