OWH Mid Week Throw Down - Christmas in July

This week's challenge is to make a Christmas card.  OWH must ship all cards overseas by October 31, so we need to start early!

I made this Santa jacket card from an OWH tutorial found HERE.


I made an file to cut the buckle out of gold foil paper.  You can download it HERE.  The red is completely flocked, the brass brads from the office supply store, Recollections kraft and textured black papers, iridescent white from Coredinations, Cuttlebug swirl embossing, scalloped die from Above Rubies Studio, grosgrain ribbon for the belt.
