Rudolph Days


I see that the calendar rolled around to the 25th of the month which means it's Rudolph Days again! Time to make some Christmas cards!
I used some textured Wild Wasabi cardstock from SU!, including some favorite Wasabi stitched ribbon to match. I cut the white panel at an angle, embossing  with a SU! softly fallen snowflake folder, then stamped the retired SU! sentiment on the un-embossed portion. I placed them together on the card base with a piece of Wild Wasabi ribbon covering the separated panels. The tree was done with a SU! tree punch and I dotted it with gold stickles. The last step was to punch a star with a SU! mini star punch from red foil cardstock.
I liked the way this turned out so I made a couple more. I used a different  snowflake embossing folder on each card for a little variety.


These are being shared over at the August Rudolph Days challenge where it's always a Christmas theme to help us get our Christmas cards done on time. The challenge is only open until the last day of August.

Thanks for stopping by and have yourself a great weekend too! 

For those living along the coastline in Texas, be safe and please evacuate for your own safety as Hurricane Harvey makes landfall. Sending thoughts and prayers for everyone's safety as this huge, dangerous storm approaches your area.

    I love your tree cards, that's a nice idea to cut at an angle, and the embossing contrasts nicely with the plain. Happy RD xxx

    A lovely idea, each of the cards has its own personality as the different embossing folders change the look

    The angle on these cards is a clever design feature, and makes a great backdrop for the cute tree. The red star adds a nice pop of colour too.

    What a great idea to divide the white section and emboss part of it - a good way to use up strips of ribbon too (I have loads to use up!!)
