A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

RUDOLPH DAY CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday!  I hope your week is going well.  

One of my MANY new year resolutions was to make a Christmas card each week .. .. and I suddenly realised yesterday that I haven't made a single one!!  Tut tut!!!

So to get back on track I have made four all the same and am taking them over to the Rudolph Day Challenge.  Only today left to enter for January so I had better get a wriggle on!! 

I did intend to post these yesterday as my Teeny Tiny Tuesday makes .. .. but the day ran away with me as usual .. .. so my Christmas cards are "teeny tiny" ones.  A whole 3.5 inches square.  

So here we go:



The main ingredient for these cards is my ScanNCut machine.  I used this to cut all the different layers (super quick and speedy).

A free Tattered Lace Magical Christmas USB accompanied my machine so I decided to have a go with that (for the first time) and cut the Leaping Reindeer. (There are lots of images on the USB but I am not sure how many of them I will use .. .. lots of them aren't my style at all .. .. .. but we will see when I have had chance to play a little further).

Backing Papers:  Forever Friends "Timeless"
Sentiment Die:  Dovecraft "Christmas Basics"
Embossing Folder:  Crafter's Companion "Christmas Merriment"
Woodware Punch:  Small Tag
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
My Trust Sewing Machine

So that is me for today.

I will catch you again tomorrow with my DigiStamp Boutique creation for this week.
