My Aloha Santa Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing My Aloha Santa Card for as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Vacation Santa Set. There are 7 stamps, which include Surfer Santa, Ice-cream Santa, Santa with Reindeer Floatie, Santa & Mrs. Claus, Palm Tree and Flamingo & Gifts, that come in both rubber and digital stamps.

The Details of My Aloha Santa Card 

For my card, I thought to create an Aloha card since Hawaii is the perfect place for Santa to take a vacation before his busy time of year! Lol!

Once Santa was coloured with my Copic markers in bright vacation colours, I placed him on a stitched circle cut out from paper that looked like pool water. I thought it would be fun to place the “pool” off-centred on the card and trim a small piece off the one edge.

Don’t you just love the sparkle of the Aloha sticker, and it pulls out the orange that I used in my colouring! Of course, if Santa is in the land of paradise, he needs a sunny day to folic in the pool! Hence the die cut sun behind the Aloha. Lol!

For my card base, I used green DSP for my palm die cut frame and then some orange DSP with flowers behind it to add to my colour scheme. To mirror the palm die cut, I used a paper palm leaf in one corner.

I added some Star Dust Stickles to Santa’s hat trim, white Gelly Roll Pen for the shine on his floatie and Glossy Accents to Rudolph’s nose. Finally, for embellishment, I used a few sprinkles to match the colours of my card.

My Sliding Santa Card

 
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Sliding Santa Card for Christmas in July and as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the Vacation Santa Set. There are 7 stamps, which include Surfer Santa, Ice-cream Santa, Santa with Reindeer Floatie, Santa & Mrs. Claus, Palm Tree and Flamingo & Gifts, that come in both rubber and digital stamps. I made a card with Ice-cream Santa from this set as well and will include a link to it at the end of this post.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create fun interactive slider card using Santa with Reindeer Floatie. I had so much fun colouring this cutie with my Copic markers! I added some white Gelly Roll Pen to his floatie and Rudolph’s nose to give them a shine.

Next, I wanted to see the different layers of the papers behind him. So, I used two different slimline die sets. I picked a water-like paper for the slider piece as if he is going down a river twirling around like at one of those amusement parks. Lol! I kept the cut-out piece from the slider die and glued it through the hole onto the layer below it so that you couldn’t see the orange layer below. This added to my pool like feel.

I used some slider discs to create my slider, but in the past, I have also used pennies. I made sure that my dimensionals were round so that I could get him spinning around.

I decorated my card using some Christmas Chit Chat pieces. I popped up the sentiment ones making sure that my Santa would not get caught on them. A couple of matching glitter dots were added to add some sparkle.
