Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
This St Nick die set has been sitting in my NBUS box for over a year.
Darlene and Diane gave me a good reason to get it out.
I raided my scrap bags for colored cardstock and cut away!
So many little pieces to put back together. I do love a puzzle though!
I added some ink blending to all the pieces before assembling.
Since this Santa is so tall, I thought he would work great as a money holder.
I cut and folded for a Monarch size slimline card, adding an extra 1 1/2 inch
to long side. That 1 1/2 inch is folded up to hold the money.
The Merry Christmas die he's standing on is from an old and long retired
Stampin' Up! die set.

I love this set and made a card back in February with him. I also have another one cut out and ready to put on a card so I may be joining you at Peace on Earth, Bonnie. Making this into a money holder was such a great idea.
He is such a handsome Santa, Bonnie! Very 'old world' and you've really created a beautiful card for cash!

I love this old-timey Santa! He reminds me of my small collection of "Pencil Santas" I've had for ages. Great idea to make this into a money holder, and who better to deliver the gift than Santa? So cute!
Oh he's fun! What a great card!
Fabulous and festive! Great job putting St. Nick together. Perfect for the POE challenge board.
A wonderful idea—having the card serve a dual purpose! It will convey heartfelt wishes while also delivering a gift of money. I’m sure the recipient will be very happy and truly appreciate your card.
