A Blue Christmas Sleigh for Santa

 Getting a start on the 2025 Christmas cards!


This lovely stamp set is from Claire Brennan Designs - unfortunately Claire had to close her shop due to oppressive small business tax laws in the UK.  I used the Milky Way stencil from Colorful Life designs. The stars on the bells were already on the stamp (showing white) but I added little silver stars over them for a little sparkle.  I added a black enamel dot at the top of the bells' rope.

I'm sending my card to:

I used blue for my sleigh which I think is not the norm for Santa!

First time using this beautiful Sleigh stamp set

It's a Fake -   my sky is a stencil of random shapes

Oh Julia this is just awesome! Love that stenciled background! So sad that small businesses are having to close their doors these days ... here in the USA too. Just the 'big guys' wanting to rule everything ... the 'mom & pop' stores don't stand a chance. Either way, you did her proud with this card!
Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our STENCIL FUN challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
