For my friends in the snow or cold weather.. these fun tropical “So Santa” Stampin’ UP! Christmas cards are for you today!
Although we live a mile from the San Francisco Bay, it’s not exactly “tropical” here at Christmas.. but I have been known to be out gardening on Christmas! 🙂 While I’d rather be at the beach, I do enjoy our mild climate!!
I created some cute tropical surfboard Santa cards with the Stampin’ Up! note cards and some tropical stamp sets, like the Tropical Chic set used above, and the Waterfront set used below.
Supplies & Sets used:
The cute stitched edge at the bottom of both cards above was done with the Sweetly Stitched framelit set. Cute!!
Each Santa image was stamped with the Memento Black ink pad on Whisper White Stampin’ Up! cardstock (die cut with the Stitched Shape Framelits), then colored with my Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.
As I was making these fun tropical Christmas cards, I was also thinking about the Hung with Care Hostess set and the cute stocking with the hibiscus flowers.. so I made a 3rd card in my tropical Christmas series 🙂
Can you think of anyone who might need a little tropical cheer this month? Send them over here to my blog today for a little smile 🙂

Hi Patty, love your tropical santa card! So cute! I am jealous of your mild California weather compared to New York weather. Enjoy!
So glad you like the cards today! Thank you! We are finally getting some winter weather.. cooler temps in the 40’s at night.. brrr for here!!
Good morning Patty,
Ohmygosh how cute. Love it…Youre lucky to have the weather you have in winter…..but then again I like the change of the seasons and I LOVE snow..lol…. Have a great day.
Thank you! so glad you like them!! 🙂 We don’t have much change of seasons here.. but I do enjoy the milder weather. Sitting here watching the squirrels run around in the backyard now… glad they have fur coats!! 🙂
Patty,
I have followed you for years & enjoy your Creations. Today’s Santa just made me laugh. Living by Huntington Beach we love Santa at the beach & surfing!
So glad you like them Shari!! I grew up in Pasadena, so Huntington Beach was my “stomping grounds” in the summer!! Fun memories! 🙂
What fun cards! Perfect for me living on Maui! I especially like Santa paired with that pretty hibiscus stocking… great ideas!
Thanks, Cheryl!! So glad you enjoyed them! 🙂
