Santa Claus is Coming To Town!
We have two fabulous Santa Claus cards on the blog today! Katelyn Grosart and Maggi Harding do a fabulous job with the cards below. You will love each and every one! Best part, they have tutorials for each of these cards so you can make them yourself! First, let's take a look at Katelyn's card:
"St. Nicholas was the perfect jumping off point for creating my Christmas Card. By layering in keys from the staple line, fussy cut images from the St. Nicholas collection and ribbon, I was able to create a beautiful layered Christmas card." ~Katelyn
Tip: Add Glossy Accents to the berries of the holly bunches in the two corners.
Tip: Add some cream crochet lace trim to the Christmas borders to give them some extra interest.

"Tis the season to be jolly, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!" Christmas really isn't very far off, are you ready? Do you have all you cards made and ready to go? Haaaa! Nope not me, I send my cards out on December 24th, and that's if I'm lucky.
We can always hope that we'll get better, right? So today I have a pretty card for you made from this year's Christmas collection, St. Nicholas and I have a Snapguide tutorial to make this card. I used bits and pieces from the St Nicholas collection but you can easily substitute for any items that you don't have." ~Maggi

Talk about layer upon layer...wow! I never would have thought to use this many layers on a card, but I'm going to give this a try. The tutorial is very clear. Loved the use of flowers on the second card. Very inspirational day!
