Sunday Snippets - Santa Claus

I'm baaaack! Am still recovering but every day brings an improvement in movement, less swelling and pain plus the spectacular bruising is fading nicely. I can type reasonably well at last and even managed to use a guillotine for my snippets card by leaning on the blade with my left hand - tricky but do-able!

My snippets card for this week was made using an already assembled decoupage Santa, a matching sentiment, a snippet/surround of red satin mirror card and a white card blank: 



I used: 

- 7" x 5" white linen card blank, side opening

- an already assembled decoupage 'Santa Claus' image by Katy Sue - it's the last of the ones I assembled last Christmas

- trimmed a snippet of Tonic satin mirror card ('Scarlet Organza') and glued it to the back of the decoupaged image 

- added the ready trimmed sentiment to the top right hand corner of the image panel - once again with Katy Sue decoupage there are a couple of extras included which are small matching Santas for the back of the card plus the envelope

- finally added the image panel to the card front using glue - finished!

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenge:

- Rudolph Days August Challenge HERE

Remember, I've just kicked off a new challenge over in the Snippets Playground HERE

Dudley Pupdate: I'm still not out of the woods here and Dudley is a constant companion, if not beside me then mostly in his little office - aka the shower room off our bedroom! I think we need to set up a 'hot desking' rota! 

Hope to see you on the swings in the Snippets Playground! I'm gonna sit in the corner just watching and will be wearing a Mr Blobby suit for protection............. just in case of any further tumbles!!


Very fetching, innit?! 

Love as always, Dudley Dog and me

  5. So good to hear that you are on the mend - excellent plan to don a Blobby suit for protection 🤣. Love this traditional Santa card and very resourceful of you to bring out an already assembled decoupage to use. Take care.

  7. So sorry to hear of your accident, Di, but glad you are on the mend. Working with one hand must be very frustrating but your lovely card shows no signs of those difficulties. Having your beloved Dudley's caring attention must help a lot. Take care and get fully well again soon. Hugs, Elizabeth xx

  8. Love your eye catching suit, Di - but it is great to hear you are healing well, and are still being supervised by Dudley, and have not fallen over him while he has been shadowing you.
    That is one striking card - aren't the Katy Sue products wonderful!
    Blessings
