Really neat texture Santa!
These are the kinds of things you do that look so great and I know without inspiration I would not figure that out. Thank you.
I think I love this die! Turned out gorgeously with the burlap and corrugated board with the distress ink!! I could just take lessons off this one example!!! Fabulous inspiration!
I absolutely love this project! I also loved the way you used the Tim Holtz paint bottles to color some of the die cuts. So much faster and easier than using a brush. Thanks for all the tips and for sharing this wonderful project! I think I may use this idea to make next year’s holiday ornament to give to family and friends.
So cute and clever. Love the texture.
What a simply georgous card. I’m just in love with that beautiful snowman. Awesome texture.

So fabulous! Love the texture and the adorable Santa theme. The cardboard reminds me of metal sheeting on a shed roof. So fun, so fun! This project would be a perfect little monthly banner display! I can visualize a different pennant hanging each month. Love it!
