Time for another STARS Blog Hop! Today we have an awesome sketch for inspiration. You’re gonna want to try this one!

I immediately knew I was going to use one of the circle images from the OnLine Exclusive stamp set, So Very Merry.

The Merry, Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper made a festive background.

I chose the Santa image, heat embossed it with Black Embossing Powder, colored it with Stampin’ Blend Markers and punched it out with the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. Santa’s hat has a coating of the glitter snow that was in the October Home for the Holidays Paper Pumpkin Kit. Both Santa and the greeting are popped up with dimensionals. The greeting is also embossed but with white embossing powder. Three Adhesive Backed Glitter Sequins add just a touch of sparkle.
