First up is Linda at Snail's Space
I love the sweet image Linda used here! This Santa Hedgie has almost delivered the last of his presents. This wee Hedgie is perfect with this Ho Ho Ho sentiment. I think Linda created this snowflake background. I am going to pop over to her blog and read her post to see how she made it! I hope you will pop by her blog too and leave her some compliments!
Next up is Dr. Sonia at Cards, Crafts, Kid's Projects blog
Sonia has made this delightful accordian card. I am loving the soft, non-traditional colours and the pretty die cuts used here. Methinks I now want to make an accordian card too! I am looking forward to reading Sonia's post as she always gives such clear and easy to follow directions. Pop on over to her blog and read along. I am sure she loves comments too!
My card was made at the recent Langley Stampers Card Box outing. Per usual, I forgot to write down the names of the reindeer and wreath die cuts and the embossing folder, but I do believe the red birds are Impression Obsession. The hills are perhaps Lawn Fawn or Stampin Up...?
We cut the background hill from white glitter card and then embossed another piece of it with the birch tree folder. The reindeer is cut from a silver pearlescent card. The birds, wreath and bow were cut from snippets of green and red card. We painted over them all with Wink Of Stella.
I made a boo boo on the inside of my card. I did not press evenly with the sentiment stamp and have some lighter patches. I can not try to correct it at the moment as I am not at home. I usually take an ultrafine black copic pen and sort of place wee dots of ink along where the missing bits of lightish ink are. It seems to blend in better that way as when I just try to draw in the missing light ink, it seems to stand out too much.
The prize this month is this Memory Box, Small Pine Branch

Hi Maureen,

Sorry to cause you so much trouble it's the old brain gets fumbled at times.

happy Rudolph day! I wish I could take credit for the snowflake paper, maureen, but it's from a 6 x 6 pad. beautiful cards! I think I'll try an accordion card too, I love the pretty colours dr. Sonia used and I love the pop of red cardinals on the birch trees of the wintery scene!

Lovely DT cards
I love your cute deer Mo and the background embossed trees and sweet little birds go beautifully. How pretty is Linda's hedgie and I love her snowflake background, and such a great accordian card from Sonia, she is certainly a paper engineer. I have just had my gall bladder surgery so don't think I will get to make a card this time. x
All of these cards are just beautiful and I love your die cut deer. Thanks for the tip about filling in a stamped sentiment because I have that problem all the time.
Hi Maureen,
what a wonderful card and the super sheen is gorgeous.
Love the wonderful scene you have created.
Those embossed trees are wonderful, and what splendid idea the wreath around the reindeer or stags neck.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Super Rudolph inspiration from you all xx
Eventually got around to entering a card, super DT inspiration, Kate x
Beautiful inspirations Mo, thanks for the tip with the stamp too, will try to remember that one Karen x
This is such a majestic deer, Mo! I love the forest scene and I'll bet it really sparkles a lot IRL! Thanks for hosting this fun challenge.
Your card is beautiful, Mo. I love the pretty deer with the wreath and the small red birds! Have a great week!
Great inspiration! That crazy holiday will be upon us before we know it.
Oh goodness! I uploaded my card but somehow the link url shows up instead of my name. Then it appears again, with my name this time. As they are duplicates of the same card, please disregard one of them. Sorry to have messed up but I guess my head is a bit muddled tonight! Thanks for sharing all of these beautiful Christmas cards in the challenge. I could do with some winter cold right about now, as it's hot and uncomfortable where I am!
Such great inspiration! Thank you, ladies! I'm playing just for fun!! Hugs, Darnell
Lovely DT cards. Thank you for the challenge x
Super cute cards by the DT, lots of cute inspiration!
Gorgeous cards, Mo xoxox
Wow what a great variety of fab inspiration cards here. I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favorite because they all feature different looks and techniques. Great job ladies.
wow gorgeous inspiration :)
Love the embossed background on your card Maureen and once again allow me to tell you how much being your DT means! Making Christmas projects has always cheered me up and I find that I am inevitably cheered up whenever I have to share a DT project for you here at the Rudolph Challenge !!
Cheers
Dr Sonia
