January Rudolph Days


Each month from the 25th to the end, Maureen runs the Rudolph days challenge to help us get our Christmas stash started and going all year long so there's no rush in November to get everything done! The first challenge of 2020 is open and here's my Christmas card.
I just love this little SSS gnome die and will be using it often to make Christmas cards this year, for sure! I added a die-cut window that was colored with an antique linen distress marker and put a snippet of dsp behind it to indicate snow outside. The holly and berries were done with a Poppystamps die set, and the tree, star, and tree holder were done with SU! framelit dies. I added some gold stickles and red liquid pearl dots to decorate the tree, and used a snippet of glittered gold card to die cut the star. The gnomes outfit and background wood "paneling" were done with a Brutus Monroe Winter Cabin paper pad and the Merry die is from Sunny Studio, done in gold mirror card.

This is my entry for this month's Rudolph Days January Christmas card challenge

Thanks for checking in today and here's wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

You created a warm, cozy scene for the gnome. I love this and love that gnome. Every time I went to order it, it was sold out or on pre-order.

Awwww...this is so darn sweet, Carol.
The gnome is darling. I am even seeing them made up into Valentines cards too! Or holding little signs that say Happy Birthday!

Yours is darling and so are your embellishments here.

Thanks for taking part in the January Rudolph Days Challenge.
