Stampin' Up! Santa Suit

 I made these Santa suits last night for the kids.

Check out how I used the Festive Felt Sheets.

They are on page 29 in the Holiday Catalog.

Notice how I made a pocket on the inside, so that I can add some cash for them.

 I hope they like them!

I think that they turned out cute!

Here are a couple of tips:

1. I lightly scored down the center/middle of the card front, so that I had a straight line to follow when sticking down the 2 red felt center strips.
2. I die cut the White Felt collar out of 2 Stitched Triangle Dies.  To make them more sturdy, I also cut 2 Whisper White card stock triangles that were exactly the same.  I then adhered the White Felt directly over the top of the Whisper White card stock triangles.

Here are the supplies & dimensions so that you can make this Santa Suit card too!
