Santa Ornament Shaped Christmas Card

Had a White Christmas here in Central TX on Christmas Day. It rained, thundered, more rain & before noon CT the snow flurries started & continued throughout the day. Photographed some of the snow & will post some photos soon. With the snow outside it was perfect for crafting indoors. Santa is resting after his long trip on Christmas Day so in honor of Santa I made this Santa Ornament Shaped Christmas Card.

Used multi-layers for this card. Used Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge & Gypsy to make this 5 1/2" ornament shaped Santa Card. Added cotton balls for beard & hat pom pom. Added ribbon. The ornament part can be removed from the base of the card to be hung on the Christmas Tree.

  1. Cute Santa ornament card! I live in North Texas and we had at least 3 inches of snow or more and still have snow on the ground. I knew we had a chance of snow but the amount we got was quite a surprise. Thank you for joining the Clear it Out Challenge and for sharing so many of your Christmas cards. I wish you luck with the random drawing as we have some fabulous prizes! I was commenting on all the challenge entries but with the holiday got way behind! I've took a quick look at all of yours but won't be able to leave a comment on each one. But I have really enjoyed them all. Again, thanks for joining in our December Clear It Out Challenge and hope to see you in a new challenge starting in January!
