I slipped up and bought some more stamps but this time from Vinted because they were a bargain and clearly brand new for just £6 including the postage.
I’ve been looking for a cute Santa stamp as I’ve got rid of all the ones I had and spotted this set of stamps from Avery Elle and knew they were perfect for making some cute Christmas cards. This was my first play.
I grabbed some dsp from the stash (think one is magazine paper and the other is SU) and made a few layers onto the card and a piece of white which I had put through the Waffleflower piercing die. Then stamped Santa onto the white and coloured him with promarkers and stampin blends.
The sentiment is from the set too and I coloured some scrap white with the grey promarkers to give a border mat for the words.
I then used some circles I had saved from another project using the zero waste leaf die and added them as embellishments and added some wink of Stella to make them sparkle!
Love the cute Santa and also love this relatively flat and simple card. Think I can see me using him plenty of times for when I want to do cute. I don’t have the coordinating dies but the images are easy to cut out and the colouring is also simple to do with only a few colours needed.
Happy crafting!
