SNIPPETS AND RUDOLPH DAY ALL ROLLED INTO ONE!

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all doing well.

Today looks like it is going to be a lovely day weather wise.  One lot of washing done and another waiting to get going .. .. that will mean even more ironing to add to the pile I made yesterday!!  I know what I will be doing this evening!!!  :-(

But I started my day with a make for Sandra's Rudolph Day Challenge which used up snippets from my every growing collection, which means I can also run over to Di's Crafty Snippet Challenge too.  Though I have to admit that I will be sad when all of the holly paper snippets have been used from my paper pack .. .. no full sheets left now .. .. just a few offcuts .. .. hence this piece not being big enough to cover the whole of my card front.  This has to be my favourite holly paper of all time.


  

This used:

Backing Papers:  Papermania "A Silent Night"
Sentiment:  Magnolia "A Merry Christmas Ticket"
Cheery Lynn Die:  "B148"  Holly Flourish
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Nestabilities:  Classic Ovals Large and Deckled Edge Classic Ovals Large
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Ribbon and Cord from my stash box

I really enjoyed my little crafty play this morning .. .. but now it is back to table plans and orders.

Have a lovely day everyone.

Love

    Hi Jules what a fab card ..and yes love the paper too!! do you know what I do with the DP I love?
    I scan them, file them and make them into digi paper and print off as need them.
    This card would also qualify for hazelnut's Christmas challenge as she is looking for green.. holly etc!! and though this was for it till read only mentioned two, oh impressed with that sewing! love Shaz in Oz.x

    This is wonderful Jules! A lovely card. I think I have those papers to! I agree about the holly...it is really pretty.

    Before I retired, I stockpiled a lot of Christmas papers and now I am sure glad that I did!...I sometimes plan a casual ladies evening before at Christmas....we sit around my dining room table and make a Christmas project of some kind. I supply the plan, the paper and ribbon, embellisw etc, and they supply lots of laughter and Christmas cheer.

    Just beautiful Jules! I can see why you love that backing paper so much - it's still available in fact if you look online.

    It's very similar to a soft holly backing card I have, but no name 'cos I checked :(

    Lovely to see yu playing along with Rudolph Day and the Playground when you're so very busy!

    Hugs, Di xx

    I do like this Christmas card very much Jules especially that grungy Christmas ticket and the "berries". I am not in the swing of card-making yet (let alone those Christmas ones!!) but I did have a few in reserve luckily. Take care, Pauline xx

    Hi Jules, your card is just beautiful and that holly paper is a favourite of mine too but I've not got even a tiny scrap left. But what a coincidence, the card I've just made, a bit late, for Rudolph Day, includes snippets from that same paper pack! As usual, I'm totally in awe of your machine stitching skills - such straight lines :) Hugs, Elizabeth xx

    This is another astonishingly beautiful snippets creation by you, Jules! I LOVE anything holly on a Christmas card and I'd be sad, too, if that was the end of that delicious paper!
