It's the 25th of September, and that means it's time for Rudolph day! Each month, I try to play along and make 2 Christmas cards for the challenge, and it's a great way to add to that holiday stash ahead of time.
I've used some dsp from MME for these cards, along with some red card stock cut with a PTI scalloped banner. The "tags" were done with a SU! chalk talk framelit die on crumbcake card stock, and embossed with a Cuttlebug ef. I attached them with some retired SU! early espresso satin ribbon and added a sentiment done with my quickutz. The card base is early espresso card stock.
I'm also entering these cards into the following challenges:
Simon Says Wednesday challenge - "anything goes"
The Snippet Playground #143 - "use snippets"
Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful day!

This is such a great idea to emboss on the tag! I will have to try that for sure! What a pretty card with such warmth between the embossed image and they the word Joy! I LOVE it!

That embossing folder on your crumb cake tag is so sweet!! The whole design and the colors and the use of snippets are fantastic, Carol! I sure hope your special day is wonderful, too!! Hugs, Darnell

Pretty Christmas cards Carol! I love that tag but new bought it because I wasn't sure how to use it. I love it used this way! The embossing looks fabulous, love the papers and colors you used too. Hugs, Brenda
Always love your cards when I see you've used a product I recognize & have! This C/B embossing is a super way to use that folder as a small tag against that rich red scalloped banner and that lovely background paper. Loving that sentiment too. TFS
The embossing on the gold tags look really lush! Very nice cards x Jan x
