Christmas in July, 2018--My Favorite Things Santa's Elves--Prismacolor on Kraft

I fell in love with the Christmas cards Stephanie Klauck made using My Favorite Things Santa’s Elves. I never seemed to get tired of these cute elves so I finally purchased the stamp set myself. I went back and looked again at Stephanie’s cards and watched her video: https://www.mftstamps.com/blog/mftv-december-25-2017/. The only things I changed were some of the colors and the die that she used. I don’t have that die, but I do have a couple of other border dies that worked well.
