Unisex Santa Christmas card using 'Tis the Season from Julie Ebersole







Hello everyone and welcome to Challenge #308 at Addicted to Stamps and More.





This time we have a holiday theme and I came up with a couple of versions of a card made with oodles of goodies (using the Tis the Season stamps set from Essesntials by Ellen Hutson) sent to me by my very kind teammate over on the Happy Little Stampers team, Stephanie Lanzalotto of My Inkwell blog. Thanks to Stephanie's gift, these cards came together very quickly.  


This set really cracks me up! I love the idea of an incognito Santa in his shades having sneaky peeks to see who is behaving and can get on the nice list. I hope he isn't watching me lol!



I really love red, white and kraft as a colour combo for Christmas and these make a fun card that can be sent to anyone but will be destined to reach some of the naughty men I send cards to at Christmas. Oops, I just realised how that sounds - I actually meant my husband and two sons!!!

You'll find lots of inspiration from my talented teammates over on the ATSM blog, and if you'd care to join us, you can link your card to the gallery there. Hope to see you there.

I'd like to play along with

OMGosh, i love this Christmas card Carol!!! I've been wanting that Santa stamp set for a while now-ever since I saw someone else use it. It's so cute. But what I really love is that peppermint background! Love the scalloped circle going around the peppermint. Just makes it pop! Well, I guess I am saying that I love every inch of this card. lol Hugs, Brenda

Two cool and fun Christmas cards. I love how Santa is peeking around the edge that way and the center spiral (Peppermint) design is perfect with Santa.
