Hello Ai Friends!
I have a super fun card today using the NEW Santa Flutter Set! Santa is enjoying some play time in the snow with snowballs before his busy season begins! Teehee! ;)
This card is bright, shiny and sparkly--just how a holiday card should be, I think!

I foiled the background with some striped toner paper, red foil, and a laminator. The bow is foiled by using some toner paper with the red foil. I used my We R Memory Keepers 1-2-3 Punch Board to make the bow.
As you can see, this is a snow scene on top of a present! I just used some white and red card stock to make the ribbon on the striped paper. I die cut a tab from some scrap foiled paper to add to the top of the pull strip. I used some twine from my stash in the tab and tied on some mini jingle bells. I used Distress Collage Medium to attached the little white pom-poms to the bells and to the snowy hills. It dries clear with a matte finish and doesn't show at all!

There are printed directions to follow on the back of the insert with the stamp set. I wanted the pull strip to come from the top. I am a very visual person and can follow pictures more easily than written instructions. If you're that way too, here are a couple photos that may help you when you make your card. Another tip: One leg wasn't moving like it should. I had pushed the brad down too tightly. Bend the tabs down enough to hold, but you want it loose!
Isn't this Santa's face just so adorable?!!
Here is a close up to show the sparkle and shine!
I hope you will give one of the new Flutters a try! They are so fun! Thank you for stopping by! Happy stamping (and fluttering!)
