Rudolph Christmas Treats Fry Box

Santa was feeling lonely!!

So I made him a friend... 

Rudolph with his nose so bright...

And here is the Punch Art crib sheet... oops just realised I took all of these photos before I put his Festive Flower Builder ears on! Back soon...

Though I have to admit that the Rudolph face looks a lot scarier when you just stick the bits on top of each other! Definitely better with eyes to the front and mane/antlers at the back!

Wonderland Antlers Lattice!?

Before I start - remember to check out the new Weekly Deals - also scrolling off to the right of the blog... I will be ordering on Friday if you want to save yourself that postage!

Couldn't really think what else to call this!!?

This one is rather marmite! 

Everyone has either loved it  - or hated it! Though I think the over-riding reason has been antlers full stop - rather than this card!

I shall remain on the fence! At least it is different!!

Again Early Espresso antlers stamped repeatedly without re-inking in between. Top & bottom at full strength - centre weakest... all with the aid of my trusty Stamp A Ma Jig...

Now I have jut remembered something else I REALLY wanted to try.... maybe at the weekend!

Sparkly Wonderland Antlers

Another idea for my favourite trio stamping of Antlers...

Trio of antlers stamped in black without re-inking in between...

Add a panel of Winter Wonderland antler paper...

And a strip & a bow of Silver ribbon...

And then finish off your stamped antlers with glue and a sprinking of glitter... can't remember if I used Dazzling Details - or Fine Tip glue plus Dazzling Diamonds fine glitter...! Either works...

Sparkles, glistens & causes a WOW in the flesh...but simple to make... got to love that!

Wonderland Antlers #2 - White Embossed

 

Another simple card idea for the antlers stamp... and a BIG THANK YOU later...

Again a trio of antlers on a small panel...

But embossed in white this time... really pops in the flesh...

Finished off with the snowflakes stamped and the panels daubed around the edge in Craft Whisper White... 

And for anyone wondering how it would look not embossed... just using the Craft Whisper White ink pad instead... here you go... though my white pad did need re-inking at the time!! So this can definitely be improved upon with a juicier pad...

And I leave you with a REALLY BIG THANK YOU to a number of my readers - you know who you are! 

On Saturdays' long Winter Wonderland card tutorial post... well... I put a certain sentence on here with my typical UK humour!!! LOL!!

Wonderland Antlers #1

Oops...auto scheduling gone rather wrong ( probably me mind!!) ...so just had to switch posts around... which is code for Fancy Fold Friday post now something Special for Saturday!!

Well I was given a challenge.... a couple of my ladies virtually screamed with glee when they saw the antler image in the Wonderland set... so I knew I had to come up with something...

Yes I know an antler image is bang on trend... I can see antlers appearing all over this year's new Christmas products hitting the shops...

But... not me... I could only  think of one thing I would use them for... which involves lots of fussy cutting... and then I discovered that these aren't as easy to cut out as I first thought...

So it was back to the drawing board.... and finally the ideas started to come...

And now I am converted.... loving the antlers! 

This card is simple... just inking up the antlers in Early Espresso... then stamping once, twice, three times... no re-inking in between. And stamping off once before stamping the greeting onto the panel.... all with the aid of my trusty Stamp A Ma Jig of course!
