Hello everyone! I've had SO many of you asking me to create with The Greeting Farm's Secret Santa set - so I inked up all the images from the set and ended up making 8 cards:
I stamped the images from the set onto Neenah Desert Storm card stock with Versafine Onyx Black ink, then coloured them in with color pencils. I used my Polychromos (FYI as of posting this the 120 set is 50% off on Amazon right now - link is in the supplies below), but any color pencil will work.
I used my Uniball Signo White gel pen to add highlights to all the images, and with this little character on the right I used Nuvo Crystal Glaze on his glasses to give them some gloss.
I used Concord & 9th's Plaid Background Stamp Set to create all the card fronts - this was my first time using it and I am in LOOOOVVVEEE with this stamp!! It was so easy to create the plaid backgrounds with it!
I decided to do 2 card fronts each in 4 different colors - it made the process move a little faster.
I decided not to add any sentiments to the card fronts or insides. It makes some of the cards easy to use for other occasions than Christmas or Holiday cards. Some of these can be just because or birthday etc.
I finished off the inside of the cards with the same images that I stamped off once before stamping on the inside of the card and that was it!
To see how these cards came together check out my video below:

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube. If the products have little icons below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased. You can hover over the icons and it will tell you what store that link will take you to. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home with my kids! I appreciate your support more than words can say!
I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
