Triangle Santa Cards

For these two cards I used the Triangle Santa die set from SimonSaysStamp. I also used their Triangle Tab die for the base to my Santa. If you are making tags or an ornament using these dies sets then you need to buy the Triangle Tab but for what I made with my Santa the tab would not be necessary as you can use a piece of scrap white card stock for your base and just cut it out using scissors. Santa is a three piece die set and easy to assemble - and another great use for scraps..... 

For the background to my cards I used a red card stock base cut and scored at the top. For my two card fronts I used white card stock. For both card fronts I used the Frosted Lace Cover cover plate from The Stamp Market. This first card I ran my white card stock and cover plate through the machine and then back again - this made all the snowflake pieces fall out of the die cut piece:

I put the die cut piece on a piece of white card stock using liquid glue. For the rectangle around Santa I used a rectangle frame piece for the stripes card stock and cut out a rectangle piece of white card stock to put that on using liquid glue. Then I cut a piece of white craft foam and put the rectangle piece on that for dimension for the card front. 

Cut out all the Santa pieces and sponged the edges of those and assembled him using liquid glue. Die cut his hat brim out of glittered white card stock. Put that hat brim piece on Santa using tear n tape. Hot glued a white pom pom to his hat. Used the small holly/berries die set from the Waffle Flower Snow Fun die set for the holly on his hat.  Went through the hot foiled sentiments I made last year and pulled out a "Merry Christmas" hot foiled sentiment in silver for the card front. Used pop dots behind that for dimension.

For this next card I again used the Frosted Lace Cover plate from The Stamp Market and again I used white card stock but this time I ran it through the machine just once so it would cut the design in the card stock but not cut out all the little pieces - here is that card:

Again I did everything on this card as I did on the first card and this card I used a "Merry & Bright" sentiment hot foiled with silver on a red card stock base. Here is a photo to show the difference of the two backgrounds next to each other:

Nice to be able to get different looks from using the same cover plate die..... and a better photo of Santa himself:
