Santa Card
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.

Instructions
Cutting Out the Mistletoe Card
- Unzip the download file.
- Then open up Design Space and start a new project.
- Click Upload and find where you saved the unzipped version of the downloaded files for this project.
Then go into the SVG Folder and select the SVG Files- Select all and click on
- then select the dotted line
- and change from basic cut to score line
- then select the card and score line
- and click on
- Then click on the Make It button
- The prepare screen will appear
- because I wanted the hat pom pom and other white hat piece to be cut out of white glitter card stock, I changed which mat they are on
- first select the pom pom
- click on the three dots "…" and then select move object
- then click on a new mat and click on continue
- then select a color that hasn't been used for the new mat and click continue
- then go back to the mat with the other hat piece and do the same
- then a revised prepare screen will appear
- make sure to move your two hat pieces close together
- Now if everything looks correct on it, click on the continue button
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.
