Believe in Santa - Authentique's A Magical Christmas Collection

Christmas In July - Cards

Christmas in July is in full swing.  Authentique Paper's new holiday collection, "A Magical Christmas", is now available adding a special magic to summer.  

 I completely believe it's not too soon to start checking off that card list.  What a feeling of accomplishment you'll have knowing your projects are started. 

You can see the entire Magical Christmas collection here.  

 Here are the papers I used on this card.  

Authentique Paper - A Magical Christmas Collection - 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper - Eight	Authentique Paper - A Magical Christmas Collection - 6 x 6 Paper Pad Bundle	Authentique Paper - A Magical Christmas Collection - 12 x 12 Collection Kit

This inspirational "BELIEVE" card was created by combining some other magical products:

Spellbinders Large Die of the Month

Buttons Galore - Merry Mimosa DD100

"A Magical Christmas" is a classically wonderful collection filled with the greens and reds of the season, the Christmas plaids that are so popular, "candy cane" stripes and vintage ephemera images that are perfect for quick card making.  

This card has been embellished with a fussy cut Santa from on of the ephemera cards found on  A Magical Christmas Collection - 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper - Eight.  He holds a sign that says, "I believe in Children".  What a beautiful sentiment.

   I've tucked Santa next to Christmas presents I created from simple rectangles - nothing fancy but certainly fun to make because it gave me a chance to play with different patterns in Authentique's Paper - 6 x 6 Paper Pad  .  

The festive die cut letters and the decorative leaf branches are from Spellbinders Large Die of the Month.  They celebrate the sign that Santa holds.  

This alphabet set has big and thin letters which means you can fit a rather large word on a card quite easily - for more sentiment options all year round. 

A bit about the embellishments used on the card.  Buttons Galore has a new collection of shaker mixes/project accents available called Doo Dadz.  I describe them as project accents because they make the best shaker mixes,  they can be used to bedazzle your cards, mixed media, layouts and anything you can imagine.
