Santa Claus is coming to town!!

The Paper Players has a really unique challenge this week...make a card or project with music or a musical theme.   How much fun is that?!?  

I decided to make a card using the Tags Til Christmas stamp set.  It has a stamp that says "even the naughty deserve something nice" which makes me think of the song Santa Clause is Coming To Town...you know..."he sees you when your sleeping, he knows when your awake, he knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake" or maybe be naughty and still get something nice? That sounds fun, but not something I want my 4 year old to think!  :)

This card was CASED from fellow demonstrator, Stephanie McKinnon, and I just changed a some details and the sketch to make it fit my project!  What I love about Stephanie's card and this card is the Glimmer Paper punched with the Stocking Builder Punch.  What a difference that glitter makes!  Note on using the Glimmer Paper: use Mini Glue Dots for the adhesive.  The top and bottom of the Whisper White Cardstock are partially embossed.




A note to any of my class attendees - WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS CARD IN THE UPCOMING OCTOBER CLASS!! (OCTOBER 29TH SAVE THE DATE!).

Also for my class attendees, in the October Class I am giving the option of making an elegant "JOY" Christmas Banner.  Here's a sneak peak of that:
