Santa’s Workshop Suite – Signs of Santa Bundle

Yesterday in my  Card Swap Sunday Series I shared a card using the new bundle called Santa's Workshop which is featured in the upcoming Holiday Catalogue. Today I'm sharing another cute card using these products.

The Signs of Santa stamp set is adorable and the images can be cut out with the matching Santa's Signpost Framelits so no fussy cutting. When you purchase the stamps and framelits together in a bundle you save 10% off the price.

If you'd rather not stamp and colour your images you can use the framelits to cut out images from the Santa's Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper. Isn't that awesome!

I love how these colours go together. You can draw inspiration for colour combinations by check out the coordinating colours for Designer Series Paper which are listed below the each paper pack in the catalogues.

 

The Santa's Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper is playful, hand-drawn designs with white flocking on one side of four sheets. Each package contains 12 sheets, 2 each of 6 double-sided designs. Can you see the elves and Mrs. Clause in the picture? The Framelits cut them out perfectly.  

Here's how I made today's card:

Poppy Parade – 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"; scored at 4 1/4" to create card base

3. Banner cut the left edge of the ribbon and glue ribbon on top of DSP affixing to the back of the Coastal Cabana.
