Oh wow…can anyone believe it is the middle of October already? Before you know it, we’ll be talking about Thanksgiving in the US and Christmas shopping! Nooooo!!!! I’m not ready!
But, it’s Thursday and you know what that means! It’s the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge! We have a super fun sketch for you to try this week. You’ll be amazed at how different all the designer cards are! Here’s the sketch!
- The base is 5-1/4 x 10-1/2 Night of Navy cardstock, folded in half.
- On the 5 x 5 Whisper White layer, I added 1/2″ strips of Merry Moments Designer Paper, then a 1/4″ strip of Gold Metallic Cardstock on top, in the criss-cross pattern like the sketch.
- I inked the Jolly Christmas greeting with Night of Navy Ink, then removed the color on the holly leaves with a Blender Pen and re-colored with Old Olive and Real Red Markers. I also stamped the greeting again with Red Red Ink on scrap Whisper White, and cut out the Jolly banner to adhere over the Night of Navy one with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The reindeer was stamped with Soft Suede ink on scrap Whisper White, hand-cut and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, too.
- I used a Red Candy Dot for his nose.
I really like the clean design of this card with lots of white space! OK…now go check out the rest of the Challenge Team to see what they did this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!

I just love that reindeer; he looks great with that wonderful sentiment! The candy dot nose is the perfect touch!!
Very cute!
I love the rich colours of this Christmas card – SO beautiful!
So cute! The reindeer looks like he’s jumping over a fence!
Night of Navy is a nice change of pace for Christmas, and I love how this all looks a little retro! Very cool!
I like how you’ve done the deer’s nose; this adds so much to the card. a great masculine card, for a birthday or Christmas card.
Love how this card came together Connie; the reindeer with his red nose is adorable and the multi-coloured sentiment looks fabulous against the white background.
#1 love the color combo, #2 love the reindeer, #3 love the red nose, #4 the washing strip are great!
Love it! Very festive!
