Christmas in July

I'm sneaking in with a last minute card for the Rudolph Days Challenge which closes today.

I haven't had much time to craft for the last couple of weeks as our bathroom is being transformed in to shower room with a walk in shower.  There are piles of building materials everywhere and as for the dust...... it gets everywhere!  Hopefully it will be finished by the end of next week.  I did manage to get into my craft room today and sort out a few things at the back of a cupboard.  I came an envelope with ten dark red card blanks with cream stars.  I've no idea where they came from and I can't remember buying them, so I guess they were given to me a long time ago.  I die cut a Memory Box 'Leaping Reindeer' in cream.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Woodware 'Useful Christmas' set, stamped with Versafine 'Crimson Red' on a snippet of cream card.  I corner rounded the corners and attached the sentiment with foam pads to add some dimension.  So a very quick card today and I think I will make a few more using some of the other card blanks as I'm really behind making my Christmas cards this year.

I am joining in the following challenges:

  6. What a brilliant make Luz with your unexpected find … the cream reindeer is perfect for that background. Good luck with your bathroom project .. I’m sure it will be worth it in the end. Our bathroom could do with updating, but tbh with only one bathroom I can’t face it lol! xx

    1. We’ve got a toilet and shower downstairs. The shower is quite ‘compact’ but at least we can shower. I don’t think we could have updated the bathroom without them both. x

  9. The colours and design make for a very elegant card Liz. Sympathise with he bathroom, but will be nice when done, we did the same with our main bathroom, sometimes hubby moans showers in all of them now but more practical.
