Stunning Christmas Card with Monochrome Be Jolly Santa

Hello and welcome to Mitosu Crafts UK. Thanks for stopping by. It’s Jay here, taking over Barry’s Casually Crafting blog hop! Today I’m sharing a very sparkly, stunning Christmas card featuring Be Jolly Santa coloured in Stampin’ Blends.

The Casually Crafting Design Team are a group of independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators that enjoy sharing projects ideal for casual crafters. It’s a step up from simple stamping, quick and easy projects for beginners. We hop every 3rd Saturday of the month and the theme for November is a Colour Challenge.

The design team have created wonderful Stampin’ Up! projects using the colours from the photo inspiration above. Be sure to continue along the hop from the links at the end of this post.

Sparkly Stunning Christmas Card

The Black Glitter Paper is soooo sparkly, I just had to use it for my card. To add extra glimmer to create this stunning Christmas card, I also used Clear Wink of Stella and Shimmery White Embossing Paste! Although the paste is white, there are iridescent glitter in the paste which adds a cool colour to the card.

Now a confession…as there is no Basic Gray Stampin’ Blends, I swapped it with the nearest colour which is Smoky Slate to colour the Be Jolly Santa.
