A Sweet Christmas Inspiration | Santa & Presents Card with Elena Salo

Hello dear Spellbinders friends! Elena Salo is here with another project featuring A Sweet Christmas collection by Sharyn Sowell. If you missed my previous project, you can find it here. I like all the Christmas scenes in this collection. There are so many ways to use them in different Christmas projects. And today I’d like to show you how I’ve used one of those dies in my greeting card.

Spellbinders A Sweet Christmas Collection by Sharyn Sowell - Inspiration | Santa & Presents Card with Elena Salo featuring SDS-159 Recipe Card Set, S4-937 Hanging Stockings #spellbinders #neverstopmaking #sharynsowell

I created 6 ½ x4” top folding card base and covered the front with patterned paper. I added light brown ink to the edges of the card. I created a panel out of light grey cardstock of the same size as the card base and used recipe card die from Recipe Card set to cut out the window. I covered the edges of the frame with dark brown ink and stamped the sentiment on its bottom.

I die cut the image using Hanging Stockings die out of white cardstock, colored it and covered with glitter using a glitter brush. I foam mount the image onto the card base.
