Two Festive Looks, One Twinkling Lights Santa

 🎄Twinkling Lights Santa – Two Festive Looks!

Hello, creative friends!

I’m spreading holiday cheer early with two cards featuring the absolutely adorable Twinkling Lights Santa stamp set from SweetMissDaisy Designs! This stamp is one of my Christmas-in-July favorites—it’s full of personality, and the little extras in the set add creative flexibility.

I am on the MISTI blog today with these fun cards.  

Both cards also feature patterned paper from the Holiday Mini Gingham Paper Pack, which brings a cozy, homespun charm to these festive scenes. Even though I used the same Santa and gingham, each card has its own unique spin. Let’s take a look!

Stop by the MISTI blog for all the details!

🎅 Card 1: Twinkling in Red – Inspired by #ArtNudge 725D

For this card, I drew inspiration from #ArtNudge 725D, which provided the perfect excuse to use a rainbow of colors on the string of Christmas lights. I even added a hint of Christmas light reflection on the ground!

One of my favorite parts of this stamp set? The four separate twinkle hash stamps that let you add sparkle wherever you want! I positioned them around each light to create an extra glow.

💙 Card 2: Santa Goes Red, White & Blue

This second card takes red, white, and blue for the holidays! I created a scalloped blue gingham border along the bottom of the card and placed Santa at the top, letting him take the spotlight.  I couldn't resist making another red, white, and blue-themed card, inspired by the colors in #ArtNudge 725A!

🎁 Great news! The Twinkling Lights Santa stamp set is back in stock in the SweetMissDaisy Designs Etsy store, along with many more wonderful sets for your holiday creations. Whether you go classic or bold with your colors, this cheerful Santa is sure to brighten up your Christmas cards.

✨ A Little Help from My MISTI

Here’s how the MISTI tools made this project smooth and stress-free:

• 🩵 Original Teal MISTI: for perfectly clean stamping on both cards

• 🔲 Sticky Mats: held my panels securely for all the layered stamping

• 📏 0 Center Cut Align Ruler: made adding those gingham borders a breeze

• 🧭 Alignment Grids: helped align the sentiments with total precision

These tools don’t just save time—they boost confidence. I knew each element would land just where I wanted it, and that left me free to enjoy the creative process.

Thanks so much for stopping by today—I hope these two takes on the same stamp spark some ideas for your own Christmas crafting!
