2020 Christmas Countdown | Day 48 (Here Comes Santa)

Good morning!

With less than a week to go it’s time to announce the impending arrival of a certain gentleman…

Card | Handmade by Natty | Crate Paper Hey Santa

Paper: Crate Paper – Hey Santa
Chipboard: Crate Paper – Peppermint (r)
Stamp: Simon Says Stamp – Tiny Words Christmas
Dies: Neat & Tangled – Skinny Strips (r), Pinkfresh Studio – Ornate Oval Frame

Inspired by one of the patterns in the Hey Santa paper pad by Crate Paper, I wanted to use the Ornate Oval Frame from Pinkfresh Studio as a focal point for a slightly more vintage Santa from another Crate Paper collection.

This time a chipboard cut-out from the Peppermint Christmas collection.

It’s great to finally use some of these chipboard pieces as I rarely use chipboard on my cards these days.

They’ve reminded me how easy it is to add dimension, without just using 3D foam tape for anything. Plus this Santa fit perfectly in the frame, even his belly nestled right inside the curve of the frame. Meant to be.

I added a sentiment from the Tiny Words Christmas stamp set – heat embossed in white on Jade cardstock from The Stamp Market – a perfect match for the green in the background to this collection. 🙂

Finally, for a little extra detail I added black Nuvo drops on the eyes and buttons, and dimensional glitter paint on the pompom of his hat.

And then I stepped away so as not to add anything more that would make it look overly busy. 😉

Happy crafting, until next time!

Thanks for your lovely comment, Donna, it’s a great set and I hope you enjoy making many cups of cocoa…

Great card! I recently purchased this die set so your card caught my eye. Wish I could create with those…

I definitely have! Although I’ve now run out of projects to share until I’m back at my craft desk again.…

Thank you so much Joanne!, it wouldn’t be Christmas without a bit of pink. 🙂

About my project supply lists

I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I’ve used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list.
In my supply lists, I link to several stores in the UK and US and am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, The Greetery, Concord & 9th, Altenew, Spellbinders US and UK, and Amazon UK. This means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase, I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund, which includes hosting this blog.
Please note that any products marked “(r)” are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.
Following the transition of my old blog, Kool Kitty Musings, to Handmade by Natty, the supply lists in those posts may have missing images and out of date links. There is no easy fix for this, I’m afraid – but you can still see which stores stocked the items in question at the time of posting.
I also list the stores I regularly use and have affiliate links for here.
