In my Facebook Live on Thursday of this week, I created a darling Santa Framed Art featuring the Be Jolly Stamp Set! This is a tiny frame – just 3 inches square – and is perfect for sitting on a desk, windowsill or a collection of Christmas items to create a vignette! And again, I wanted to show that Santa doesn’t always need to be in a red suit! This Jolly Santa for today is sporting a special coat of our Snowy White Velvet Sheets! Wish you could touch it – it’s like real velvet – so soft and pretty!
You can click below to watch how this goes together! It’s actually pretty easy – you will need your Paper Snips – for just a bit of fussy cutting!
I stamped the Santa stamp on the Snowy White Velvet Sheet with Early Espresso ink – then set it aside for a minute or two to give the ink a chance to set. While I was waiting for that to dry, I stamped another Santa with Early Espresso ink – this time onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. I added some color to his face and beard with Stampin’ Blends – Petal Pink – Light and Dark, Smoky Slate – Light. I also used my Color Lifter to soften the color I added to Santa’s beard a bit.
I then took the stamped Velvet piece and added some color to Santa’s belt with a Light Crumb Cake Blend. Then the Fussy Cutting began – I started by cutting out the Velvet Santa – I cut his suit and face as one piece, and then his hat – cutting around his eyebrows. Next I cut his face and beard from the Basic White Cardstock panel. You can “see” how I did this in the video above!
Isn’t he just the cutest? I love this jolly little guy!

My Halloween costume would be that of a black panther with spooky gold eyes and a very long tail! 😉
Love this, Nancy!
Hardest question of the week! My Halloween costume would have to be something comfortable. I’ll say a witch with a pointy nose (with a wart of course) and long “arthritic” fingernails.
So Fun!!
My Halloween costume would be dressed in a 1920’s flapper costume and hair style. Of course having the flapper style and grace would be welcomed too, lol.
Sounds adorable!
We do not carve pumpkins.
awe! It’s so fun!
My Halloween costume would be a black cat. When CATS was on Broadway, I dressed in black, with a long black tail and a headband with black ears. Then I did makeup to give me a car face. It was so much fun to see people’s reactions!
I love this Barbara! Adorable!!!
I love the Santa framed art! It is adorable!
Hmmm! That’s a tough question! I love Halloween and decorating the house but I don’t really like dressing up.
you’re asking a tough question this time! I’d go with something cozy and pajama-like….
