As soon as I saw these stamps, I knew Clean and Simple was the way to go. The FRI–die was so unique and reminded me of Santa’s belt so I cut it from a Scarlet Red Craft Metal Sheet and pulled a Black Taffeta Ribbon through it and secured the edges of the ribbon behind the card stock with Glue Dots.
The little pieces from the center of the die were so adorable I knew I wanted to use them too. I used a little Backing Paste to make sure they would hold their shape and adhered them to the bottom of the card with Glue Dots. I used the die to cut a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper for the belt buckle and glued one of the Black Diamond Craft Metal pieces in the center.
Santa Claus is Coming to Town from the Naughty or Nice Stamp Set was inked using Stampin’ Write Markers – Real Red and Basic Black and stamped onto a 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ piece of Whisper White Cardstock. That piece was then adhered to a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Whisper White Cardstock scored and folded at 4-1/4″ – with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
