My card this month is a Woodware stamp coloured with Copics and cut out with a scalloped die which I think is a Crealie one. Image and sentiment both on scraps of white card. I mounted it onto a scrap of dark blue card and embossed the card blank with the Stampin Up falling snow embossing folder.

House Mouse For Rudolph Day
I'm just managing to squeeze into the last Rudolph Day challenge by the skin of my teeth. Sadly Maureen has decided to close the blog due to health issues. Thank you Maureen for keeping it going for so long and all the best for your "challenge retirement".
I decided to use a House Mouse stamp that hasn't seen a lot of ink since I bought it.

Father Christmas for Rudolph Day
Well here we are at the penultimate Rudolph day for 2023! Unbelievable!!! I have used a NBUS stamp which came free last year, I think,with a magazine.
It is a Raymond Briggs Father Christmas and quite a large stamp, I coloured him with Promarkers and drew the border round the edge. The paper is out of my stash and was originally in a Simon Says Stamp kit.

Rudolph Day March
I'm still using some of the very old decoupage I have in my stash. I found this small Christmas rose quite difficult to use. Eventually I found some Christmassy paper that worked with it.

Rudolph Day January 2023
I made a second card with the paper and just a strip of red card for the sentiment. I have to confess I like this one better. I think the die might well end up in my 'for sale' box.

Rudolph Day - November
Well here we are at the last Rudolph Day of the year. I can't believe how fast it has come round. I'm also happy to say that although I still have some Christmas cards to blog,I have made enough for this year!
Back in October when I guest designed for Darnell at NBUS I used some freebie stamps which featured the Twelve Days of Christmas. Here are some more from the set.

Rudolph Day -October
Can you believe that there is just one more Rudolph Day this year? I can't! So if you haven't made a start on your Christmas cards you'd better get a wiggle on!

Rudolph Day - September 2022
Well normal service is not yet resumed as still testing positive and feel very lightheaded. However I did manage to make a card yesterday for the Rudolph Day challenge, and really should have chosen to do something less fiddly!
The die was another magazine freebie from quite a while ago. Originally I had intended embedding the holly leaves as well, but by the time I'd done the candles and berries I was beginning to lose enthusiasm, and actually I quite like it as it is. I added the peel off stars and sentiment as it looked a bit bare at the bottom.

Rudolph Day - August
Well it's three weeks since I last blogged! My excuse is that during the very hot days my craft room was unbearable even with a fan. I was also in the middle of a watercolour painting that had to be put on hold as the paint was drying too quickly, so I still have that to finish off. But I have made a Rudolph card!
I cut the red mat out with a die that looks like s fringed blanket (NBUS), but as it is an American size it was too long for our DL cards, so I just chopped the ends off. The Noel stamp is from Woodware and I thought it was time it had another airing and I fancied doing some paper piecing. The Christmas paper with little penguins on is out of my stash. Added some bling with pale blue rhinestones to tie in with the paper.

July Rudolph Day
It's Rudolph Day again- well actually it was yesterday, but we have until 31st to enter! I was recently looking through some old cardmaking magazines and saw an idea for using designer papers which I thought was a great way of using some up.
The sentiment used the same die and the borders were from the same set (ex QVC, I think).

Rudolph Day June
Another quick and easy card for Rudolph Day! I have to admit I'm really liking these Masterpieces Made Simple from Penny Black.
