Here in NZ we have a midsummer Christmas celebrated in the heat with a glass of chilled something or other sipped under a shady tree! I hope it makes you feel hot if you're in a cold climate.
So here is a summer santa looking sharp (and cool) in his beach shorts and shirt, with paper piecing, dry embossing, and stencilling. The paper piecing is from tiny snippets of leftover patterned paper.
Stamp (paperpieced): Close to my Heart
3D EF: unknown
Stencil (using one side of a diecut cloud) unknown
Sentiment: Papermania
Punch: Fiskars
Also: Copics, gold pen, Stickles, DI's

Beautiful funny card. Yes, christmas is always related to snow and cold. But never thought that in other country's can be warm weather. Thank you for joining at stamping sensations.
What a great card this is - we're heading into Winter here at high speed. Sigh. Pretty to look at but ...........
Santa does look all ready for a surfing session! Super paper piecing as well.
