Holiday Rudolph Bucket

Hi Crafty Friends, Debbie here with the super fun Christmas Bucket Additions Dies from the Holiday Release! I love how Pretty Pink Posh Stamp keeps bringing out additional dies to so many of the original products. We all fell in love with the Candy Bucket Dies from a previous release. So could there be anything cuter then having a Rudolph Bucket!?

To start my project off, I made the reindeer shaker with the Christmas Bucket Additions Dies and Candy Bucket Dies, die cutting out the frame with a medium brown card stock five to seven times. Next, I started to assemble the shaker by adhering the frames together with a piece of acetate in between the top two frames. Then I filled the well up with the Gingerbread Shaker Beads and attached the backing from Alabaster card stock. For his face I used googly eyes and a red Pom-Pom rather then the die cut pieces. On the inner portion of the ears, I went through my stash and found the leaf from Spring Foliage die set that fit perfectly.

I used the gift box dies from the Christmas Bucket Additions to fill up the bucket. I die cut out twice the striped gift box from two different colors and cut the stripes apart from one and glue to the other. And with one of polka dot gift box, I used the star sprinkles and adhered over the polka dots. 

With the Christmas Cake Pops dies, I made the adorable reindeer cake pop and the drippy chocolate cake pop. I initially made the three cake pops, but there wasn’t enough room for the Santa hat. So I decided to stick it on top of the drippy chocolate cake pop, adding a white Pom-pom and Stardust Stickle on the trim. 

With the Argyle Pierced Plate, I ran it through with a standard A2 Alasbaster panel. Then I trimmed it down by 1/8 inch on all sides to mat it on the same red card stock used. 

With the Christmas Banner Greetings stamp set, I stamped out in red ink the “Joyful Holiday Wishes” from the set. With the Banner Greetings 1 Dies, I die cut it out and tucked it behind the reindeer’s ear. 

The last thing I did was add Ivory Pearls to the other polka dot box and add white highlights and glossy accents to the nose. 

This is a different color combination for my holiday cards. What do you think? Do you have a favorite color combination for your Christmas cards?

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!
