JR Week - Christmas Cards

Good morning! Michelle, Amy, Tosh and I have more JustRite projects to show you today.

As soon as I saw the new Square Decorative Frames, I thought of making some sort of buckle. Then I remembered seeing a bunch of these Santa suit cards and I always wanted to make one....so, that's what I did....a Santa suit card. It didn't come out on paper exatly how I had it pictured in my head, but it's close. I hope you like it anyway.



The buckle is stamped in Versamark and then heat embossed with silver embossing powder. I drew on some little stitches with a metallic silver Martha Stewart glitter pen (this idea was totally my daughter's....thanks E!....they helped make it look more like an actual belt!). I rounded the edge of the belt with a corner rounder, used a Versamark marker along the rounded edge, and then heat embossed that in silver EP as well.

For the inside, I used this secret santa stamp and sentiment from my Merry Little Christmas set. Ties it all together, don't ya think? (lol, hope so!)



There's a little bit of Diamond Stickles on the white parts of the hat, and the smallest circle is up on foam tape.

I combined the same two JustRite sets on my next card. I love how the 1-5/8" circle sentiments work with the new 2" square frames.



The small square with the Merry & Bright sentiment and the punched snowflake are both up on foam tape. I added some Waterfall Stickles to the snowflake and the dots on the square white frame. The layout is Mojo Sketch 114.

Here's the inside:
