Jolly Holly Santa

At Kate Hadfield Designs there are so many fabulous sets it is really easy to get inspired to use them. There are digital stamps which you can colour, coloured versions you can scrapbook or make into digital layouts. Papers, patterned overlays and doodles galore. No matter what your skill level there are so many goodies to play with.

One of the most fabulous things about being in this Creative Team is that we have free rein to make anything we want to using the sets in the shop. This is amazing for inspiring creativity as there are so many amazing packs to play with. I feel very, very lucky to be able to have this opportunity.

Jolly Holly is one of my favourite Christmas packs that Kate has made. I love the Kawaii style, the bright colours and the cute little faces on the characters.

This jolly santa has been decoupaged so the trousers and boots are in the background and the rest in the foreground. This was fussy cut and popped up on 3D foam pads and then matted onto red card.

The base of the card has been covered with some patterned paper which has metallic green squares on it. These are awful to photograph. The UK is very wet and cold at present. I go to work and come home in the dark so have to rely on artificial light. No matter what lighting I used I either got too much glare from the metallic or too dark so apologise for not being able to show the green very well.

The ribbon was a great find at The Works in their sale bin and is perfect for a santa card. Finally the sentiment was recycled from a shop bought card.

Kate is really generous with her freebies which are readily available. If you sign up to the newsletter you get access to an extra subscriber area the Doodle Den where there are loads more freebies. There is a gallery full of projects by the Creative Team and customers and so much inspiration for crafters and teachers. I would highly recommend you pop over there and join in the fun.
