Look at this cute card made using the Santa’s Suit stamp set from Stampin’ Up!
To be honest I am so behind. I have had a bout of shingles which has had me laying low and now I am so behind it is not even funny! You may also have noticed that I have not posted for the Global Design Project for the last couple of weeks and as a result of the shingles I decided to free up some of my time and commitments to claw back some time to be creative and share more on my blog so although you won’t see me on any design teams you will be seeing more creativity from me 😉
I loved colouring the Santa Suit and I used the Stampin’ Write Markers and then die cut the clothes for the washing line. I had my sewing machine to hand so decided to stitch around the edges to add an extra detail (but without thread in the machine). The clothes are raised up with dimensionals which gives the card a real 3D feel.
But the cute part is on the inside!

I love the red and white and how they pop off the crumb cake background. I hope you like it too!

Sorry to hear about the bout with shingles, Michelle… a friend of mine had them and it was really painful for her. Hope you are feeling better soon! Your card is lovely, and I agree, the stitching along the sides adds a very nice touch. Now all I need to do is I bury my sewing machine! LOL. Take good care and God bless you as you heal, Patricia
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Patricia, I am on the mend thankfully so all good. Glad you like my card and thanks for stopping by x
Your work is beautiful! It is a joy to see your creativity!

Oh! Dear Michelle! I hear those pesky shingles are sooooo painful! I’m glad to read that you are able to have some stamping time now and are enjoying it. You are wise to focus on yourself right now and follow your instincts on what can wait in order for you to heal. Get well wishes to one talented stamper! <3 KT
