Make this cute Santa Card for the holiday season that is shaped as Santa’s head.

The Santa Card is made to look 3d using foam dots. This is a simple but fun card to make using card stock and your Cricut, even a beginner can make this. I used glitter card stock for the white on his hat and the pom pom to give it some sparkle.

Homemade cards are always a great gift to send to someone during the holiday season. As homemade cards are a gift from the heart.

    The next screen will be where you will select the type of card stock you are using. If you do not see the material in your material favorites, click on "browse all materials" to find the weight of cardstock that you are using. For example the white Cardstock I used is medium weight, you will need to select "Medium Weight"..
    Once you have Design Space set, you are now ready to prepare your mat. I used a brayer when placing the Cardstock on the mat, this helps in making sure that the paper is adhered to the mat and will help in keeping the paper from ripping or moving when it is being cut.
