On the Eleventh Day of Christmas

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true friend gave to me

Eleven Candy Santas

Ten Ornament Cards

Nine Pop-Up Cards

Eight Trinket Tags

Seven Sparkly Greetings

Six Cards in a Box

Five Stocking Stuffers

Four Place Settings

Three Christmas Ornaments

Two Countdown Calendars

and a Handmade Holiday Planner.


These little Santas are a nice thing to have on hand for holiday gifts...stocking stuffers, office gifts, classmate trinkets, etc. And they were super easy to make since they are built around delicious Andes Peppermint Crunch candies!


I inked up the Deer Friends Santa stamp in Riding Hood Red, then with my Basic Black Stampin' Write Journaler's large end, I inked over the writing around the circle. Just to make sure the ink was still wet, I huffed on my stamp before I stamped the image on Whisper White CS. The stamped image was punched out with the 1-1/4" Circle Punch, layered with a 1-3/8" Circle Punch in Basic Black CS, and then popped up with a Stampin' Dimensional onto a Real Red CS Scallop Circle Punch. That was SNAILed onto the candy, then 8" of 1/4" Basic Black Grosgrain ribbon was tied in a knot with a 9" piece of Gold Elastic Cord cord tied in a bow over that to emulate his belt and buckle in a stylized way.
