I was happy to get to share a short tutorial on OWH Stars and Stamps today featuring how to make a Santa card. The version here is slightly different from the one in the tutorial. I used buttons instead of brads, white ribbon instead of black, and a metal slider instead of a soda tab for the belt buckle. I also added two vertical score lines on either side of the buttons; they may not show up well in the photograph unless you click to enlarge it. I made this kind of card last summer and had some fun with them, so I wanted to make a few more this year. You can see my original post from August 2011
here. If you want to see a similar card, check out
OWHtv episode 29 from September 2011 where Sandy shared some cards in this same style minus the beard.
I hope you try your hand at some Santa cards! Thanks so much for visiting if you came over from the OWH blog. I'm happy to have you here!
