The Background – Snow or Confetti, You Choose!
I started with the Hero Arts Celebration Press Plate (part of the Yule Fuel Collection). I love how versatile this plate is—it looks like snowflakes when foiled in white but could also become a confetti background in bright colors. For this project, I went snowy, since my elf needed a winter wonderland to stand in.
The Sassy Elf
Next came my focal point: a die cut elf from the Yule Fuel Collection. He’s cheeky, a little silly, and absolutely festive. To give him personality, I used ColorWheel Cardstock in:
- Cascade (blue)
- Dahlia (pink)
- Fern (green)
The mix of colors makes him bold and fun—perfect for standing out against the snowy background.
The Cheeky Sentiment
Every good elf needs a punchline, and this one couldn’t be better:
“OMG! Santa!”
The die cut letters are crisp, bright, and perfectly straight across the card front (in the video, I share my favorite tip for gluing letters evenly every time).
