It's time for the first Rudolph Day of the year. For the past few years I've had a theme for me RD cards. In 2017 I used images from a Lili of the Valley Art Pad, in 2018 my cards were 4" x 4", in 2019 all cards had a Christmas tree on them, in 2020 I used wet and/or dry embossing on my cards, in 2021 I used something that had been upcycled, in 2022 I used something that had been a cover gift with a magazine, in 2023 all my cards were cross stitch designs and last year they were all white, green and gold. This year my theme will be die cutting and I will have used at least one die on the cards.
I've used this 'Opulent Baubles' embossing folder many times, but as the small die had fallen out of it I decided to cut a different bauble for this card.
To make this card I used:
C6 white matt card blank
Marianne Design Creatables 'Christmas Bauble' and Memory Box 'Crisp Bows' dies
Practical Publishing 'Opulent Baubles' embossing folder
Snippets of white matt card red glitter card and gold mirri
I placed the bauble die inside the embossing folder and embossed a piece of white card, this also cut the bauble shape. The panel was trimmed and attached to the card blank. I die cut the bauble from red glitter card and inlaid it into the front of the card. The bauble was cut again with gold mirri and the small pieces inlaid into the card. I die cut the bow from gold mirri and trimmed the bottom so it left just the bow section, this was then attached to the top of the bauble.

What a pretty embossing folder, and I love that single bauble. Your cards are always CAS perfection! Thanks for playing along with Julia and me at Christmas Kickstart Challenge, Jo x
This is a very pretty white dry embossed background incorporating the bauble too and it looks beautiful in gold and red Kath. x
