A Very Merry Christmas - Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Continuing with my1/2 Hunkydory "A Very Merry Christmas" Kit & accessories - these cards are made from the set called "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". 

This first card is a tall card (9" x 3 3/4") designed to fit in a business size envelope.  It's pretty straigt forward. Picture & layered pieces, tag from kit & some border Dazzles.


To go along with the "Tis the Season to Sparkle" greeting (from Essentials book), this focal is covered with a glitter adhesive sheet.  This adds a beautiful glittery look - though hard to get a good picture of it!


Background embossed with snowflakes embossing folder (Darice).  It's hard to see the 3-D look here, but there are 2-3 layers on this card.


The background paper was so pretty - just had to use it for a card.  Note border across the top & greeting from Essential book


Here's another layered one - starting with the largest layering piece & red for the background.  I like the rounded corners.


This Santa doesn't have layers on the Santa picture, so had to make it interesting some other way.  I think the offset star patterned paper and diagonal border does that.  The border at the bottom was leftover from another kit. 

Often, the little book has a few designs that don't actually show up in the card kit.  This last card is made from one (or should I say three) of those.  I glued two to card stock & fussy cut them to create a 3-D look on my card.  The background is embossed (Damask Wallpaper), the greeting from the Essential book.  Fine line Dazzles form a border.

So, that's 7 cards from this half set - for a total of 57 cards so far from 1/2 the materials (3 more sets to go).
