RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE.......APRIL 2023 ENTRY

 

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.

I am running late with my entry to the Rudolf Days Challenge over at 

SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG 

as it ends at midnight tonight.

I have 3 cards I made a few weeks ago.


 





These are all 5"x7" size tent fold cards.

I used the Hunkydory little book of Festive Poems for the images.

I backed them onto snippet card stock and slotted 2 of them in the corners like photo corners.

The corners were made from snippets also.

I then added some gems to the images, ribbons, and stick pins made by an old blog friend who got me into blogging.

Thank you for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment you make.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

 

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE....DT CARDS.....MARCH 2023

 

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.

Well it's the 25th of the month again and time for the Rudolf Days Challenge over at

SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG 

The challenge runs from today till the end of the month.

ONE ENTRY PER PERSON

but you can put more than one card on your post.

There is always a lovely prize for the person randomly drawn out.

 Here is what I made this month for my DT cards.

 


 




These are all 5"x5" in size.

I rounded off the corners on all of them.

The dies used are a mixture of cheap Amazon ones and the holly one is a Memory Box one sent to me by Maureen.

The Holly die cut I heat embossed with pearl embossing powder and used some red Nuvo drops on the berries.

I decided for the majority of this years Christmas cards to make smaller ones.

I will only make larger ones for my family.
