Dapper Denim.......PP310





For someone who is not really ready to make Christmas cards I seem to be making them anyway!  I couldn't resist the Greetings from Santa bundle with this fabulous Santa die cut from Stampin' Up!  A version of this just may become the card I make 50 of this year for the holidays - I love it with all sorts of colors and textures behind the Santa face. This version is backed by Dapper Denim with a touch of red and gold.

But in between cards I am still enjoying this Dapper Denim view........time to store up the sunshine as fall will be here before we know it!





My oh so talented stamping buddy Nance Leedy has a great sketch for us this week at the Paper Players!

    Oh, I am still on the fence about purchasing this die, but I do love him! He looks fabulous with the Denim background as well as his pretty stars! AND your Dapper Denim scenery is fabulous too! Enjoy it while you can!

    Linda I love your card and never thought it about it going landscape... but too funny. I just posted this very card on my blog in dark blue. I just love this die and just told Nancy L (mom) how easy it would be to whip out a Christmas cards ... so you know where my mind is at!
    However....just love that it's not too close yet, just wish I had a lake with that view to put my feet up against! Hugs.
