Hello my Dr. Digi friends,

It’s Crystal here with you today and I have a fun Christmas card using Simply Santa (click name to be directed to stamp set ) , he can come colored and  un-colored, I used un-colored today , because I really love to color its a great way to relax for me .screen-shot-2016-12-09-at-11-20-13-pm

Simply Santa  was copic colored and then I used my Brother ScanNcut to fussy cut him out and Dr.Digi’s stamps are so superbly drawn they cut like a dream on this ( trust me there is a difference )no need for dies when you have this machine …

I cut two out because i have plan for the second image to go inside my card…

and as I was coloring the edge of my cut out ( colored image) I slipped with my marker and made a black line on him ..boo hoo .. has this ever happened to you ???  Well where there is a boobo there is an opportunity to embellish…. and that is exactly what I did …I cut off his arm ( gasp .. ) and colored it again and then popped it up on foam squares to make his arm 3D and pop off my card .. yep and if I would have not told you that I only did this to cover my boobo you would not have known , but we all have things like this happen and I wanted to teach you a fun way to cover it up.

now look at how cool Simply Santa looks ..haha my speech bubble is cut from vellum and then I cut the word HO3 ( HO HO HO ) on my Silhouette from glitter vinyl.. yep no worries if you don’t have a steel die make your own words from vinyl and stick them on your cards, they look embossed ..what.. I thru another tip at you ..lol hope your catching all these … ( humor gets me thru the day and it’s way late right now , I may be a bit slap happy )

file-dec-09-11-02-40-pmfile-dec-09-11-03-39-pmnow for the inside where I saw santa in half , yes lets use this image im yet another way  , I cut him in half because I wanted to create a look of him going down the chimney and only his feet sticking out .. I used an embossing folder to emboss brick look to the red paper and then I ran a white ink pad in the raised grout side so it would catch the ink and look grouted , I used scrap paper to create the chimney lip and then glued half of my santa sticking out of it … and now I am done…
