Santa Card

Make a Cute Santa Face Card with Your Cricut – A Fun Holiday Craft!

If you’re looking for a jolly and joyful card to make this holiday season, you’re going to love my Santa Face Card! 🎅 This card is shaped like Santa’s head and is bursting with holiday cheer. It’s a simple but fun project you can make with your Cricut, some cardstock, and a little sparkle.

I always say that homemade cards are like sending a hug through the mail—they’re heartfelt, thoughtful, and show someone you care. And what better way to spread holiday joy than with a smiling Santa?

🎅 What You’ll Need:

• My Santa Card SVG (you can find it in my free library – Design #119!)
• Your Cricut cutting machine
• Cardstock in red, white, black, beige, and pink
• Foam dots to create a 3D effect
• Glitter card stock for Santa’s hat trim and pom-pom
• Barley Arts Glue

✂️ Let’s Make Some Magic

Start by uploading the SVG into Cricut Design Space and cutting the pieces from your favorite holiday cardstock. I used glitter card stock for the hat’s white trim and pom-pom to give Santa a little extra sparkle (because he deserves it!).

Once your pieces are cut, it’s time to assemble! Use foam dots between the layers to give Santa a cute 3D pop. This really brings his face to life and makes the card extra special.

Even if you’re a Cricut beginner, this project is easy to follow and fun to make. The shapes are simple, and the layering is straightforward—just follow the order of the pieces and let Santa come together!

💌 Why I Love Handmade Holiday Cards

There’s just something extra special about giving or receiving a handmade card. It shows that you took the time to make something with love—and in my opinion, that’s the best kind of gift.

This Santa Card is perfect for:

• Tucking into stockings
• Sending in the mail to loved ones
• Pairing with a sweet treat or gift card
• Displaying as part of your holiday decor!

🎄 Crafty Tips:

• Try using a peachy skin-tone paper for Santa’s face and a soft pink for his rosy cheeks.
• Add googly eyes for a silly twist!
• Write a sweet holiday message on the inside or add a stamped sentiment.

I hope you have as much fun making this Santa Face Card as I did. It’s such a cheerful project and perfect for spreading some holiday joy. Don’t forget to share your finished card—I’d love to see your crafty creations!

Happy Holiday Crafting!
