"stache-ing" through the snow

 

How can you not love that cheery Santa face with the big, curly mustache? I used Real Red and Blush Blossom markers to color Santa's face and hat.

 

This Garden Green card uses a strip of Real Red card stock with a skinnier strip of Nordic Noel Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from the Santa Stache stamp set, as is the Santa. The words stamped on a Whisper White strip, cut like a banner and stapled on. This card is CASE'd from fellow SU! demo Cynthia Richards here: http://www.inkadoodlecreations.blogspot.com/2014/09/stache-ingly-fun-christmas.html.

 

I'm taking this as my swap to my Stampin' Up! group gathering tomorrow, along with a Crock Pot of chili. Yum! We haven't met for a couple of months, so I'm looking forward to seeing everybody. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Goin' nutty this Christmas

 

Honestly, I love the bold lines and look of the images in the Santa Stache stamp set. They're easy to color, and you can "pop" the mustache. The sentiments are terrific too.

 

This card starts with a Smoky Slate base and a 3" square piece of designer paper. It's another of my 10 designs from my recent 20-card class. I hand-cut the mustache and placed dimensionals under it. I've seen this nutcrackers in so many colors and think it looks fabulous in each and every one!

Ho ho ho with Santa Stache

 

I am loving the Santa and nutcracker in the Santa Stache stamp set in the Holiday Catalog.

 

This is a quick and easy Christmas card with a Crumb Cake base embossed with the snowflakes. The Santa was stamped in Jet Black StazOn with Real Red applied to the hat with an aqua painter and a Crumb Cake marker used for the facial hair.

 

My kids are thrilled today - no school! It's a teacher improvement day, so the kids get a three-day weekend. Life is good!!! Enjoy the day.
