Merry Monday #81 {Santa!!!!!}


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!!! 
  1. Each week there will be a brand new challenge posted on Monday at 5am (PST).
  2. Each participant is encouraged to comment on 3 cards in the Gallery. (Who doesn't love comments!)
  3. Neutral colours and any product is welcome.
  4. Have fun!
  5. 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.

  18. I 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.
