Hello my Stampin’ Friends!
I love this little girl image from the Dear Santa Stamp Set!
As I started creating this whimsical Dear Santa card, I began with a Basic White cardstock base and added a slightly smaller Basic White layer to create that crisp, clean frame. I made sure to keep the layering precise, as this simple design relies heavily on clean edges and proper positioning. I also scored 3 lines on the left side of the front panel for a little dimension using our Simply Scored Scoring Tool.
For the main design, I stamped our adorable little character using Tuxedo Black ink, positioning it in the lower portion of the card. I then carefully colored the image using Stampin’ Blends markers – choosing a Daffodil Delight for the hair, Lost Lagoon for the top, Balmy Blue for the paints and adding those sweet rosy cheeks using the Bubble Bath Stampin’ Write Marker. I enhanced the scene by creating a gentle blue halo effect around the character using a light wash of our Balmy Blue ink sponged with a Stampin’ Blend.
The finishing touch was adding the “DEAR SANTA” text at the top, which I stamped in Tuxedo Black ink to match the character’s outlines. What I love about this design is its simplicity – the white space really allows the sweet scene to take center stage, while the minimal color palette keeps it fresh and modern. It’s the kind of card that captures the innocent magic of writing to Santa during the holiday season.
I completed the inside of the card by adding a layer of Basic White Cardstock for writing a personal message, giving the card more stability. To create a cohesive look, I added three decorative scored lines to the left side of the envelope front, echoing the design elements from the card’s front panel.
