Aussie Christmas cards – A Stamping Journey

I couldn’t resist. I recently got the Festive Friends Bundle. They are cute characters in this one BUT for our Hot Christmas time in Australia with many heading to the beach I couldn’t help but make the snowman a Sandman.

I remember so many times at the beach when I was young creating big mounds of sand and decorating it with seaweed for hair and added sticks and shells. And at Christmas time you did add a Santa Hat. Such fun memories.

So the Festive Friends snowman became a Sandman. Not too many shells or seaweed on this one but still all dressed up for Christmas.

The Sandman was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends and the shells were from the Notes and Totes Dies set. The paper worked well with it. This was from the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper pack.

I had a lot of fun colouring this character. I have created with the other characters too so I will get back to you soon on those ones.

This is the Festive Friends Bundle. It has some fun little additional elements too with the trees and snowflakes and a tag shape. See it more -> HERE.

Happy Crafting,

Playing a little more with the Surfing Santa Stamp set.

For us in the Southern Hemisphere this really appeals to us with our Sunny, warm Christmas.

Sunny and Bright for Christmas with the Surfing Santa Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

A little closer view. I stamped the gifts on the card in red for a subtle background.

The Santa was fun to colour and coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The paper strip was from Reindeer Days and added a little sparkle with the Festive Glimmer Paper.

I shared another card with the Surfing Santa just recently. You can head back one or 2 posts on my blog to see that one if you missed it.

Here is the Surfing Santa Stamp Set.
