Happy Friday Everyone!
Summer appears to be over once again and with that brings my work colleagues' weekly countdown to Christmas. Every year I make a promise to myself that I will not leave everything until the last minute, and without out fail I let myself down...But not this year, this year I will succeed! The first step to my No Stress Christmas is cards...
Having bought some really cute sparkly foam Santa hat embellishments
from Hobbycraft that I had been dying to try I finally settled on a design, with a little inspiration from Pinterest, that I loved. Et Voila!
A simple but effective design, easy to make in a hurry and perfect for friends and work colleagues.
I started off with a Kraft card, I prefer these cards to white ones at
the moment, I think they work particularly well with glitter papers.
Next I punched a circle of red glitter paper to use as the Santa,
embellishing this with the belt. This is made from a piece of black card and
ring pull off of a fizzy drink can (this is my take on recycling).
Thread the black card through the ring pull, being careful to ensure it is
central.
The card is then simply embellished with the foam Santa hat and a Happy
Christmas sentiment, which is stuck down on 3D foam pads...It really is that simple!
If you want to get your hands on one of these cards for yourself then
please take a look at our Etsy shop for this and many other designs.
