Good Mornin':
These cards were created during my 2010 Santa's Workshop. The Recipe for each card is included. This annual event is one that you don't want to miss. Watch for it in November or early December.
SNOW SWIRLED
This card is one that I did not post previously but … one of my favorites. I used the Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets to make the snowflakes "sticky" and then added some glitter. The recipe for the card is…
STAMPS: Snow Swirled
PAPER: Not Quite Navy, Soft Suede, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla
INK: Soft Suede
ACCESSORIES: Big Shot (BS), Northern Frost Decorative Strip, Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder, Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets, Dazzling Diamonds, Light Blue Fine Cosmo Glitter, Chocolate Fine Supernova Glitter, Rhinestone Jewels, Paper Piercer, Stampin’ Dimensionals
GOLDEN ORNAMENTS
The next card, designed by Amy Celona, features the ornament from the Tags for You stamp set. What sets this card apart is the gold ornament on Very Vanilla cardstock. This design puts the card in a class by itself. To me there is nothing more elegant than two layers of very vanilla cardstock together. The Northern Flurry embossing folder and basic rhinestones add a touch of bling.
STAMPS: Tags For You
PAPER: Very Vanilla
ACCESSORIES: Big Shot (BS), Northern Flurry Embossing Folder, Heat Tool, VersaMark, Gold Embossing Powerder, Basic Rhinestones, 1/8" Real Red Taffeta Ribbon, Stampin Dimensionals
COME TO BETHLEHEM
The Come To Bethlehem stamp set is a favorite of many because is focuses our attention on the true reason for the Christmas season. I chose this stamp set for this reason and because it teaches us to blend colors to create a beautiful background — truly a work of art.
You may ask … did I design this card? The answer is "No." I found the card at www.sudsol.org — it was created by Peggy Finney.

DECK THE HALLS
I can't take credit for this card either. It was designed by one of my favorites — Connie Babbert. This card features the poinsettias from the Deck the Halls designer series paper (Stampin' UP!) and the Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder (Sizzix).

JOURNALS AND PENS
The final project I will show you from Santa's Workshop are these coordinating journals and pens. The ladies from one of my technique clubs made these as a gift of those participating in this event. They were made from composition books that you can purchase from Wal-Mart. The pens are fine point. I used Jolly Holiday designer series paper to cover them composition books.
Thanks for spending some time with me today.
We'll see ya next time!
