Santa's Helper Holiday Cards

I found a set of card blanks and envelopes at the DollarTree and thought I'd whip up some sweet holiday cards. So I grabbed some Christmas Magic and set to work.


I say I whipped up this set, but I began by spending a night fussy cutting an entire sheet of "Santa's Little Helpers" from the 12" Collection Pack. (I was watching Filmworker which was a really great documentary btw).


Next I added some wee transparent wings to the little dudes. I can just picture these little fellas fluttering about, switching out burnt out christmas lights, taking care of all the tiny chores that go unnoticed.


A band of gold embossing power backdrops a length of holly from Christmas Magic "Gifting Gala". An iridescent acrylic snowflake is added and a sentiment from Christmas Magic "Gifting Gala" or the Christmas Magic Ephemera pack.


Finally, those sweet little winged helpers!


I mean, how cute! Right?!


Some of the cards have a bit of jute twine added and a smidge of stickles sparkle because... well... glitter!


Want to make your own sweet wee cards? Here's the list of all the bits I used:

And I've still got a load of these cuties hopping around the work table. They might be making appearances until Easter!
