Santa's Suit Christmas Tags

As I mentioned in a previous post, it took me a while to work with the Santa's Suit Bundle.  But once I got working with it I thoroughly enjoyed the process.  I felt like a kid again playing with the paper dolls fitting then with different clothes.  Remember those dolls??  I know, I'm aging myself!!

Today I used this bundle to make a set of Christmas tags.

The images of Santa reaching for his illusive clothes were stamped and coloured with Stampin' Blendabilites and then die cut.

They were adhered randomly on 6 different tags.  In each tag his clothes are elusively out of reach.

Each tag is  2 by 4" of Real Red card stock punched with the Angle tag topper punch.  The images were mounted on a 1 3/4 by 3" piece of Whisper White card stock.  Silver tag tinsel was added to each tag top.  Some dazzling diamonds was added to Santa's hair and the fur parts of clothing.

Here are each of the tags singly:

Supplies Used:

Stamp:  Santa's Suit

Inks:  Black Memento, Stampin' Blendabilites, Basic Black Marker

Papers:  Real Red, Whisper White

Accessories:  Santa Builder Framelits, Dazzling Diamonds, Angle tag topper punch, Silver tag twine

Z-fold Santa's Suit meets Santa's Sleigh at Sweet Home

Sounds like a lot of stamp sets used in this card right?  Yes, but they all have a common theme - Santa.

I was in a bit of a quandary as to how to best use the Santa's Suit Bundle.  I first made a set of cute tags (will post later), and then got the idea to made a Z-fold box card incorporating the other stamp sets.

Here's the result:

The card below is closed. I put 2 bands on the card - one at the top and one at the bottom.  My plan was to suspend Santa's clothes from the upper band, but that did not work out.  The upper band, however, gave Santa some privacy while he was selecting his suit.

A die cut house from Sweet Home is featured on the front of the card.

The middle part of the card is a box.  There are 2 inserts in it and I have attached 2 pieces of Window sheets to which Santa and his clothes are attached.  Behind him are two trees die cut from Santa's Sleigh.  Both trees have texture paste applied to them to mimic snow.

Looks like a private dressing room doesn't it?

The base card is Tranquil Tide, layered with Whisper White and Naturally Eclectic DSP
