Stampin Up Santas Workshop - How to create cute snowmen Christmas cards

Santas Workshop Speciality Designer Series Paper is such an amazing pack of flocked double sided 12" x 12" paper, 2 each of 6 different designs.  You can make well of a hundred cards with just a pair of paper snips and a little fussy cutting.  Snowmen, Santa, Elves, Rocking horses and so many different images for making Christmas cards simple, fun and full of love for Christmas.

These final two examples of how to make 18 cards from half a sheet of this gorgeous paper are my two favourites.

The first shows the snowman having a doze after his Christmas dinner of cookies and candies and reminds me of how we all feel on Christmas day after we have had our Christmas dinner.  I made the z's for him snoozing with a smoky slate Stampin  Write Marker.

The second card shows our little character with his heart full of love giving a present to the snowman.  Both the hearts and the present were fussy cut from this dsp.

Here is a FREE video tutorial to show you exactly how I made these cards.

Make 18 cards from half a sheet of Santas Workshop Speciality Designer Series Paper

Santas Workshop Speciality Designer Series Paper 12 sheets of 12" x 12" at just £13 is a great buy and can make literally hundreds of cards.

Fussy cutting while sitting watching the television is an easy way to create some lovely elements for centre pieces on your cards.

Half a sheet of the lovely flocked snowman paper can make 18 different snowman elements to make 18 cards.

Here is a selection, some which I die cut and others which I fussy cut.

This was from just half a sheet of dsp, so you can see just how many cards you can make with these lovely images.

This little snowman was made using the edge of the paper and cutting a body from the top with a head from the bottom. My motto of waste not want not means every tiny piece of this lovely dsp can be used.

Here is a video showing you how I created this lovely card.

The embossed background was retired but this lovelySoftly Textured Impressions embossing folder is the one you want for the falling snow.

Using the Stamparatus to create two toned Christmas sentiments

The Stamparatus and now with grid paper, extra plates, foam mat and magnets is a must have positioning tool.  Designed by crafters for crafters it is in my opinion, and many others, the best positioning tool on the market.

This is a two part project.  Part one is the sentiment stamping, using the Stamparatus to create a lovely two toned sentiment in two different ways.  Ideal for batch card making as once the Stamparatus is set up you can make as many as you want.

As always I have included a completely FREE video showing you exactly how to achieve this lovely two toned look, one in Cherry Cobbler and the other in Vegas Gold Shimmer paint - yes you can stamp with the Shimmer Paint. Buy yours HERE NOW
