One of the things I love about being a CTMH Consultant is the ability to make a difference in the life of a child. For just $240 Operation Smile provides life changing clef palette and clef lip surgeries. A portion of every CTMH stamp set sold goes to Operation Smile. Imgaine giving a mother the gift of her child's smile - so rewarding!

Tutorial:
Using Black ink and a 2 1/2″ x 2 1/8″ piece of the Mistletoe dark green paper, reversed, stamp the portion of the Santa that would be his suit…like this. Cut out the parts that are his suit.
Using Black ink, stamp Santa onto a 3″ x 3″ piece of White Daisy cardstock. Attach the cut out pieces over the stamped image.
Using Black ink, stamp the toy sack portion on a 1 1/4″ x 1 5/8″ piece of Olive cardstock. You’ll only be stamping the portion with the toy sack, not the rest of Santa. Cut out and attach to the image panel, leaving the top of the toy sack free.
Using Black ink, stamp the belt on a strip of White Daisy cardstock. Then, using Black ink and a Sponge Dauber, ink the cardstock to get the depth of color you desire. Cut out the portions of the belt and attach to the image panel. Repeat for the boots.
Using Black ink, stamp the belt buckle on a 3/4″ x 3/4″ piece of Honey cardstock. Use a cutting knife and the Versamat to cut out the middle opening, then use scissors to trim the rest of the buckle. Attach over the belt.
Using Black ink, stamp the teddy bear on a scrap of White Daisy cardstock. Tip: Since we’ll be tucking the teddy bear into the toy sack, you only need the top part…as shown below. Using the Blending Pen and Bamboo ink, color as desired. Cut out and tuck behind the toy sack, attaching with a piece of 3D Foam Tape.
Using the Blending Pen and Taffy ink, color Santa’s face. Use Blush ink for the cheeks and tongue.
Apply Liquid Appliqué to the furry areas of Santa’s hat and suit. Use the craft heater to heat the Liquid Appliqué from the bottom to make the Liquid Appliqué puff. Tip: If you want, you can add glitter while the Liquid Appliqué is wet and it will stay stuck to the Liquid Appliqué after you heat it.
Round the corners of the image panel and mat with the Mistletoe green snowflake paper (3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″), then Cranberry cardstock (3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″). Cover the card front with the Mistletoe ornament paper. Add the Gold Satin Ribbon and voila! Tip: Use a smidge of Liquid Glass to prevent the ends of the satin ribbon from fraying…there’s a metallic thread in it, and this helps seal the ends.
Now… ”hop” on over to my friend Teri’s blog to see what she’s created.
