Press the layer key and cut the top of Santa's face out of pink card stock. Load white card stock into the Cricut, press the Layer and Shift keys and cut Santa's beard. Assemble Santa, highlight the sack with black glitter glue and the belt with gold glitter glue. Set aside until the glitter glue dries.
4. Cut the Christmas patterned card stock approximately 3 3/4 inches wide by 4 inches high. Cut the dark red card stock approximately 1/4 inch larger than the dimensions of the Christmas patterned card stock. Glue the Christmas patterned card stock on top of the dark red card stock leaving a 1/4 inch border on all sides. Center Santa on top of the Christmas patterned card stock and glue in place. Center the card stock with the Santa on the card and glue in place.
