Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
When I was cleaning out my UFO box, I found some of these Santas
all stamped and ready to color. So I pulled out my Copics and got to work.
This stamp set was retired long ago, but I love the stamps in the set and continue to
use them. I hope you don't mind.

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
Who could mind when those Santa's are just as cute as can be Bonnie...I sure don't mind seeing them over and over again! Your coloring on them is wonderful and I love the backgrounds you created for each of them too! Sweet, sweet cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteI won't mind if you continue to use them year after year, Bonnie - he's such a wonderful Santa and you've framed and colored him so beautifully!
ReplyDelete=]
He reminds me of some wood carved Santas I've seen, Bonnie, and you've colored him so well and given him wonderful backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteSweet Santa & beautiful coloring, Bonnie!!
ReplyDeleteNow why would we mind a well-aged stamp? You've mastered the use of this Santa in two ways, but I'm sure he'll be good for another hundred years of use. Very nice cards!
ReplyDeleteBring him out every year. Bonnie he's fantastic! Two marvelous cards!
ReplyDeleteI love them both! Such an awesome image and your coloring and backgrounds are perfect!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards using this lovely Santa image Bonnie with some brilliant colouring. It's always good to use up some bits that have been waiting for some creative love. x
ReplyDeleteBoth wonderful designs and great Santa's. x
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Bonnie - such a fab Santa! Love the scenes you set him in too - he leaps off his cards! Thanks so much for playing at Sparkles!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely long tall Santa Bonnie (or St. Nicholas in his long robe) - wonderful coloring and arch framing! Hey, we have to use what we have right and people probably have similar Santas from other companies. Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational: Santa! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteOf course we don't mind you using old stamps. In fact I like to see it. I can definitely see why you like that Father Christmas, he is so elegant. Great cards xx
ReplyDeleteNope, we don't mind at all. You did a wonderful job coloring Santa. Love your cards. I use old stamps & dies a lot and combine them with new also. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMind? No way! I would love to see the oldies more often. No matter that it's retired or out of business, or whatever. This reminds me of my pencil Santas that I put on the windowsill every year. They're some of my oldest pieces but favorites. This looks absolutely wonderful, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteLove that old-fashioned Santa! Love the layout of each card and the rich colouring.
ReplyDeleteSuch a classy Santa! Beautiful cards!

ReplyDeleteFor some reason when I commented on a card of yours the comment went to two cards. Never had that happen before. Love this Santa and too bad he’s so hard to find. Beautiful coloring and framing too!
ReplyDeleteSimply Beautiful Colored Christmas Cards, dear friend:-) Thank you so much for sharing. Love and Hugs this Christmas Season :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Bonnie and the first with the embossed snowflakes makes him standout wonderfully. Thanks for sharing with us at Sparkles!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful vintage Santa, two great layouts. I do love the red and white of the first ♥
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful. I can see why you love this magnificent vintage Santa stamp.
ReplyDeleteLove your old fashioned Santa, Bonnie. Two beautiful cards, my friend. xx
