Double D - SANTA and/or SNOWMAN

Dear Ones~
The new challenge over at Double D is SANTA and/or SNOWMAN. Ho, Ho, Ho, lets see what you come up with, lots of possibilities.Will it be Frosty or Santa, or both??? Here is the Mood Board for our inspiration:
This is my card:
I pulled out one of my favorite background dies again. I LOVE the look of this, so much fun. The die is by a company called Kokorosa, but I cannot find the name. I'm thinking it might be retired, which is a shame. This is a good one. The Santa is a Tim Holtz freebie from last year. I scribbled my alcohol inks on white paper and then die cut the pieces. So easy, no shuffling through all my colored card stock to find just the right color.




The Ingredients:
 GKD Black Card Stock
Tim Holtz Gold Metallic Card Stock
SU 'Tis the Season Patterned Paper
Kokorosa Background Die
Tim Holtz Be of Good Cheer Santa Die Set
GKD Christmas Cheer Stamp for Greeting
 
 
 
 
 
 If you head on over to the  Double D Challenge Blog and play along, you could win this Creative Expressions Flourish Mini Stencil.  Also, don't forget to check out all the beautiful cards the other designers have created.
 
So, until next time dear readers, ASPIRE to be INSPIRED. 
Here's celebrating your CREATIVE MUSE!!

  6. I love this dye as well as everyone else who mentioned it. You have to know that you are a master at taking design paper and making it match so well. I envy that in you. You gave Santa a regal place to land in the center of your card. I did notice that you matched those plaids in the background. Very nice touch A very merry Christmas to you and Rob Looking forward to seeing your cards in 2026

  7. This is the most beautiful die of this sort that I can recall seeing and I love when you use it! This with the Christmas paper is splendid, and Santa nestled in there makes it very fun. What a gorgeous card and a great way to use your paper. Merry Christmas, Judy!

  8. That is a fantastic die and one I would buy in a heartbeat if it was available, Judy. It reminds me of quilting which is something I love to do. Your choice of papers really makes the design stand out and who wouldn't love the cute Santa face.
