A New Year With The Creative Crafters Challenge

 The Creative  Crafters starts a monthly challenge every 15th of the month and I've made a fun Christmas Card     as inspiration for this month. 

This challenge is always "Anything Goes".  
Be sure to join The Creative  Crafters challenge! 

I guess I'm still in Christmas Card Making Mood.  I've had a digital set for some time, but never printed them out before.  This one is Santa and he's adorable.  A gate card is not in my comfort zone to make so I'm trying to stretch out.  I thought some snow would add more depth and fun, so it snowed enough to lay on the ground.  I used Nuvo drops inside the card so it wasn't just black & white.

Several "minor" things have gotten in the way of making this card.

1. my tree cover card stock was too short, so I cut off about 1/2 inch off of the bottom of an A2 card because it wasn't long enough and I loved it with this image.

2. I put the tree card stock on UPSIDE DOWN.  You can still see the left side.

3. I think I covered enough of the upside down right side panel with what I had left.
4. I cut the "MERRY" die to add more confusion so the upside down panel disappeared.
4. It even looks good.  LOL
