Waiting for Santa | Kat Scrappiness

Hi crafty friends!

There's something so magical about Christmas Eve—the excitement, the twinkling lights, and wondering if you'll catch a glimpse of Santa in the night sky. That's the inspiration behind today's card featuring the adorable Christmas Gnome Stamp Set and the fabulous Up on the Roof Craft Dies from Kat Scrappiness.

 

To begin my card, I created the winter sky by pairing the A2 Cloud Border Craft Dies with patterned paper from the Blue Faux Glitter Paper Pack. The glittery pattern adds beautiful sparkle and gives the background the look of a crisp, snowy winter night without the mess of loose glitter.

Next, I die cut the rooftop using Scarlet Bloom Cardstock. The rich red color makes the roof the perfect focal point, and I couldn't resist adding a strand of tiny twinkling lights along the roofline for an extra touch of Christmas magic. Those little details really bring the scene to life and create that cozy holiday feeling.

I colored the adorable gnome from the Christmas Gnome Stamp Set and tucked him onto the rooftop, where he's patiently watching the sky for Santa's arrival. His curious expression perfectly captures the excitement and anticipation of Christmas Eve.

To finish the card, I heat embossed my sentiment in white embossing powder on black cardstock. The bold, crisp sentiment stands out beautifully against the colorful scene and provides the perfect finishing touch.
