Greetings friends. I wanted to continue the holiday hop by making another item that is not a card. I love making cards, but sometimes I want to make gifts or holiday decor as well.

One of my favorite IO dies is their St Nick die. For this project, I used it to make a holder for a candy cane, but as I was adding my tag message to his hands, I thought it would be so cute to print out names and make dinner table place card holders. It would be so cute!

To make my Santa, I cut out all the pieces and used Copic markers to color his face. I added a piece of paper in the back to hold on to the candy cane. When you cut out the Santa, his little arms and hands are cut out, so it is easy to slip something behind them. If I had had small candy canes, I might have added them to his hands.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
