Ashley’s Fun Rudolph Themed Card

- Nancy Krueger 6 Comments

Our Guest Designer, Ashley is back with us today to share an amazing card based on the old 1960s animated movie Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer! She totally captured the fun and quirky characters using Lawn Fawn sets!

To set the scene, Ashley used Stitched Mountain Borders and Simple Stitched Hillside Borders. The scenery picks up the pastel colors in the challenge inspiration! Rudolph is played by our Cheery Christmas deer and his elf friend, Hermey is one of our Holiday Helpers! The gifts and toys are from these sets as well. The trees are from the Snow Day set and the sweet greeting is found in Making Frosty Friends (which is the theme of this vintage holiday animated classic!)

The lion, King Moonracer and the misfit polka dotted toy elephant are from the Wild for You set!

The Gnome plays the role of Yukon Cornelius, an arctic prospector who protects Rudolph and his elf friend Hermey from Bumble the abominable snowman, played by our cute Yeti!

Thank you so much, Ashley for sharing this super clever and fun card design, it’s amazing! We are so happy to have you join us as Guest Designer for this Wonderful Winter challenge!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to our friends and fellow Fawnatics!

We are excited to have another talented Guest Designer join us for this challenge! Please welcome Ashley Dearie, you know her as 509inspired on Instagram! She has been one of our Featured Fawnatics more than once for making wonderfully clever cards based around fun themes! Thank you for joining us today, Ashley, we are so happy to have you!!

Ashley was inspired by the color palette and the lovely wintry image to to send warm wishes from this cute crew in the arctic! She used lots of fun sets including Sealed with a Kiss, Critters in the Arctic, Critters in the Snow and Beary Happy Holidays! She combined bits of the costumed kids from Easter Party with the donut from Donut Worry to look like this arctic-dwelling cutie is bundled up for the cold!

Ashley used just the lake die cut from the Dad+Me coordinating die set to cut out the water shape and filled it with inked Ocean Wave Borders! So clever!

Let’s see how our amazing Design Team was inspired for this challenge!

Samantha M took snow angels to a new level of fun with these colorful and cute Yeti Set Go critters! This card is just so clever and so perfect for the Wonderful Winter theme!

One of the Yeti cuties is on an Action Wobbler to add even more fun with an interactive element!

Karin‘s Beary Happy Holidays polar bear family has done some successful ice fishing and are sending a sweet greeting to their friends! This frosty scene is so full of charm and warmth!

Jessica‘s beautiful pastel paradise uses all the colors of the challenge palette! Her skating bear is found in Beary Happy Holidays along with the pretty greeting. The Forest Border provides a snowy tree line in the background! I love how Jessica added the heart from Stitched Trails, this skating bear has some talent!

I just love the sweetness of Christy‘s cute card that combines Thanks a Latte and Oh Snap! The Zig Zag Rectangle panel and the Gotta Have Gingham background give her card a fun homespun look!

Joyce created a fun Wonderful Winter Village Shops scene with cute little Coaster Critters enjoying the small town charm! She used Stitched Hillside Backdrop: Landscape to create her fun scene!

Samantha C borrowed scene builder stamps from Critters in the Arctic and Critters in the Snow to create a frosty winter playground for the happy frogs from Toadally Awesome! I love how she used Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Backdrop to look like a snowy sky!

Franci‘s Say What? Gift Tags are so fun and magical! I love how she filled the shaker windows with Chunky Glitter for lots of sparkle and shine!

Jenn combined some favorite oldies with new favorites to create an adorable friendship card! Making Frosty Friends snow-people with a custom sentiment made with Quinn’s ABCs work nicely with the new Snowfall Backdrop and a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame!
