Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday! I've been invited to join The Rudolph Holiday Challenge as a Guest Designer for the month of February and what a better way to start on my holiday cards for the 2025 Season, since I'm a terrible last minute Christmas Card creator, plus I'm honored for the invite!
My card features an adorable, gift bearing Elf from Bugaboo Stamps. Sadly, Bugaboo is no longer in business but I've always loved Jodie's art work and I have quite the collection of her images.
I've colored the image using Copic Alcohol Markers, the patterned papers are from the Gnome Christmas 6x6 Mega paper pad from Hobby Lobby, and the sentiment is a pre-made strip from a holiday pack by Simon Says Stamp.
The focal panel has been cut using a fancy edged nesting rectangle die and popped of foam pads for dimension. The sentiment has also been elevated and I've added red gems for a finishing touch.
It feels strange yet satisfying to have completed a holiday card at this time of year. I may try to keep this up so I'm not completely stressed in November and early December, so we shall see.
Please pop over to the Rudolph Days Holiday Challenge and get some early festive inspiration. Create a holiday card and we hope to see you there!
Until next time, Happy Crafting.
Donna

ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful card, love the papers and of course Jodie's images. I have quite a collection too. x
ReplyDeleteSo adorably cute and pretty, beautifully colored too, my last old hard drive had all my Bugaboo on it and I lost it all, so was fun to see some again!
