This card features the Signs of Santa Bundle from Stampin' Up!.  I think this is definitely the "cutest" set in this years 2018 Holiday Catalog.  Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus and the sign post were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Stampin' Blends and die cut with the coordinating Framelits dies.  They were layered onto a piece of Whisper White CS that was embossed using their Softly Falling embossing folder.  The sentiment from Timeless Tidings was stamped in Real Red ink.  This is an A2 size card.
