Holiday Critter Chaos

Bugaboo’s annual week of Christmas Challenges is here! I had fun creating several cards.  The first, features an adorable free digi from artist/author Elizabeth Dulemba named Rudolph. Am entering this card into several challenges including the Outlaws Sunday Challenge, Sleigh Bells (because Rudolph will soon be prancing… and I’m pretty sure that he likes bells!)
 
Supplies: 
·    Rudolph Digi -Elizabeth Dulemba (Coloring Page Tuesday- Rudolph)   
·    Inside  sentiment- TLC Creations (Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas)
·    Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen
·    Noel Sticker Label , Merry Christmas strip, and background papers- From my stash
·    Snowflake Diecuts- Lawn Fawn Die set

My second card  features a sweet Bugaboo elf digi, and a whimsical sentiment from We Are 3. I had fun using some ornament stickers that I’ve had in my stash since 2007, when I picked them up, at an after Christmas sale at Oriental Trading Company for pennies. So fun!

My last item isn’t a card, but a gift bag. I used a vintage Denami wood mount stamp, gold pigment ink and gold EP to create the wonderful image on a white catalogue envelope, stenciled stripes, then created a gift bag with the envelope using instructions found HERE. This  gift bag fits into the Day 4 challenge at Bugaboo Stamps Holiday Chaos- TicTacToe (diagonal from bottom left- Tree, Free and Ribbon.)
