I tucked Vintage Santa in behind a freebie frame from Raspberry Road Designs and then did a LOT of fussy cutting! It might not be visible from the photo but I fussy-cut the frame and popped it up with foam tape and then fussy-cut just the holly and boughs and popped them up as well - it has a beautiful 3-D look, but still flat for mailing. I added red Stickles to the holly berries. The embossing folder is from Couture Creations and I used some gold twine and star sequins from my stash.

Aw, I think my elf Eli misses Santa and the workshop! Here he is hiding before he jumped out and surprised Vintage Santa! But Santa sees all, so he knew Eli was there the whole time LOL!
