Day 13 - Humorous

(Beccy's post asking us to create a project that will bring a

smile and her fun Christmouse card to inspire are HERE)

My "Humorous" project is Santa's reindeers in the dark.

With my mind swirling with card ideas and Christmas craft activities for kids, I remembered a card I made a few years ago (it's linked at the end of this post).

It brought a lots of smiles smiles at the time, so I thought this could be a "two-fer" for me this year.  I have made two of these cards to send out.  The added bonus is that it's a perfect project for little hands too.  I have a sheet of self adhesive googly eyes, some red rhinestones and black cardstock ready for little hands to have a giggle while making some of these cards as a Christmas craft activity.

Funny, fast, easy and no mess, so this one ticks all the right boxes.

   

These cards give me an extra smile because they remind me of some holidays we took many years ago ... we bought some super special "at night" postcards and took great pleasure in posting them to family and friends ... they had a completely black front and had to be turned over to "read" all about where we were holidaying as there weren't any special landmarks to see on the front, needless to say, it frustrated everyone he he he :)

Let's end the day with a little sing-a-long about Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

There WILL be a test at the end to find out if you know all the reindeer names...

*** INGREDIENTS ***

self adhesive googly eyes - I used 6mm

black cardstock

red adhesive gems / bling / rhinestones

(I confess, I have used all my red rhinestones, so I used a red alcohol marker

to transform some pink and mauve gems into rich red Rudolph noses)

pre-scored 5" x 7" card bases

Here is my card from years ago that inspired my cards today.
