Christmas card for the Rudolph Days - November Challenge

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How have you all been while I have been away? We are back now from a wonderful trip. I do love a good cruise. The food, the entertainment and the places to visit it is all great. I will share more when we have settled a bit. Tonight we are going to see a Beatles Tribute band in Fareham with our good friends. Our friends  also helped us to get to and from our cruise.

Here is a small Christmas card I made for the November Rudolph Days Challenge. I made one of my Snippets backgrounds for this one.

I bought lots of A3 black card. I used to buy card blanks with envelopes and then I found that I had lots of envelopes left over. So now I make my own card blanks. When you make a large card blank there is usually enough card left to make a smaller one. I had a layer of silver glitter card for one of the mats. There was enough left over to cut some thin strips. These I used between strips of blue patterned paper to make the background, 

The sentiment die is from the Round Bauble die set from the John Next Door range.

The stags came from the same die set. 

I do hope I have enough Christmas cards. I can't see me having much time next month to make many more. November has been super busy too. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

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.
