Surfing Santa Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a colorful card using the adorable Surfing Santa set. This cute little set is such fun!

I first inked a panel of white cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks and an ink blending tool, using these colors:

Now I die-cut the mason jar from this panel and adhered a piece of clear cardstock behind it, created a shaker window and filled it with faux ice crystals. Then I stamped the images, colored the Santa and his board with Copic markers, die-cut the elements with the matching dies, adhered the images to the die-cut mason jar and adhered this behind the shaker window before adhering the panel to the card base. I die-cut the lid of the jar from white cardstock, inked it with black soot Distress Oxide Ink, tied-on the baker's twine and adhered the lid to the jar. 

Stamps and dies used for this card:
Surfing Santa stamps + dies
Vintage Jar dies
Stitched Arch dies

I die-cut the tag from white cardstock, inked it with festive berries Distress Oxide ink, stamped the sentiment and tied it on with the baker's twine. Finally I added the little trees.

We got our first snow this week so it felt strange to create a summery Christmas card. But I loved playing with this set and hope you like my take :) Thanks for visiting!

Hello everyone, Anja here and today's card makes me giggle! It features the Surfing Santa mini stamp set and I just love this cutie in his swim trunks!

Of course I had to create a fun little ocean scene using the palm tree and sandy island from the Tropical Scenes set. For the background, I picked the waves patterned paper from the Summer Splash Paper pack. I added some light bulbs (Gleeful Reindeer Stamps) to the palm tree and a small gift (North Pole Stamps) next to Santa. The clouds are included in the Comic Strip Everyday Dies set.

I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and added some details with a white gelly roll pen. To frame my scene, I die cut a window from white cardstock using the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies. I trimmed off the sides a bit and adhered the striped paper from the Holiday Cheer Paper pack behind it.

The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto blue cardstock. I white heat embossed it and used a speech bubble die from the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies set. Finally, I popped up the arch frame panel as well as some of the images with foam tape. The rest was adhered flat with liquid glue.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you're having an awesome day!
