Holiday ~ Friends of Unity Blog Hop August 2022

 Hello and welcome.  Today, I am joining in on the hop fun and sharing a Christmas holiday project for the Friends of Unity blog hop.  I hope you will join in on the fun and inspiration.  Simply comment on each stop in the hop.


Sentiment:    Have yourself a merry little Christmas.

This holiday theme is helpful for me to get ahead of the end-of-year greeting card projects.  Lots of inspiration follows.



Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips for making this Santa card.  To begin, prepare an A2 card base.  Next, stamp the Santa, the sentiment and some sprigs onto white cardstock using Copic friendly ink or ink for use with your coloring medium.  Then, color in the Santa.  Next, trim or die-cut the stamped panel.  Finally, adhere the stamped panel to the card base using foam tape or glue, to finish.

Here is a closer look.


This is a clean and simple card design that can be stamped multiple times and colored up all at the same time, before assembly.
