Hello, friends!! Brenda back with you today!! I'm getting a head start on my 2026 holiday cards and tags with some of the adorable Santa goodies that I didn't get a chance to use before Christmas!!

My first card features the Hey Santa Stencil Set...

I started by stenciling the Hey Santa Stencils onto white cardstock with Rosy Peach, Grapefruit, Valentine Red, Wine, Evergreen, Everglade Moss, Beach Blondie, Moonlight and Noir inks. I used the Coordinating Die to cut it out.

For the background, I die-cut a panel of red cardstock with the Diamond Quilted A2 Coverplate Die. I die-cut white cardstock with a die from the Dome Nested Die Set and cut the Dome Frames Slim Borders Coverplate from green cardstock. I blended a bit of Cali Blue ink onto the center of the white panel, adhered the frame around it, then adhered it to the red panel with liquid glue. Santa was also adhered with liquid glue.

The sentiment, from the Merry Mini Script Stamp Set, was white heat embossed onto black cardstock and cut out with the Coordinating Die. It was popped up with foam tape. A trio of Diamond Rhinestone Gems around the sentiment finishes off the card.

My second card features the Santa's List Stencil Set...

I began by stenciling the Santa's List Stencils onto white cardstock with Rosy Peach, Grapefruit, Valentine Red, Found Topaz, Aspen Cocoa, Moonlight and Noir inks.

I die-cut a panel of red cardstock with the largest Rectangle A2 Nested Die and a Square Nested Die. I stamped the panel with Fresh Linen Cling Stamp and Hampton White pigment ink. Once the ink was dry, I tied a piece of red and white baker's twine around the panel and tied it into a bow.

The sentiment is from the Merry Fancy Script Stamp Set. It was white heat embossed onto black cardstock, cut out with the Coordinating Die, then popped up with foam tape. Diamond Gems finish this one off, as well.

Did you spot the tags in the background? Those were created with the Santa Tags Layering Stencils and the Mass Tags Die, with sentiments from the Merry Mini Script and Holiday Chic Tags stamp sets!! I used the same inks that I used on the last card.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!! Have a wonderful Thursday!!
