CAS Christmas July 2022 - Holiday Cheer

Hi everyone,

My Christmas card making keeps going on even though it's in the middle of summer and really hot where I live.

Our talented Designer, Barb (Barb's Studio Creations), is hosting this month's challenge, and her prompt is the most popular guy at Christmas time, Santa!


And here's my card:



[How I made the card]

1. Glimmer foiled the frame on the front panel with light blue foil.

2. Die-cut Santa, the sentiment banner, and the sentiment twice for each and glued them together for dimension.

3. Sponged the shadow with light blue ink on the front panel.

4. Glued Santa, the sentiment banner, and the sentiment to the front panel.

5. Spritzed shimmer spray over the front panel.

6. Adhered the entire panel to the card base.


You'll find more inspirations at the challenge site. Join this fun challenge, and you may get a special gift from your Santa this year! 😉
