Every year I set up a card table in my craft room and pile it high with all my Christmas card related stampin' supplies - the hubster has affectionately dubbed this "Christmas Central". Having everything out in plain sight really gets me in the mood to make Christmas cards - of course the Christmas music playing in the background doesn't hurt either:)
I cracked open a Hero Arts background stamp called Stitched Greeting from 2011 that had never seen ink before! After brayering it with Hero Arts Ocean dye ink I stamped it on a piece of Stampin' Up Bermuda Bay cs - love the tone-on-tone look. After carefully masking the same stamp I inked it up with Stampin' Up Real Red ink and stamped the die cut banner with the stitched sentiment "Christmas". I loooooove this Memory Box Leaping Deer die and isn't the font of this Stampin' Up/Sizzix Expressions die fun?! Couldn't resist adding a little "Rudolph" nose:)
Other Supplies Used: Basic Grey True Love pp, Papertrey ink rustic white cs, WPlus 9 banner die, Stampin' Up Real Red cs, Queen & Co gems and pearl, JoAnn's sequin
Thanks for all your feedback!

I LOVE this, Robin! The reindeer, color combo & patterns make me happy!
Brilliant idea to gather everything together in one place to create your cards, Robin! I love this red and aqua beauty - what a wonderful creation!
What a beautiful card, Robin! Love your color choices - Love the 'pop" of Merry against your background :)
This is a darling card! I love the little touches, like the DSP strips on the edges and the Rudolph nose and sequins. Thanks for playing along with us at Dynamic Duos!
I love everything about your card! So cute! Thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos! :)
Oh what a fun & pretty card! Love your system, Robin!
This would have FAILED me as a color combo, but not you, Robin! You ACED the colors and make them SHINE! I admire how you use the images and colors! It's absolutely perfect in my view (down to the little pearl detail)!!
what a fun card, robin! love how you used the colors!
Such a fun and festive card all around! Love that reindeer die cut and the sparkly red nose is the perfect touch. Thanks so much for joining us this week at Dynamic Duos! :)
I've been itching to try this color combo, Robin - and you rocked it! Love what you did and the way you walked us through it.......I have several more TDay projects before I can even set up my Christmas Central (which we call Santa's Workhop, actually....the guest room is overtaken). Love all these elements and how you've used them.
Wowza ... you combined all of your elements perfectly ... they just draw your eye into the design ... fabulous card!
