So for my project today I decided to make a card. With a a new little one, my time is very limited to crafting. So I knew I needed to make something that is quick and easy but still cute :0) I had quite a few of these little thin wooden Santa's that I purchased last year at Michael's after Christmas sale. I think I paid about 10 cents for each of them. I had been wondering what I was going to use them for and now I know. They will be part of the Christmas cards I send out this year. Here are all the details...

Card size is standard A2 (4 1/2" x 5 1/2")

Wooden Decorated Santa - Michael's

Patterned Paper – American Crafts “Peppermint Express”

Kraft Cardstock - Recollections

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Standard Circles and Classic Scalloped Circle

Spellbinders Shapeabilities - Ribbon Banners

Red Sequins 8mm

White Gel Pen

Glue Dots

Foam Tape

Again, a super quick and easy card!! Perfect for Christmastime!! Remember, quick and easy cards can still look cute ;0) Well, I hope you found some inspiration and have enjoyed my project for today's Christmas Blog Hop.
