Santa's List Plus

I have used the Stampin' up stamp sets Christmas lodge, (For the Merry Christmas)
Santa's List  ( for Santa and the words he's making a list)
and the Postcard  background stamp to create this  7" x 5" card.
I also used some  taffeta ribbon in soft suede,
soft suede ink pad and a sponge dauber,
Some dazzling diamonds glitter, on the fur of Santa's suit.
Two shades of red Stamp and write markers. one light red one darker for Santa's coat and hat.
Garden green and hunter green markers for the holly along with  the two shades of red for the berries.
 a couple of flesh coloured pro markers to colour Santa's face and his list.
Card  stock:  a rich red,  black,  vanilla and whisper white.
 The red embossed background  was created using  a Spellbinder Christmas embossing folder.
No instructions needed for this as it's pretty straight forward, BUT if you need more information I'll be happy to provide more details.

Christmas Lodge in soft suede

Today's posts are quick and easy  Christmas cards using the Christmas lodge from Stampin' up! This stamp set has been retired.
I distress the edges of all the images and inked them using a sponge dauber and soft suede ink.

The central panel of all these cards are pretty much the same,  the only things I have really changed are the backgrounds. 
On the first card I used  Stampin' up's crumb cake DSP and soft suede card stock as the backing.

 For the background of the second card I used soft suede card stock  stamped with a polka dot  background stamp and white craft ink and finished it off with a bow in soft suede ribbon and some dazzling diamonds glitter. 
You just have to have glitter at Christmas.

The third and final card was even simpler.
 I mounted the central panel onto gold card and and stuck that onto a piece of soft suede card stock which I had stamped using the  Serene  Snowflakes stamp set again from S.U and I am sad to say  this set has also been retired.
Again I used white craft ink to stamp the snow flakes.
The greeting was stamped onto a second scrap of whisper white card stock and cut to the length of the central panel and I rounded the corners with a non S.U. corner rounding punch.
