    NCC Merry Rudolph cu 07602
    The Sketch Challenge (SC562) on Splitcoast seemed perfect for this little reindeer. I put him in my Misti, stamped w/ Memento, colored him w/ Copics then over stamped w/ Versafine. I masked his antlers & stamped the ornament & branch above him the same way I did Rudolph.

    In order to die cut the image, I had to do a little out of the box to keep from cutting off the ornament. I added a black/white Christmas print behind him & also behind the 2 background panels. The greeting was originally on two lines so I used a stamp positioner to move it all onto 1 line to fit the sketch. The white bg was embossed w/ a Christmas knit folder that I edged w/ a black marker before I embossed it.

    Here’s a look at the inside using some dp scraps & below it are the Copics I used.

    The Free for All Challenge (F4A294) today is to use at least 2 shades of purple. Purple is one of my favorite colors to use for Halloween.

    For my spooky card, I started with an embossing folder I just bought & couldn’t wait to give it a test drive. Don’t know if you’ve noticed, but these ef’s made by Sizzix just seem to emboss way deeper than a lot of other brands. So I had a piece of lavender card stock & I inked up the embossing folder w/ some dark purple pigment ink, put my c/s in & embossed it. Then I took it out, sprinkled it with some sparkly dark purple embossing powder & heat embossed it (aka embossed embossing). Wish you could see it..it is really sparkly!

     

    The potions were stamped, colored with Copics & I fussy cut around the tops before adding a bright orange strip behind them. The ghost & moon were fussy cut & the greeting was split in two…the first line was fussy cut & added below the the potions & the second line was die cut & added higher up. 
    Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used. The embossed spider down the left is one of the border folders that came w/ the one I used on the front.

    Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs October Release! We have some gorgeous Christmas images, dies & paper for you this month!



    For my first card, I gold embossed the two background ornaments & die cut w/ the matching dies. The left ornament also has a gold embossed Flourished Alphabet letter J.  The top ornament was die cut w/ the other topper die out of the same paper as the main layer. I used the largest Matting Circle die to cut the center & since the snowflake paper only has the flakes around the border, I arranged the circle opening near one corner so it would look like the flakes are circling the bottom. I used more of the snowflake paper for the gold embossed greeting & Leafy Edged Border topper. A Candi dot was added on top of the center ornament & coated w/ gold stickles & I also added some Wink of Stella on the metallic gold c/s behind the top ornament.Here’s a look at the inside.

    My second card will have you singing Christmas Tunes!  I’ve been humming them ever since I started this card. I just love a cream & gold Christmas card with lots of gold embossing, so that’s what I’ve done here.

    After gold embossing the Christmas Tune, it was die cut w/ the matching Vintage Label die & the brushed gold metallic backing layer was die cut using a die from the Vintage Flourish Pattern die set. The largest gold layer was die cut with the Flourished Star Pattern largest die. The top background was a little trickier since it’s 3 layers & the top 2 are divided in 3. I first cut the cream layer, divided it but pushed the layers together to gold emboss the different Snowflakes on top & cut the bottom using the Leafy Edged Border die. I attached 3 gold layers behind them & carefully lined up the bottom & cut again. The largest faintly patterned dp  layer was cut to match the bottom curve.

    I used a different Leafy Edge Border to cut the cream colored border running under the greeting then stacked the gold embossed Snowflakes in the lower right. The top 2 snowflakes were fussy cut & each flake is elevated just a little from the one underneath. So it has a bit of dimension but is still, definitely mailable.

    Here’s a look at the inside with more stamping & some leftover pieces from the front die cuts.
