Hi everyone. It's Monday again and time for a new Merry Monday Challenge (#81). Is it me ... or are the weeks going by faster and faster as we approach Christmas?? :) Thankfully I have quite a stash of cards made now ... but still have time to make more - yay!!
This week's challenge is a theme ...
I didn't have any Santa stamps ... when I told my hubby, he was actually shocked!! :) I have a room full of supplies, and he knows that Christmas cards are my favorite, so he thought I'd have several Santa stamps to choose from ... but, sadly no. So, I checked out a few of my favorite digi stamp stores and found the adorable Santa that's on my card ... the name is actually "Cute Santa with present". Cute is right. I had a lot of fun coloring him with copics. I paper pieced the gift and stocking and then added stickles to the ribbon and stocking cuff to make them glittery. I love Paper Smooches sentiments ... they are perfect for whimsical cards, and it definitely fit this image. A little more patterned paper at the top and a knot of twine and I was done. Easy, peasy and so much fun!!
Here's a close-up:
Stamps: Cute Santa with present (Digi Stamp Boutique); Christmas Sampler (Paper Smooches)
Paper: White, Be of Good Cheer DP - retired (SU!)
Ink: Basic Black, Silver metallic, Copics: Coo, E01, R20, R29
Accessories & Tools: clear stickles, Maraschino Twine (The Twinery)
I hope you'll check out the other fabulous DT cards on Lesley's blog (Always Playing with Paper). So much inspiration to get your creative juices flowing. And ... I hope you'll join our fun challenge! :)

Such a cute Santa! I can't believe you don't have a single Santa stamp! But having said that, I only have two and I have a lot of Christmas stamps. Great paper piecing!
Isn't it shocking when we find that we need a stamp we don't have, and thought that we must have?!! Great time for a digi. This was adorable, and done with your usual expert style. Love that paper piecing & your glitter really sparkled. TFS
