Magnolia Advent Calendar ~ Day 7
Welcome to Day 7 of the Magnolia DT Advent Calendar celebration! I’m soooo excited that it’s my turn to share a project with you today!
For my jolly old St. Nick card, I’ve used the following Magnolia stamps . . . Cool Santa (from the 2010 Merry Little Christmas collection), Lamp Post and Santa is Coming sentiment (both from the 2008 Santa is Coming collection).
This “cool” Santa has been colored with Copics and made into an Easel style card.
I always like to add a little extra design paper to the inside section of the easel card . . .
And, here is a closeup view of the computer generated inside sentiment ~ a section from A Visit From St. Nicholas (a/k/a Twas the Night Before Christmas) by Clement Clarke Moore.
Thank you for visiting today! I would like to wish everyone a VERY happy holiday season.
P.S. Don’t forget to leave a comment for a chance to win a special prize from Magnolia.

What a stunning card, I just love it. To me it is telling a story of Santa having delivered some of his presents and is having a rest, leaning against the lamp-post before returning to his sleigh to carry on with his deliveries to all those little boys and girls who are fast asleep in their beds.
A lot of work has gone into making this card, and I congratulate you on your design.
This is fantastic! I love your work, you make great cards!!!
And we also love “A Visit from St. Nicholas”, aka “The Night Before Christmas” poem…
I purchased it last year for my 5 year old daughter (the book with CD), she didn’t understand a word, but she was watching it like 50 times a day.. It’s a beautiful poem..
Big hugs from Croatia, Marina
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”
Wow – fabulous card.
