Santa Hat: Ho, Ho, Ho

RED & WHITE is the May color challenge over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. When I think of Christmas and the colors red and white, Santa is among the top images. So with red cardstock in hand, I folded it in half to create a cardbase and hand cut a Santa hat shape from it.  I added some polyfil to represent the fur and hand cut the Ho Ho Ho. It seemed a bit flat so I attached the three red bows. Next I cut a white cardstock base, also in the shape of the Santa hat and printed Merry Christmas on it before adhering it to the inside.

Just for fun, I'm also linking this up over at Old Back Porch. It's a great place to post whatever you are currently working on.

Supplies: Cardbase: Fox River Company, Polyfil, Cardstock: white scraps, Adhesive: Scotch ATG, Scotch Quick Dry

    What an original idea! I love it! Even more so knowing that you hand cut it- a real one-off. Love the bows and the 'fur'. Thanks for playing along with us at 52 CCT
