Another day in the 30 Days of Holiday Cards at Beccy's Place and today we use "R." The letter "R" is pretty easy since there are at least a dozen different things starting with the letter "R" that can be used on holiday cards but I settled for Rubber Stamp (House Mouse), Red, and Rocker card. The tutorial at Beccy's Place for Rocker cards can be found by clicking on the A - Z Folds at the top of the blog and it's the simplest, quickest Rocker card of any tutorials I've seen for them. Check it out - it's a simple matter of cutting the bottom (of whatever card you're making) into a curved shape.
I decided on an A2 card (4.25 x 5.5 inches), laid on a horizontal "landscape", and used a paper plate (any plate or bowl would work; I just happened to have a stack of paper plates near the craft desk and grabbed one) to draw around the bottom edge of the card, then I cut it with scissors. Poof, quick and easy, By the way, although I did mine as a landscape version of an A2 card, you can cut a curve on the bottom of a vertical A2 and it will rock also.
I stamped the image and colored it with a combination of watercolors and Ohuhu markers. Once colored, I cut it with a QuicKutz die, then cut the corners with a Uchida corner punch. I added the sentiment, cut with an Avery Elle die, to the bottom of the image piece. I chose a red card base, and I've already explained how I made the rocker bottom. I layered on the image piece and it was finished!
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

Love the red, white and blue colour scheme NanaConnie, it's been popular for Christmas cards this year. The image you used is adorable! Well done on creating the rocker base too.
Cheers,

A delightful card, love the rocker shape too. x
What a cute rocker card! Your coloring is wonderful. Thanks for sharing at HMFMC. xx
I always say "This is one of my favorite HM images" and it IS. Okay, so there are so many favorites I have. I absolutely love that you lit the candles because I see so many that have a candle and no one puts the fire to the paper.

I had to come back and ask hasn't it been fun to play at Beccy's Place? I don't think I've been able to play in the past 2 years and I started late but I am having fun. Thanks for using our House Mouse mice at Beccy's Place. They do love to travel to other fun places.
The bright red card really sets off the bright fun scene of the House Mouse enjoying the holidays. Love how you colored up the flames from the candles. Thanks for sharing your card with us at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.
