Santa Card

 Today I want to share a really easy and simple card for Christmas, although you could use the design for any occasion just by changing the image.

Using one of the dies from the Thin Cut set seen below I cut the fancy edged rectangle to stamp my image on. I colored with markers an added some shimmer to the fur on his hat.

I mounted this on glitter paper using foam tape. You need something stronger than a tape runner for it to stick to the texture of the glitter paper.

I used a scoring tool to dry emboss lines 1/4" from the edges of the card front I placed the card face down on my paper trimmer so the line would be raised on the front. Next I gently ran the scoring tool down the track of the paper trimmer being careful not to press too hard and tear the cardstock. This gives a bit of texture and adds to the simple look.
