Christmas with Soul x 4
I had some fun creating some more Christmas cards today! Yes, that’s right…I haven’t mailed my cards yet! LOL! I decided to use this darling Holiday Whimsical set by Rubber Soul. All of these cards use essentially the same supplies, so it made for some quick and easy cardmaking. I also really wanted to use my Christmas patterned paper from SU! that I purchased a couple months ago.
Wintergreen Tree
I love the fresh, cool colors from this Wintergreen paper. I paired it with this funky little tree that was colored with my SU! markers, and accented with Stickles. It was cut and embossed with my Spellbinders rectangle die, and a bit of shadow was added with my Copic marker. Since I didn’t have brads small enough, I used platinum Stickles in each corner for a “faux brad” look.
Using the same patterned paper pack, and basic layout, I created this card using the penguin:
Snowy Penguin
His hat is popped up on a dimensional, and accented with liquid applique. Card base is Memory Box.
Next up is Rudolph, paired with SU! Dashing patterned paper, and a Memory Box Dill notecard.
Rudolph & Dots
I thought these dots looked cute with Rudolph’s shiny red nose! Several different Stickles were used: gold, Christmas red, cinnamon, and star dust.
And last, but not least, another card using the Wintergreen paper, paired with the Rubber Soul Joy to the World set, and a Spellbinders 3-layer snowflake in vellum:
Snowflake Joy
I used blue bayou with this design, as well as some accents with Liquid Pearls. The scalloped and basic circle panels were cut with my Spellbinders Nestability dies, and sponged with blue bayou.
I hope you enjoyed today’s 4 designs, and I thank you so much for visiting today!
Those are all DARLING T!!! OMG that reindeer is soooo fun!! lol. I love them all! Awesome cards!

Those are great, Trudee! A Blessed and Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones! Wish I could be in Asheville so that I could be near my family!
Trudee,
Very nice cards. I like all of them. Love, Mom.xxxxx.
I love every one of them! Don’t feel too bad…I haven’t mailed my Christmas cards either! LOL!
Merry Christmas to you!
All fantastic!! Love the sparkly antlers especially!
They are all cute but I will have to say the snowflake on is my favorite, just loved what you did with the liquid pearls!
These are all just fabulous !! And thanks for sharing the info below in the photo set up. One of the most frustrating things about blogging is getting a picture of the creation you spent all day working on ! Thanks !!
Fun & easy cards. I wondered what that snowflake die looked like - cool!
Love that beautiful snowflake in vellum, T — beautiful card! Great photo of the puppies, too — very cute!
Yeah, another soul like me. I’m still working on getting my cards out too. In fact yesterday I realized I had forgotten to take the print of all the grandkids to Wal-Mart so I could send a picture to all the relitives. duh… Anyway love your cards and good luck on getting them out into the mail. Hope your Christmas was grand and a lot of fun.
