Design Team Announcement, A Christmas Challenge, and a Reindeer Card

Happy Sunday y’all

Can you believe there are 2 weeks left until Christmas.  Where has the time gone this year?



I have some exciting news to share with all of you.


I am now part of the Paper Piecings by Nikki Design Team. Nikki has some great SVG’s and I look forward to displaying a lot more of my work using her designs. The card below was completed with one of her designs. You will find Nikki’s blog here, http://paperpiecingsbynikki.blogspot.com/. I invite you all to stop by and check out her wonderful work.

Nikki also has a wonderful opportunity for a great prize on her blog. Take a look and enter her challenge. All you have to do is use on of her Paper Piecings Designs from her store here http://paperpiecingsbynikki.com/ to create a Scrapbook page and link it up with the link provided. IT should be a lot of fun!!! I can’t wait to see what each of you have created for this Christmas challenge.


Now for the card.

This is my first Design Team Project and I had a lot of fun putting Rudolph together. For this card, I used the Just Believe Christmas Pattern Set found here, http://www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com/category_20/ChristmasWinter.htm.

I put Rudolph together and added him to the festive holiday paper.  This paper is from the Recollections collection and has a bit of glitter and sparkle.  Every reindeer needs a little bit of sparkle, right? I also added a little Happy Holiday’s message cut with one of my Spellbinders and a piece of scrap paper.

I completed the card by gluing the card front to a sheet of purple card stock cut 6” x 6” with rounded corners, I then added a sheet of white card stock on the inside so it would be easier to write a message to the recipient. I also rounded the corners of this insert and stamps a string of lights at the top and the bottom. I used my Stampin’ Up blending pen along with my Stampin’ Up green and red stamp pads to add color to the light strings.


Thanks for stopping by today, I look forward to your comments.
