Today I'm trying to make a batch of Christmas cards. Usually I make a different card for everyone but have never quite managed to make all of my own Christmas cards and always end up (shock, horror!) buying some. So this year I'm going to try make a few cards of each design I come up with. There's no guarantee I still won't end up buying cards at the last minute but hopefully this will help.
So now onto the first card. I have to say I'm totally in love with the adorable reindeer in Hero Arts Christmas Reindeer set - every time I see their cute little faces I have to smile! This card started off as an attempt at a CAS card but I never seem to be able to restrain myself from adding bits and pieces!

The second card has the other reindeer from the Christmas Reindeer set. This guy looks like a fun character so I had to put him in the middle of a snowball fight.

I wouldn't have been able to make this last card without my very good friend Linda, who send me a big batch of something I've been trying to get here for years - glossy paper that somehow actually lets alcohol inks and the blending solution do their magic - thanks again so much, Linda:) Making this card even brought the smell of Christmas into the house. I've haven't used StazOn in a long time but as soon as I opened up the pad, it reminded me of the almond paste my mum makes for Christmas cakes - yummy!

Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you are having a fantastic World Card Making Day:)

Your reindeer cards are so cute Heather, love the one with the snowballs...a very fun idea!
Heather, it is always such a treat visiting your blog! Love all three fabulous cards! The one with the snowball fighting reindeer is a riot! So creative, as always! Happy WCMD to you! :)
Heather, your cards are always one-of-a-kind, I probably have most of them pinned by now! Love these 2 reindeer cards, especially the one dodging the snowballs - you made me smile BIG! Also love the idea of all of us crafting together today, doing something that we all share a love of - almost, but not quite, as good as actually being together!
all of these are awesome Heather. I really love the one with alcohol inks. And you little reindeer are very cute.
Happy WCMD, my friend! You have been a busy bee - three cards, wow! I was glad to get one done - LOL! And you are soooo right, it's such fun to make cards together on this special day despite being so far apart in distance! Especially love the reindeer snowball fight - so clever! But I love the alcohol ink background for your nativity - what gorgeous blues!! Glad the glossy paper is getting some good use - you know where mine is (in the package, right?). Hugs!
Beautiful cards Heather! Love the reindeers, so adorable!
Heather, I adore all three cards! From fun to funny to classic, all three cards are perfect Christmas cards! Happy WCMD!
Great catds, Heather! I especially love the one with the snowballs. Hope you got a good start to the Christmas cards!
Your cards are always such a true delight! So creative and they always have a bit of a surprise. I love them all, but that naughty reindeer has my heart. Thanks for all you do to keep us so inspired.
