 Happy Tuesday!

Christmas is only 6 days away and I'm sharing with you this vintage Have a Holly Jolly Christmas Card which uses Graphic 45's Letters to Santa Collection.


The first five steps use the Letters to Santa 8x8 Collection Pack.

Cut a piece from the plaid side of the Dear Old Santa Clause paper that measures 4" x 5 1/4". Cut a piece from the snowflake side of the Naughty or Nice paper that measures 3 3/4" x 5". Sand the edges of both papers. 


From the Sweets and Treats paper, you'll need the side with the postcards. Cut out the piece that says The Most Wonderful. Sand the edges of the paper. 


Cut a piece from the Holly side of the Holiday Cheer paper that measures 3/4" x 4". Sand the edges of the paper.


From the Holly Jolly Express paper, you'll need the side with all the images. Cut out the Holly Jolly sentiment. Trim the 'Tis The Season border to 3 3/4". Flip the paper over and cut a piece from the strips side that measures 7/8" x 4". Sand the edges of all the papers. 


Out of the Letters to Santa Ephemera, you'll need the Santa image, three snowflakes and tear off the Let It Snow Ticket from the other tickets. Fussy cut around the snowflakes. Sand the edges of all of the images.


Adhere the snowflake paper to the red plaid paper. Adhere the green/red plaid paper to the snowflake paper.


Adhere the stripe strip 2 3/8" from the top and all the way to the left side of the red plaid paper. Adhere the holly strip 2 5/8" from the top and 1/8" from the left of the red plaid paper. Adhere the 'Tis the Season strip 3" from the top and 1/16" from the left of the red plaid paper.


Adhere the Let It snow ticket 3/4" from the left and 1/8" from the top of the Santa image. Adhere the wonderful life paper 1 1/4" from the left and 5/8" from the top of the Santa image. Foam square the Santa image all the way to the right side and 3/4" from the bottom of the red plaid paper.

Adhere one snowflake to the bottom right side of the Santa image. Adhere the other two snowflakes to the top left portion of the Santa image. Adhere the Holly Jolly Christmas sentiment to the bottom portion of the Santa image as desired.
