When I first started entering challenges I won a challenge and was sent some stamped images of this fabulous Santa. I have tried to find the wooden stamp, which has been discontinued but it is available as a clear stamp as part of a set but I can't remember who makes it. I almost bought the wooden one for 50p from somebody at a craft fair as she said she had it at home and didn't use it as didn't know what to do with it. She liked a card I had made so much I inspired her to keep it, damn! Update - Thanks to Jackie for telling me the make, found it on eBay but as it is American the postage is ridiculous.
I went for a vintage look, distressing the edges with Vintage Photo DI and a distress tool. The papers are Dovecraft North Pole and I used 3 Martha Stewart snowflake punches.

Gorgeous card Marianne! It is a beautiful image and does look familiar, I'll rack my brain and see it anything pops up. I love the vintage feel of your card, the papers are lovely and look great with the Kraft card. I hope one of your followers can help. Debra x

Thank you for reminding me that I have this Rubber Stampede wooden stamp Marianne, it must be time to dig it out again! I have to get cracking now to replace the 21 Christmas cards that my grand-daughter Sian has filched from my stock for her fundraising event!!!

I can understand the appeal of this lovely stamp Marianne. He looks just like he should do...I do find some Father Christmas stamps have a sinister look about them!! xx

Marianne, this is a beautiful card, and I love the fact that it is such a traditional Christmas image and colours. (Those are my favourite type of Christmas cards)!

Love this card Marianne x
I hate to tell you Marianne but I have this stamp. It is my favourite Santa stamp ever. Iy you would like some images, I would be more than happy to do you some. I love using Vintage Photo DI and just pull the ink in with a damp brush. Or just Smokey Grey Versafine and adding colour to his face. Just adding a touch of colour to his face. If we do get up to our new home, now on the outskirts of Lowestoft, you can come and stamp some yourself!! Hugs, Carol S.xx

Hello Marianne, I came across your blog through lotv as I love how the design team decorate their cards. I have both the Santa stamps you are looking for, the wooden stamp and the clear stamp ( with 8 smaller Christmas stamps on it) please let me know which you would like and I will post it to you.
This is my sons email address, I can give you mine if you wish.
Best wishes Kathy
