Rudolph Days and Introducing Half-Made Cards Stashbuster

 Hello!  If you are a regular visitor, you may know I have been trying to do Stashbuster challenges, the most recent was using up an old patterned paper pack.  Well, since I finished that, I am moving on to a pathetically large pile of half-finished cards.  I will explain this one below.

The snowflake background was already stamped.  The Santa was stamped and die cut.  The peg stamp piece was already cut and stamped.  Even that sentiment banner was stamped and fussy cut!  Basically all I had to do to finish this card was to color the image, layer them up and put them on a card base! Oy!  

There is plenty more cards to make from my pile, but it feels SO GOOD to finish even one!

I am linking this up to the May Rudolph Days challenge! Thank you for visiting!

Being that that much constitutes hard work on our parts some days, you deserve dessert! That's an adorable card and I love the pattern mix of the papers, xoxo

Such a cute card! The santa is really cute. I always love to see what you do with your peg stamps because you use them so well. The blue and red are a nice combination.

Your little whimsical Santa is super cute! Love the layers you've created and good for you on getting some pieces placed together to use them up from your pile! Really great idea! I only have backgrounds, but I sure need to pull them out and use them! Thanks for the inspiration!

What a cute card with those two great backgrounds! Way to use up your stash. I used up one older paper pad recently too! That's one down, 396 to go! (j/k) but it feels like I have that much sometimes! LOL
