Road Trippin' Santa

Howdy - MichelleO here today - Doing a more Christmas in July at High Hopes Stamps! And my Santa is out for a ride! This is Road Trippin' Santa! 

 

 

You just knew Santa would have a convertible right? - I have colored with my Copics (colors below) and found a couple of Paper Studio papers to layer on white card stock with Santa. I rounded the corners on the papers and the image - mainly because I just found my fiskars corner rounder punch after it missing for months.. LOL I used a red Copic to create a faux border around the edge of image. 

 

The sentiment "Santa Claus is coming to town!"  is a fun favorite with any Santa in movement! I rounded the corners of the sentiment as well. Then I found some glitter enamel dots and had to use them. Then Santa had to have some glitter on his coat and hats trim. So out with my Nuvo glitter pen! Love adding sparkle! 

It needed a bit more... hmmmm.... OH I found some older alphabet enamel dots while cleaning out! HO HO HO! 

Copic colors used -

Was a fun card to color and put together ... despite me having to color in the heat. Air Conditioning going out in 105 degree heat is not good! Thankfully we found a very nice man to come out on the weekend and fix it pretty quick. I was thinking of coloring a snowman... but thought it might melt! So Santa speeding around in a convertible seemed perfect! 

Hope you enjoyed - now make sure to pop over to the High Hopes Stamps web store HERE and see all the Christmas in July or any other fun image! 

 

 

Santa's Coming!

 Santa  Claus parades have been cancelled this year because of the pandemic. Where I live, there have been a number of fire departments, businesses and not for profit groups that have chosen to do a drive by Santa "parade" because they didn't want the kids to miss out on this event. 

Santa and a few of his elves are escorted either on a firetruck, a float or in a vehicle to different streets in town to give the kids some candy and pick up their letters to Santa. Rumor has it Santa will write back to them - cool right?! 

Road Trippin' Santa from High Hopes Rubber Stamps reminds me of the 2020 version of the Santa parade. He has the coolest car doesn't he?! and it's a convertible to boot! 

I stamped and coloured this fun Santa with alcohol markers and hand fussy cut him. I added Stickles to his hat and silver Wink of Stella to the rims, present bows and the swoop on his car. I set that aside and cut out the sky using a licence plate die. I added some houses and snow banks to create my scene. Next I stamped the sentiment, mounted it on matching card stock and tucked it under the patterned paper. A bow and enamel dots finish off my card.

Road Trippin' Santa

Howdy - Michelle O here today and I am still having fun with Christmas in July at High Hopes Stamps! And today Santa is on a bit of a trip is seems! This is "Road Trippin' Santa" with "Holly Jolly"... just love his little bug! 

I colored up Santa in his cruiser with my Copics and then added some sparkle to his suit with Nuvo Paint pen. I found some fun papers from Paper Studio Christmas Collection and sewed all the layers together with red card stock mats and base. Then just for a few more circles embellishments I added some vintage red buttons.

My Copic colors used -

Wonder where Santa was off too? And he has packages in the back... hm wonder who they are for?? Have you been good this year? Maybe they are packages full of lots of wonderful High Hopes Stamps!!!!! That would be a great gift right?!

Road Trippin' Santa

Howdy - MichelleO here today and I have been having some Ho Ho Ho fun working with one of High Hopes Stamps GREAT Santa images! 

This is "Road Trippin' Santa" One of my favorite Santa images!

Colored with my Copics (colors below) and then found some fun Christmas Papers from Graphic 45, that I put onto a kraft card stock base. I sewed down the layers with a zig zag stitch. A band of a vintage burlap ribbon as a band. And then the absolute perfect sentiment for this image "Santa Claus is coming to town!"
