When You Stop Believing in Santa

Hi everyone, Ilina here. Today I am sharing a fun and snarky non-traditional Christmas card using the new Snarky Christmas Messages stamp set along with the Off-Beat Holiday Messages set and Holiday Foliage Bold Prints.

To make the card start by stamping the Holiday Foliage Bold Prints onto a piece of Adriatic cardstock using Embossing and Watermark ink. Once stamped, emboss with Gold Embossing Powder and cut down to 4" x 5 1/4". Set aside.

Stamp sentiment from Snarky Christmas Messages on Dove White cardstock with Embossing and Watermark ink and emboss in gold. Do the same for the Merry Christmas sentiment but use Adriatic cardstock.

Die cut the sentiment using Circle Infinity Dies and then die cut a slightly larger circle from Vellum. Adhere together. Trim the Merry Christmas sentiment to a strip and adhere to the circle. Adhere to the embossed panel and using fun foam, adhere to a Dove White top folding card.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you have a creative day!
