Are you ready for Christmas in July? I must admit, I’ve been watching the Hallmark movies, and their Christmas in July movies are getting me in the mood. Plus, this is the day that Stampin’ Up! demonstrators get to view the Holiday 2019 Catalog, so, time to bring out my favorite reindeer from 2018, wearing a new coat of burlap.

Burlap Reindeer

The reindeer is from the carry-over die set, Detailed Deer, and his burlap coat is from Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper, both available right now. You can click on the pictures in my Product List to order.

The deer’s background was made with trees from the Winter Woods Stamp Set, also a carry-over from 2018, and available now. I stamped the trees in VersaMark on Whisper White Cardstock, sprinkled them with Gold Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool. It’s not the easiest to photograph shine, but you can see it here.

I trimmed the background with a Stitched Rectangle Die (second to the largest), and adhered it to a Thick Whisper White card base, that was embossed with the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder. It kinda looks like snow, right?

The snowflakes were made with two dies from the Detailed Deer Die Set, cut from Sparkle Glimmer Paper. 

The sentiment, ” ’tis the season,” is from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set, stamped in Soft Suede Ink, and cut with a Merry Christmas label die.

An additional incentive for creating this Christmas card is the challenge at TGIF, “Christmas in July.”

Thanks for visiting! I hope Rudolph’s snowy scene can cool off those who are hot in the middle of summer.
