Santa’s Snack Break: A Cozy Christmas Card
Because even Santa deserves a cookie break… especially on a Monday morning!
There’s something wonderfully heart-melting about Santa in pyjamas, isn’t there?
Today’s card features the sweetest digital image from Whimsy Stamps, and I couldn’t resist bringing him to life with my Copic Markers. He’s all dressed down in his blue-striped PJs, bunny slippers and all, proudly holding a plate stacked high with warm Christmas cookies. Honestly, if this doesn’t scream “post-Christmas-Eve recovery mode,” I don’t know what does.
Once colored, I popped this charming guy onto a crisp embossed white panel — the texture gives just the right touch of snowy elegance. Behind that, I layered the tiniest hint of shimmering gold, because even Santa’s cozy moments deserve a little sparkle. And then the real showstopper… that red paper. It has the most gorgeous cloth-like finish, the kind of texture that makes you imagine Santa tossing his traditional suit into the laundry and happily climbing into something soft after a long night of sleigh-flying and cookie-sampling.
Love the twist on Santa’s look! Blue stripes add such a fresh, cozy vibe to his jammies—like he’s ready for a Christmas morning full of surprises. Plus, switching up the colors keeps your cards playful and unique, just like Santa himself!
While Santa’s eye color might be up for debate, those vibrant green eyes bring a sparkle of mischief and magic that feels just right. Using Copic’s rich tones, you can blend shades seamlessly to make his eyes pop, adding depth and life to your Santa that captures the playful spirit of the season.
“And truly, Whimsy’s Santa images are hands-down the best I’ve found for Christmas cardmaking — charming, detailed, and full of personality in every single illustration.”
— the Copic blends, the shading on those bunny slippers, and that rich red panel that practically radiates holiday warmth. This entire card feels like a warm mug of cocoa wrapped in cardstock form.
