There's a tutorial over on the
OWH Stars & Stamps blog to make this fun Santa christmas card. Black & red card stock, a fun sentiment, a soda can tab, ribbon, button brads, and a white "beard" done with a SB oval die and a CB embossing folder were the only ingredients for this fun card! I'll be making a few more of these for sure!
This card meets 2 challenges. I used the
I Spy Sketches ISSC28, as well as the
OWH Stars and Stamps mid-week throwdown challenge to use kraft, plus 1 or 2 more colors. I strayed a bit from the sketch, but I used the last piece of kraft I had, and it was a bit smaller than it should have been. I used some espresso and teal card stock, adding embossing with the diamond plate and herringbone ef's from CB, and added a
SNSS sentiment, along with a ribbon slide that was done with a Quickutz die.
That's going to do it for me today, but thanks for stopping by and have a great middle of the week!

Ooh, the diamond plate pattern is a great idea! I'm always on the lookout for ideas for masculine cards, so this is one motif that I'm definitely going to keep in mind. My husband would love it!
that santa is too cute...I did ones like that years ago with a velvet paper...they cost a fortune...loving the pop tab buckle too! great idea!
Great cards, Carol, your Santa card is so cute...
Great cards! Love the kraft and teal card, I might have to CASE it for a cool guy card.

Way to go, Carol! I love both of these! Thanks for playing along with the Santa card! Love your masculine card too... Diamond plate is one of my favorite embossing patterns.
