Happy Friday!
I hope your week has gone well! Everybody hot enough yet? How about a little Christmas to try & cool off? I was so busy working on the new DRS images for next week, I forgot I needed a card for today, so mine is a little on the CAS (clean & simple) side. Everything was going pretty quickly until just after the picture taking part. You see, I have a plastic box w/ all the little flat backed marbles in it. Hundreds of them. Well, it slid off the counter with a mighty crash. I literally lost all my marbles. All over the floor..in the kitchen (where I take the pics), under the fridge, in the dining room, around the corner & down into the living room. Hubs comes running in w/ a panicked look.."what happened?" I'm thinking...kinda obvious. "I don't hear the bird (our parrot, Linus). I think you gave him a heart attack. And I think I wet my pants." Neither had happened. Linus was fine, hubs was dry. It just took me half an hour to pick up all the marbles. There are a few still under the fridge. Oh well. Funny thing, a while back, Samantha (of DRS fame here) asked about those marbles & I sent her a pic. Thank goodness I had that pic, because I couldn't remember what went where. And that's important, lol.
Anyway, for my card, I stamped, colored & fussy cut the little Santa & attached him to a black die cut circle. I die cut the Ho 6 times and stacked 3 on 3 for dimension. The white frame w/ oval cut out was a leftover & since I was hurrying, I used it. I attached them & added thin black strips so they would look like they are hanging. for the narrow background, I stamped the Ho, ho, ho greeting randomly & colored them. Some sequins for sparkle were added at the end. Here are the Copics I used for Santa.

So cute Julie!! Love the hanging Ho Ho Ho's and the black background on Santa! So sorry to hear you lost your marbles though - did you ever think you'd need the picture of them when you took it? Another example of it all working the way it's supposed to!
Great case card,the Ho's Ho's Ho's and Santa look great together.
