DIY Ribbon Trimmed Holiday Cards

Hey All, Virginia here with a few ideas to get the engines rolling on the Christmas train. I wanted to share a few ways to trim Santa’s suit using May Arts ribbons. I of course couldn’t show you this with out a great Santa image and as luck would have it, I got to try out a great Santa stamp this week from our friends over at Stampedous.

To trim Santa’s suit I used 419-01 white mini pom-pom trim. I cut a length the width of his cloak (8 pom poms in this case) and a piece for the brim of his hat (4 pom poms) I  glued them in place using Tombow MONO liquid glue.  For the ball on the end of Santa’s hat I used a Red pearl from a strip of wired beads. I cut the piece with a piece of wire remaining on either end and twisted the two pieces together creating a brad that could be poked through the paper.  I trimmed his sleeves with 389-18-46 green ¼” velvet, again gluing with the mono. The card wasn’t complete without a pop of color so I used 412-94 blue bakers twine threaded through a button to trim the card.

I loved using this Santa from Stampendous so much I couldn’t resist making a second card. I chose to do an antiqued look to showcase their crushed glass glitter. I trimmed the card with 372-1-31 crochet velvet center
