Santa Claus Christmas Card
For the card front: Turn the card with the fold at the top. Use the pens to color the Color Me™ Santa postcard topper. Color the leaves with DG2, then color the shadowed areas with DG4. Go back over the leaf with DG2 to blend the two colors. Cut out a Color Me™ extra art holly cluster and repeat the coloring process.
On the post card, color the striped frame and the “s” with CR11. Color the inner frame with JG6 and the stamp frame and “express post” with CT4. Wrap ribbon across the lower left corner, gluing the ends to the back. Glue the topper to the card front. Knot a 3" ribbon and glue to the holly cluster by the stamp area.
Cut out the “Color Me™ “‘tis the season” banner and color it with CR11. Foam tape the holly cluster and glue the left end of the banner next to the ribbon as shown. Place foam tape under the right end of the banner. Make a 4-loop bow and tie the center with thread. Glue to the ribbon and place pearls as shown.
For the inside: Cut 6½"x2½" Vintage Christmas red paper and mat the long edges on cardstock with 1/16" borders. Glue centered across the inside. Cut 3"x4" Vintage Christmas brown floral paper and mat on cardstock with 1/16" borders. Glue centered on the inside.
Cut out the Color Me™ “merry Christmas to you” label and another holly cluster. Color the holly leaves in the cluster and on the label as for the leaves on the front. Color the label frame with CR11. Glue the label centered on the brown paper, then knot a 3" ribbon and glue to the upper left. Foam tape the holly and place pearls as shown.
