Letters for Santa

                                         

                            Letters for Santa Storage Box

Hello! 

Welcome back to my extra blog for August! 

This blog is part of the scrapbook.com exclusives!

I made this letter holder using Eileen Hull's Card Caddy 665981

I assembled the caddy using mat board, I then used some red Sizzix textured card, adhered this to the box and added some plain black card around the centre of the caddy for Santa's belt.

I had a spare pack of mini blackboards, so I added one of the fronts to the caddy, really cool as it looks like the buckle of Santa's belt!

I wanted to add some wording to the blackboard, I cut out some vinyl writing on my machine. Then placed onto the mini blackboard. These blackboards are so versatile! I love them!

Now for the arms, hands & feet!

These were quite a challenge too as I made these free hand! I rolled tubes of red/white card, cut a mitten out and placed and glued it inside the sleeve, then hot glued each arm into place! 

If you would like me to do a video of how I made them, let me know. I bent the arm at the elbow and folded round to make it appear that Santa was holding the 'Letters for Santa' sign.

I cut to the feet in mat board, covered them with black card and attached to the base of the caddy.

I hope I have given you some Christmas crafting inspiration. Don't forget to check out the other blogs which you can access via Eileen's website www.eileenhull.com
