Hi cardmakers and friends! I’m so excited to post today with the CAS Christmas Challenge! I won their challenge a few weeks ago with a CAS wreath card and now I get the honor to play along with them as a guest! You are invited to play a long too!
The theme for this month is….
I chose to use one of the super cute Mama Elephant Santa Agenda stamps…the Santa that’s ready to go down the chimney!
He’s so cute! I stamped him on Copic X-Press It coloring cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, in the MISTI and colored him with Copic Sketch Markers.
I used some white gel pen after I finished coloring to highlight his fur and beard. TIP: Don’t color with Copics after you use the gel pen because it ruins the nib on your marker!
I die cut the poppystamps Snowy Merry Christmas die three times in white, glued them together, keeping all the pieces on two of the cuts. Then I die cut one time in red. I stamped a brick stamp with black ink on the red cut, then pieced the red into the top white cut…going for a chimney look!
Everything I used is linked below.
I wanted to put snow or sparkle on the tops of the chimney but I was afraid I would ruin it! So I kept it CAS. haha
I added the small snow flake from the poppystamps Shiny Snowflake die and a red glitter dome.
On the inside I stamped, ’tis the season to be jolly from a Penny Black stamp set.
I sure have been having fun with my stamps and dies! ‘Tis the season and my favorite time of year to make cards! I hope you’re inspired to get in the Spirit of Christmas and make cards! Thank you so much Loll for asking me and to the team for sharing their CAS creativity!

Cool card. I am already making mine too. Didn’t get cards out last year thanks to a visit from Hurricane Irma. I am actually making a Christmas tree today for a senior citizen friend who just had to move into an assisted living facility. She won’t have room for a big tree so my 4’ tabletop one will be perfect. Fun to make.
Merry Christmas lol!!!
How stunning and unique, very classy!
Great card, and I love your background staging! You’ve inspired me to create for Christmas, my friend! Hugs…

so very cute, I love the snowy Merry too!
Congratulations, Pam, for being a guest designer on CAS Christmas Challenge! It’s a lovely CAS card.
Very cute Pam. I love the snow on the top of the letters die-very clever! Keeping very busy here-Steve got his second knee replacement on Tuesday. So far-it’s going much better than the first one!
Love this card!! Totally adorable and what a fun way to say Merry Christmas! I can see why they chose you! Your wreath card was gorgeous!!
Had to pin it! Adorable card!
Oh, my GOSH! Too adorable, pretty, and fantastic for words! Love how Santa plays a minor roll in comparison to the big die cut, yet it wouldn’t be the same without him. So cool that you stamped the brick on the red, and I don’t miss the sparkle one bit. Sometimes it takes away the softness. I saw your other card on IG and thought it was so cute! Love the way that little reindeer pops up!
Eeeppp! CAS perfection, Pam! That little Santa is adorable… wished I bought that set now. 😏 Love the dimensions and chimney idea of the sentiment! Thank you for guest designing for us this month at CAS Christmas. xx
Fantastic card, Pam. Love the white and pops of red. Your little Santa is adorable going down the chimney. Thanks for being our GD this month at CAS Christmas
This is fantastic, Pam! I love that Merry Christmas die and how you’ve stamped the bricks onto the red! The Santa is adorable and I’m amazed at your Copic coloring on anything that tiny! Congratulations on your win and thanks for joining our Design Team at CAS Christmas this month!
Adorable card. Love the cute Santa and the creative way you added the bricks stamp to the red Merry and then pieced in it..
Your Poppy Stamps die is awesome and I love your cute little Santa! Wonderful card, thanks for being a fabulous guest!
