Santa Silhouette

Hey crafty friends - I'm popping in with an extremely quick Christmas card for some challenges. I need these challenges to get my yearly stash of cards built - this is my first Christmas card of 2021!!


Supplies: Paper - Bazzill A2 card; Core'dinations black
Die - Spellbinders From Our Home to Yours (retired)
Other - CZ Designs Reverse Christmas sentiment strip; foam tape

I recently received the Spellbinders die set from Virginia (Yes, Virginia) as a Show & Share prize - thanks again, Virginia!! I thought the Santa silhouette would be perfect for the CAS Christmas challenge. I cut him from black, added foam tape and adhered to a green card (after drawing a bit of ground for him). Added the sentiment strip with flag ends that I'd hand cut. Done!! Super quick and easy - perfect for mass production. Santa looks so cute raising his cup of cocoa, coffee, tea - whatever warm beverage you put out for him!

Really skating in at the last minute for Christmas Kickstart but I wanted to play along with Jo who has her mum as the Elf this fortnight. Thanks ladies!! And at Watercooler Wednesday, today's the final day of a three week Anything Goes Challenge that I've been meaning to enter - glad I made it!!

Thanks for stopping!! After a holiday break at chorus we're back to online rehearsals tonight - off to get my presentation ready.... Happy crafting!

Challenges:
CAS Christmas - Silhouette
Christmas Kickstart - If It's Christmassy
NBUS - Never Before Used Schtuff - Santa is getting his first use today
Watercooler Wednesday - Anything Goes

Now if I know Santa, he has added a little sumpin sumpin to his hot cocoa to keep him going and who could blame him?! Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Happy singing and Happy New Year Hugs, Darnell
