'Dear Santa' Cabinet Card for Compendium of Curiosities




Had fun making this one!

The latest challenge from the Curiosity Crew is to use Cabinet Card Pockets - page 38 of Tim's book. Check out the link here... where there is some fabulous inspiration from the team.

This time round the sponsors are Inspiration Emporium.

For the last challenge I had made and didn't use my Umbrella Man Father Christmas so decided my Cabinet card was going to turn into my Dear Santa Christmas list... my wish list on the inside tag..


Lots of  different techniques with umbrella santa, my robin and present all crackled. My letters are industrial stickers altered with distress paints and stains.Lots of remnant rubs, chit chat stickers, stenciling and stamping.




 Not sure Santa will give me lots of Tim goodies for Christmas but I had fun making it!

I would also like to share at:
Fashionable Stamping Challenge - Christmas Tag
Mixed Media Monthly - Stamps
 The Artistic stamper - Christmas
Stamplorations - Stamps and Layers

Thanks for looking

  7. Nikki....ABSOLUTELY DARLING! I LOVE IT! Tim's umbrella man as SANTA is sheer genius! I love the crackling effect you've given to him and also the bird sitting on the present. That adds even MORE to the vintage feeling of this cabinet card. Your "dear" letters are also so neat. I also love your tag that you've made to stick inside of your cabinet card. A fabulous project, Nikki! Thanks for sharing it with all of us at CC3C. <3 Candy
