SNIPPETS & RUDOLPH DAY CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone

Happy Tuesday .. .. I hope you are all making the most of the lovely sunshine .. .. after all who knows how long it will last?  

On Saturday I shared a Christmas card I had made and mentioned at the time that it would be good to make the same card but in different colours .. .. so that is what I did on Sunday and I finally have chance to post them here .. .. 




These used:

Images:  Hero Arts "K5620" and "H5629"
Sentiment:  Penny Black "30316" Season's Gifts
Memento Dew Drop Ink Pads:  Rose Bud, Teal Zeal, Toffee Crunch, Pear Tart & Pistachio (the green card ended up with two colours on it for some reason)
X-Cut Heart Punch
Pearls
My Trusty Sewing Machine

Not sure which colour I like the most.

So I thought I would share my makes in the Rudolph Day Challenge and also in Pixie's Snippets Playground Challenge where we are encouraged to use up our leftovers.  I was able to use up some of the white card snippet mountain and a few glitter card snippets so I was well chuffed.

The Rudolph Day Challenge is a great prompt for us to get ahead of our Christmas makes.  You know .. .. those cards we end up making in a last minute panic and flurry come November/December (well I say "we" .. .. but I definitely mean "me").  But this year it is going to be VERY different!!  I am going to be super organised .. .. she says with her fingers tightly crossed!!.

These four cards have bumped my Christmas card total up into double figures .. .. woo hoo!! .. ..  and I now have a grand total of 11 cards sitting waiting in my Christmas stock box.  Not a huge amount I know, but better than I have manged in previous years .. .. and it is still early days!

Anyway . . . off to go and cross some work of that "crafty do list" next.

Catch you soon

  6. Gorgeous. A really good idea to do them in different colours that does bump up the numbers. I think I like the pink best. Good luck with your plan - I think making a plan is a good start. x

  12. Wow, lovely cards Jules, beautiful colours, and so good to have some Christmas cards ready in advance ! Yes, the weather is absolutely wonderful, but towards the end of the week, we could get some rain. Also good for nature of course, and time to make more cards, as, with the lovely weather, I was busy in the garden. :) All the best ! Enny

  14. They are all gorgeous but my fave is the teal one. Only because I love teal!! We had a lovely walk at the beach this afternoon. No wind, lots of warm sun and a 2.5 mile walk. A real treat after being stuck in the house for a few weeks. Hugs, Carol S.xx

  22. Hola Jules! realmente hermoso el colorido de estas preciosas tarjetas, yo tampoco sabría decirte cuál me gusta más. Lo que sí puedo decirte es que me encantan todos los detalles con que decoraste el árbol, los adornos de perlas y el corazón como estrella es una dulzura! Unos trabajos encantadores!
    Un beso!
