I’m having a great time using the new, Framed Florets Dies in my designs, and for today’s card, I combined an oval with the Regal Reindeer Bundle. I intended for the oval to be the focal point, but the Reindeer said he was. I’ll let you decide.
First, I used a Blending Brush to apply Mint Macaron Ink to Basic White Cardstock. Second, I stamped the trees in Mint Macaron Ink on the brushed color, and used a Framed Florets Die for cutting. Third, I used the same oval to cut Mint Macaron Cardstock, and glued the frame portion to the trees. The trees are from the Regal Reindeer Stamp Set.
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 14″, embossed on the top half with a Wintry Embossing Folder. This layer was glued to a Mint Macaron card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
After gluing the trees in place, I cut the “snow” from Thick Basic White Cardstock, using a Regal Reindeer Die, and glued it along the bottom of the layer.
The sentiment and marks in the snow are from the Regal Reindeer Stamp Set. “Peace on Earth” was stamped in Cajun Craze Ink, and the marks in Soft Suede Ink.
Now, for the reindeer, who was cut with a Reindeer Die from Soft Suede Cardstock. He said, since he was the focal point, he wanted to wear a Cajun Craze scarf, knowing there was a perfect little die in his Reindeer Die Set.
I attached his body and head with Dimensionals, glued his hoofs and legs, and left his antlers free. He was pretty proud of his card, and couldn’t wait for me to share it on TGIF!
I was inspired by TGIF.
