Rudolph Days Challenge - Snippets and Stags Christmas Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been? It has been so hot everything seems to have slowed down. My mother-in-is still in hospital so we will be visiting at the weekend.  I think we  need to look into getting them some help around the house. My mother-law-actually admitted that she might need some help.

I have been entering the Rudolph Days challenge every month to keep me on track with my Christmas cards. Here is a little card I made with Snippets and some of my new dies from the John Next Door range.


Okay you must have noticed that I am obsessed with making Snippets backgrounds. They look great in all different colours. This time I added some lines of glitter card to match one of the mats. 


This is the sentiment that comes with the Round Bauble die set from the John Next Door range. 


You get two stag dies in the Round Bauble set. They face opposite ways I thought they looked nice in rows along the card. 


Have a great weekend. We will be visiting the hospital at the weekend. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie

Love the die of the reindeer on your card Jackie. Great layout and colours.
Wish you all the best with your mother-in-law. It isn't easy to admit that she needs help in and around the house. My mum is exactly the same, she tries to do as much she still can do, only a few things it are.

I've been perusing your "snippets" posts and you've inspired me! Thank you!

I love your use of leftover bits to make gorgeous backgrounds for your cards. The white deer silhouettes look elegant against the blues.

Thanks for joining us at Cut it Up for our Critter challenge!

Loving the snippets background. I first saw these on Carol L.'s blog and fell in love with the idea.

Yours are really pretty colours. So suits the reindeer die and prancing team!

Thanks for taking part in the July Rudolph Days Challenge.

You've created a great card and I love the Rudolfs, especially as one row is going the opposite way!
