Meet Sweety from the Sweet Stockings Designer Paper. She’s been waiting patiently, NOT, for her appearance on a card. You may think she’s unhappy, but, trust me, she is extremely happy. She couldn’t wait to be cut free from the paper, and become the solo focal point. She’s very proud of her reindeer headpiece.
Sweety
After cutting Sweety, it didn’t take long to complete her card. The card base is Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. I layered it with Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, which I embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.
Next I cut three strips of paper, two from Sweet Stockings Designer Paper, and one Basic White. The green stripe is 1/2″ X 5 1/4″, the red is 3 3/4″ X 1/2″, and the white is 3 1/2″ X 1/2″.
I stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the white strip, and glued it to the card front. “Just want to say” is from the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set, and the inside says, “Merry Christmas.” The red strip was glued next, followed by the green strip on top.
Sweety chose her spot in the corner, and asked to be lifted on Dimensionals, which I thought was a good idea.
Here’s a photo of the twelve designs in the pack. Isn’t it cute?
We completed the card by adding a few Decorative Matte Dots. Then, Sweety thought I should decorate the envelope, and I agreed. It was easy to cut a 5 3/4″ X 2 3/8″ piece of designer paper, glue it to the envelope flap, and trim the excess, using the flap as a template. You can see the envelope in the first photo.

A kitty reindeer? Yes, please! This is so adorable. I love the colorful DSP and that textured background is fabulous. What a creative take on a Christmas card! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Oh my this is adorable! You are wonderful at fussy cutting! Beautifully done!
Thank you, Linda! I like to fussy cut, but have to say, this was Scan n’ Cut. I still find it difficult to use, and had several fails before the one you see.
This card is adorable! I do think the red and green strips of paper looks different though from what’s showing in the package.
I’m new to your blog and think it’s wonderful that you list all the supplies and the dimensions of everything. Thank You!
Thank you, Gail! It’s probably the lighting that makes it look different.
Sooo Cute!!!! You are so creative.
Thank you, Michelle! That’s such a nice compliment!
