Spellbinders - The Clauses

Hello there.  Not able to do much crafting lately, but after finally finding a crucial missing die in The Clauses die set from the North Pole Friends collection released last month by Spellbinders ( SB)  with Simon Hurley, I created this CAS (clean and simple) Christmas card.


Santa and his list were die cut from X-Press It paper, red and black cardstock.  The sack was die cut from Kraft cardstick.  Details, dimension and/or texture were then added using either Copic Sketch markers or ink blending with distress inks.

Copic markers used:
beard/trins/pom-pom - C00/0/1 
nose - E01/02/04 
cheeks - RV10 
Distress inks:
reds - Black Soot 
sack - Gathered Twigs
list - Lost Shadow 


The post and signs from North Pole Sentiments were die cut from white woodgrain and gold foil papers.  The bell was die cut from silver mirror paper.  Adhered and assembled onto an A2 size Bristol panel, then mounted it onto a white card base to finish.

Isn't it so easy to miss place a tiny die from a multidie set!! SO frustrating! So glad you found it and were able to create this adorable Northpole Santa card - already looking over his naughty or nice list - oh no! Glad you were able to craft Trina! Julia xx

I LOVE this Santa checking his list! The sign pole is a perfect addition! I'm sad that you aren't able to craft as much. You always inspire, my friend.

It amazes me how something that was right here a minute ago is now missing! Santa is so cute checking his list. I'm glad you could make this fun Christmas card to share.
