I have two Christmas cards to show you today.
First up....
....for Christmas Kickstart, Starry, Starry Night.
A dear, sweet friend sent me this fun star die for my birthday.
I cut it from some really schparkly glitter paper that was in my stash and
popped some of the cut out stars in the openings.
I popped it on a piece of sparkle paper. I fear it's the last of that.
Maybe I'll find some more someday.
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on vellum.
Next up....
...for the Jingle Belles Challenge, an inspiration photo (see below).
I zeroed in on the reindeer and all the hanging colors.
Vixen was colored with Twimarkers because they have a tiny point that
works great for tight areas.
Also joining in with Rudolph Days where we can link our Christmas cards from
the 25th to the end of the month with my friend Maureen (Scrappy Mo)

love your fun banner sentiment and your colorful reindeer ... so glad you were inspired by our color Christmas at Jingle Belles.
Two fabulous cards, Bonnie! I love all the glittery stars on card one but the showstopper is that beautiful reindeer - great coloring!! Love the hanging MERRY too
Hello friend!
Loving both of these beautiful card. The first is so sparkly! Perfect amount of sparkle and the vellum heat embossed sentiment is perfect here.
The second one is wonderful. It has a quirky folk art feel and that banner is superb!!!
Thanks for taking part in the July Rudolph Days Challenge.
Beautiful work Bonnie - Love that starry die cut and how you have used it so spectacularly on this stunning card. The colours on your second card make such a wonderful cheerful card
Stay safe
Blessings

But a feast for my eyes :-) Two amazing cards, Bonnie. I love how you put together the colors in the first tab. Old gold glitter goes perfectly with the craft base. The sentiment on the vellum does not burden the card, the stars shine beautifully through the velin. I love all that glow. And I love the second card for these fabulous colors. It is as joyful as Christmas.
hugs,

Twinkling stars, and Reindeer? What a way to start my very hot July day - both amazing, Bonnie!

Beautiful, elegant stars and a fun, whimsical take on the second card. Cute dangling letters to wish a Merry Christmas. Even the star ornaments are dangling!
I love those sparkly stars and large sentiment on the vellum Bonnie, and a wonderful die to receive as a gift and beautifully used by you, and love your take on the inspiration photo with your prettily coloured reindeer and the hanging letters look great. x
These are so lovley and sparkly and beautiful Bonnie.

The first card is so sparkly and pretty and with a fabulous die cut x. A fun second one Bonnie and what a wonderful stag/vixen image and doesn't he look so proud ? x.
Two gorgeous cards, Bonnie! Always love my visits to your blog. Thanks for playing again at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
Two wonderful designs for the challenges Bonnie! Love the array of glitter gold stars with the sentiment strip of vellum so you don't cover up all the glory! and your reindeer is so detailed and colorful with his marvelous swirl of antlers! So fun with the hanging letters! xx
Two beautiful Christmas cards, Bonnie. Love all glittery die cut stars on your 1st card and your beautiful colorful reindeer image and hanging letters on your 2nd card. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
Hi Bonnie,
Happy Rudolf Days.
2 such wonderful cards and their designs are so fabulous and wonderfully created.
Beautiful colouring of the second.
Thank you for joining the Rudolf Challenge.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L. DT
Fabulous twofers. The sparkle in the first is just gorgeous. Your second nailed the inspiration photo brilliantly.
These are two fabulous cards, Bonnie! Love the stars in the glitter paper and love the way you dropped the sentiment on the second card. These are both real show stoppers!
Wow from very sparkly to very colourful, two fabulous cards! I especially like the wood grain on the second one. One more tip if you try a slider card - make sure you use at least 1/8” foam tape between layers to allow for movement. Have fun! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely Christmas creation with us at the Rudolph Days Challenge.
Linda, DT
Two pretty Christmas cards, one full of sparkle and the other glorious in all its colors!
Two great cards Bonnie, I must say your little Rudolf card really caught my eye with those rainbow colours :)
Two fantastic cards Bonnie, I love the antlers on Rudilph and the glittery stars on the top card.

I sum up these 2 cards as "the glitz and the glamour". Like how you used the sparkle paper with the starry die...meant for each other. And that adorable reindeer is super dolled up for the holidays. Fun and unique looks...your creativity sure shows, as always!
You are definitely a star when it comes to card making. You seem to have endless ideas and techniques!

such beautiful card, love the reindeer and brick details, not to mention the banner; great take on the photo inspiration! so pleased you could join our JINGLE BELLES fun! ♥
Two beautiful cards Bonnie. Love those gorgeous glitter stars. What a fantastic die. The vellum banner is perfect so the stars show through.
And that reindeer ... so fancy with all the decorations! Love the colourful, hanging letters. xx
Those glittery stars are fantastic! I might be hoarding my really chunky glitter paper that I love so much. I'm completely smitten with your Vixen card because of the cute stamp and all the color. The hanging letters are so much fun!
What a festive and fun star die-cut, Bonnie! The shine from the glitter paper is so pretty! The brushed gold card base makes the card look classy.
The reindeer card is a wonderful interpretation of the challenge photo! I love the pretty colorful hanging MERRY! The image is colored beautifully and full of happy feelings.

Both beauties!
