holiday hugs

Hey everybody, Happy Weekend – I hope you have something fun planned! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today created with items in our new Here Comes Santa Claus Collection. This faux center step card is pretty close to the top of my ‘all-time favorites’ list and is super easy! The instructions are on the Freebies page of my blog HERE if you’re interested in learning how to make it. You’ll be pleasantly surprised!

I cut the card base and center panel from CutCardStock Lessebo Moss Green cardstock as well as layering panels from the Here Comes Santa Claus 6×9 Collection pack. I assembled the card and added some Eyelet Outlet wide Road Washi Tape. I added sentiment and images from the Here Comes Santa Claus Die Cut Pieces, and voila, card front finished!

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of patterned paper used on the front and a star from the Die Cut Pieces. I added sentiments (also from the Die Cut Pieces) and another panel on the back for a more finished look.

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)
