While I’m usually a fan of Santa in the traditional red suit, for this card I chose shades of blue to match the snowflake paper. Without having to stop and color the Santa, this card makes up pretty quickly!

Assembly:
(Note: All stamped images are from the ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ stamp set.)
Layer a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Whisper White cardstock onto the card base. Adhere the Snowflake Splendor DSP to this layer.
Using a Water Painter brush, lightly moisten the 3 1/4″ x 2 3/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock (it should not be dripping). Use Misty Moonlight ink to make a light blue wash on this piece. Let it dry naturally, or hasten the process by using the heat tool to dry it.
When completely dry, use Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the Santa image onto the piece. Crop the corners with the corner rounder punch. Adhere to the 3 3/8″ x 2 7/8″ piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock which has the corners cropped with the corner rounder punch.
Layer this onto the 3 1/2″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White cardstock which has the corners cropped with the corner rounder punch. Attach the completed piece onto the card front with Dimensionals. Refer to photo for placement.
Use Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the greeting onto scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Crop with the second largest oval from the Stitched Shaped Dies, then attach to the card front with Dimensionals, slightly overlapping the Santa piece. Refer to photo for placement.
Attach several of the Adhesive-backed Snowflake Embellishments to the greeting and the Santa piece.
Inside:
Use Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the sentiment to the remaining piece of Whisper White cardstock. Using the snowflake image, stamp several snowflakes across the top of this piece with Misty Moonlight ink, stamping off first onto a scrap piece of paper so that the snowflakes image is much lighter than full strength ink.
Envelope:
Stamp the snowflake image to the lower left corner of the envelope with Misty Moonlight ink, stamping off first on a piece of scrap paper so the ink is a lighter shade of blue.
