Here to make you smile!  Dancin’ Douglas is the tree card…I love the name!  Dancin’ Moose Klondike…sooooo CUTE!

Very basic, die cut, glue and take pictures! lol  An A-6 size card but I’ll use an A-7 size envelope because his antlers are a bit taller than the card.

Pine branch is from the Delivering Joy Sleigh die set, Santa hat from the Dancin’ Snowman die set and the sentiment is from the Clear Stamp and die set from October of 2023.

Here’s a short video showing how his legs ‘dance’!

There are several die sets in this collection… I’ll link to everything at the end of my post.

There’s No One Elf Like You!  That’s the truth! lol Sentiment from Santa’s Sippin’ Sayings clear stamp set.

Snowflake die cut in the background is from the St. Nick die set.

I used Navy Blue cardstock but I know, it looks black but it’s not! ugh.  Sometimes picture taking is so hard! You can see it’s navy in the video below!

The present is from the Dancin’ Snowman set.

Such happy cards!  A-6 size again…

Here’s a video of Dancin’ Douglas swinging his legs.

I wish I’d thought to take a picture of how I do the swing.  I’ll try to explain.

I use three washers and red tape them together and red tape them to the back of the tree. (I need to try just using two washers so it’s a little thinner.)

I put mounting tape on the back of the tree, making sure I don’t block the swing with it.

I add more red tape to the washers, remove all the protective paper from the mounting tape and red tape and adhere to the card panel.

It’s very simple.  I don’t know what everyone else does but that’s what I do.

I used the smallest rectangle die from the Mini Slimline A set to die cut the sentiment.

The green cardstocks are from the Memory Box Greenery 6×6 cardstock pad.

Browns are old Bazzill cardstock and the Moose background cardstock is Cookie Monster from Taylored Expressions.

Thank you so much for stopping by and making it clear to the end of this post! whew! lol!

Hi everyone!  So fun to think about St. Nick.  I’ve always loved to read.  When I was a child I had some thick volumes of Christmas children’s books with lots of stories in them. For some reason I remember the ones about St. Nick more than the others!

I had fun putting this guy together!  I love how dies are these days, the detail and how it helps you put them together.  This St. Nick would be really fun looking more vintage….I need to look around for ideas to do that!

Very basic card…tear a piece of white for snow, die cut the flakes and sentiment in white.  I used the stars from the centers of the flakes to kind of accent the Christmas Wishes banner from the NEW Handmade Sentiments set.

Die cut and assemble St.Nick, the lantern and the tree.  There’s even a die for a piece to back the lantern!

He also comes with two hat dies so you can take your pick!

This is an is odd size card but will still mail for one forever postage stamp.

Linking to some card challenges…
