friends, and visitors.
I know I am a bit late with my Rudolf Day cards,
but there were other challenges that collided with
it on the last 2 days, and I wanted to also join those challenges too.
So as the saying goes better late than never.
The Rudolf Challenge is to make 2 Christmas
cards, and post them between the 25th of the
month and the 30th of the month, or the end of
the month.
I think this is a really good idea as you get
quite a few cards done before your Christmas
rush of cards.
So for anyone interested in joining in you
will find the link HERE .
Now to my 2 cards.
The first card was a just under 6"x6" size.
I used First Edition Gilded Winter 6x6 paper
pad.
I cut the front cover shorter and added some
double sided sticky paper to the part that was
longer and used gilding mica flakes on it.
I then added a border in pearlised embossed
card cut out with the Spellbinders Fleur De
Lis Accents Die.
I also used this die for the design round the
sentiment, and the sentiment was a freebie in
a craft magazine.
The tree die is Sue Wilson Die, and I drew with
a pencil around the die and cut it out in mirri
card, and then used Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow
in the center.
My 2nd card is just over 5"x5" size.
I stamped all around the edges with border
stamp, and Pine Needles Distress Ink.
The paper is from a 12x12 sheet of Christmas
paper from Hobbycraft.
I stamped a reindeer, and coloured it in with promarkers.
The sentiment was stamped and cut out with
a Spellbinders Die Frame One after covering
my card with sticky double sided paper, I then
peeled back the sticky sheet, and put C/S Iced
Snow all over it.
I then added some C/S Gold Glue Dots to the
edges.
Phew I hope you haven't fallen asleep with all
this description.
Thank you for you visit and comments.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
I would like to enter this into the following
challenges.

Beautiful. I have become a fan of cards finished inside and out and sometimes even the back. Love the detail on both cards and am thrilled to see the inside of both cards finished. How wonderful. Excellent. - Jim
ReplyDeleteAfternoon Jenny, You are putting me to shame haha !! I vowed when 2014 came in, that I would make a Christmas card every months, how many have I done - 'none' haha, never mind eh !!
ReplyDeleteYour two cards are really lovely, as always. You will indeed have a fine 'stash' of them when the time comes, I will probably start in December, as usual hahahaha !!
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Two very lovely cards. Am so loving the Sue Wilson tree and your sparkling faux mat. TFS the idea about the gilding flakes. It made a stunning border with the Fleur de Lis. Such a pretty design & use of your products. #2 is adorable and I love the way you've used the snow effects round the sentiment mat. These are just so pretty inside & out. TFS & Hugs
