The idea from this card comes from Dawn Olchefske and a swap she received and modified from Founders Circle.
I chose Santa's List for my card and added the Merry from the Expressions Thinlits Die. You'll see here I tried it with two different sizes from the Labels Collection Framelits. I believe the first card looks the best, with the bigger "window". I also like the sentiment frame on the first one better. The other one is too big and bulky for my taste.
Here they are side by side. Which do you prefer?
The Santa is actually stamped on the "inside" of the card, but doing it this way there really isn't any place to write a Christmas greeting, so I did what Dawn did and made the inside a 2-page insert - basically a smaller card inside the bigger card so there's plenty of writing space. I also added an inside sentiment to mine, since there's such a great one that goes with this stamp set.
Thanks to Dawn for sharing her card. I sure love how this turned out!

Yes, top card is definitely the best. The proportions are just better. Love the whole card and am considering using this for my annual Christmas card now. I'm narrowing my choices and this is a serious contender! Love it!
