Welcome to my weekly Christmas card Challenge called "Merry Monday"! Each week, I post a challenge to inspire you to create a Christmas card for your Christmas card stash! This week it is all about the "Big Guy" himself...the Jolly Old Elf...Santa!!!
- Each week there will be a brand new challenge posted on Monday at 5am (PST).
- Each participant is encouraged to comment on 3 cards in the Gallery. (Who doesn't love comments!)
- Neutral colours and any product is welcome.
- Have fun!
- Follow the weekly challenge closely to complete a Christmas card.
For my card, I dug out a Stampin' Up set I purchased last year and I think I only used it once! Ack! So I inked it up in Cherry Cobbler ink and added a poinsettia made with my 5 petal punch. I kept the design, clean and simple, adding some flags to the base of my card. The sentiment is a SRM sticker of course! A quick and easy card to make. The main panel with Santa is 3"x 4".
This is our final week with Featured Designer, Sandy Mathis! I am in shock, really! I have barely had the chance to connect with her and already she is leaving us. Thank you Sandy for your gorgeous cards and teamwork!! I love your work!
And a special welcome to Kim Singdahlsen, who is joining us as this week's Guest Designer.
Love how you were inspired...gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteStunning card Lesley! That Santa image with the children is gorgeous! Love that your card is so simple yet so detailed all the same. Great challenge this week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Lesley! I love the soft neutrals with the red and the pearls in the poinsettia are a fabulous touch!
ReplyDeleteI think I have the same Santa stamp Lesley, but I don't think it has seen any ink yet. Must do something about that! You have given me some inspiration to go find it. I like how you used just the two colours to design your card.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely DT and participant cards this week ladies - who knew Santa could be so versatile!
ReplyDeleteLovin' all these Santa cards. And so many different images. Great DT samples.
