Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I have another Christmas card to share today.
I'm so glad my Christmas stash is growing!
I found this guy hanging out in my Christmas UFO box.
He was cut from corrugated cardboard but I chose the smooth side to show.
The corrugation pops him up a bit.
The background was stamped with a Christmas background stamp,
splattered with red ink and die cut with a Deckled Edge die.
I sponged around the edges of the die cut and a bit on the deer too.
I love the kraft, red and white color combination and
my dear friend Loll chose this as the challenge at
I love this color combo so much that I did another.
How's your Christmas stash coming along?
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Love the CAS Challenge cards made with kraft, red and white...such a welcome change from red and green. This deer looks very dignified as he prances along. I admire you for keeping your Christmas stash going.
ReplyDeleteThese are both so pretty Bonnie and I love that color combination too...once you get going and the ideas start flowing it's hard to stop! Glad your stash is growing...mine too! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteI love this color combination and your cards are just great. You are building your Christmas card stash so early and that is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis really is such a lovely colour combo, Bonnie and the deer looks fabulous against your subtle background.
ReplyDeletethese are wonderful Bonnie! Your deer and the background is so soft and subtle but adds so much interest to your card! And I love the cabin in the snow and especially your background embossed pine boughs! Heart Hugs, Col
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous twofer, Bon! I love that awesome textured stag design and the comfy winter scene is gorgeous! Love, Dolly
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the majestic stag and the embossed BG on your second card really makes the scene pop!

Two fantastic cards Bonnie using this great kraft, red and white combination. I love the large deer with the stamped background and then some embossed snowflakes behind that and love the red wool tied like a scarf around his neck, and the sweet snowy cabin in that coordinating light brown ink, and love the pine branches embossed on the background and the kraft and red layered on to white card which finishes it perfectly. x
ReplyDeleteFab cards Bonnie - I too am loving the colour combo and am making my stash swell a bit! x
ReplyDeleteI love all the different layers. I must tell you Bonnie, it is hard to get my mind around Christmas right now.

Love the subtle Christmas text background behind the reindeer on the first card. Great idea to use the corrugation to give some dimension. Two fabulous cards, Bonnie. Thanks for making them for CAS Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI am loving all the kraft, red and white cards this month. these are excellent examples xx
ReplyDeleteThat reindeer is quite regal. I love that you turned him around. Great subtle background layering making him the king of the show. That log cabin is inviting, beautiful natural tones for both beautiful cards. My Xmas stash hardly has a dent it it LOL xxx
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are terrific, Bonnie. I sure do like the way you design and even your card bases have so much interest. Love the deer die cut and beautiful job on the cabin. The there again is the Kars folder I so covet.
ReplyDeletelove both cards Bonnie, such great inspiration I might just have to CASE them ♥
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Bonnie, and I agree that the color combo is just fabulous. As for my Christmas stash? Well I'd just be happy to get back into my craft room... Now that we are finished (at least for now) helping Daughter #3 work on her house, Hubbs has decided it's time to do some more projects on ours...
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome fellow your stag is! Brilliant to cut from corrugated cardboard. I'll have to try that! I also love your cozy winter cottage. Two more for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. Fabulous use of the colours. As I’ve said before, your UFO box is amazing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful CAS Christmas cards with the challenge colors, Bonnie! The reindeer looks handsome with the red scarf, and the cabin is so sweet. Love the wonderful design with the dry embossed background!

That's a nice big stag you got there Bonnie and to think he was hanging out inn your UFO box! He is definitely perfect for the challenge, love how you have decided to show him off on this card. That deckled edge mat is so cool looking and of course I am loving the snowy embossed background. You second card is beautiful as well, love that scene. Who wouldn't want to be snuggled up in a cabin in a snow storm with a nice crackling fire going?! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards using kraft, red and white, Bonnie. Your reindeer is beautiful and well named. He definitely looks like he's prancing! I think he's feeling very special with his red scarf! Love the background behind him with subtle word stamping, torn edges and shading. Love the peek of red that shows around the edges. And of course, love that snowy background made from the amazing falling snow embossing folder! :)
ReplyDeleteYour second card is such a peaceful scene with the log cabin sitting in the snowy meadow. I would like to stay there for a day, with a warm fire, hot coholate and some soothing music. Ahhhhh! xx
Wonderfully done cards mf....I have not started with Christmas yet...ugh.

Two beautiful designs with the challenge colors Bonnie - LOVE your stately deer with his perfect stance and lovely knotted scarf And your little hillside cottage is so pretty with the embossed background! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pair of cards! I too love this color combo and the deer looks so elegant with his red scarf on the first! I love the pretty embossing that sets off the cottage just perfectly in the 2nd! Gorgeous cards!
ReplyDeleteThat deer is so studly, Bonnie, and I love all the layers on both of your cards.
