Rudolph Day Cards for June

Morning Folks

Was up early this morning ... it was so hot inside even though it was raining outside ... and that means I got going earlier too! I'm hoping to catch up some on my week of doing very little blogging, and even less crafting, today. But first I'll share the two cards I made for Scrappy Mo's June Rudolph Day challenge both using toppers recycled from cards we received last Christmas.

I also got to use up lots of scraps and leftover card. The red/gold spotted card was bits left from a kit that came free with a magazine and the gold mirror card, there always seems to be lots of snippets of that in the drawer so it was good to use up quite a few pieces making this easel card. The Poinsettia embellishments were made using an old but loved set of Spellbinder dies. The greeting was trimmed from the top of the topper and matted and layered to form a stop on the base of the card.

This is just a tent shaped card topped with a snow scene, matted on to mirror card - not obvious in the photo but it's blue. I used a glue pen to mark up various areas on the scene and sprinkled it with iridescent glitter to give it a more festive look.  The bells were die cut from silver cardstock and the greeting is from a page of Pink Petticoat Sentiment Ribbons from 2011, punched out and matted on to more blue mirror card.

I am entering this card into the following challenge:

Pixies Crafty Workshop - anything goes but must use snippets 

Thankfully, the box of Christmas cards is starting to fill up so I may not have to hit the panic button come the first day of December after all. Thank goodness for Mo's Rudolph Day challenge keeping me on track :)

You, too, can join in the fun ... why not make a Christmas card ... it's never too early and you'll have less stress come December!

Happy Crafting,
