Reindeer Card

This is a beautiful card that I cased from Chlo's Craft Closet HERE. It was such a beautiful card that she made, I wanted to recreate it for myself. Her instructions were very easy to follow on her video but it did take a long time to make so I probably won't be sending them out for Christmas cards. This picture doesn't do this card justice. I will probably just have it on display for the holidays. It involves a lot of sponging to create the night scene. The reindeer are stamped on Kraft card stock with Early Espresso ink. The stamp is from Santa's Sleigh as well as the Thinlets that go with the bundle. The reindeer each have bells around their necks from the Holiday Catalog. They are Mini Jingle Bells and come in silver and red. Rudolph has a red nose made with Red Glimmer Paper and the 1/16" Handheld punch. Santa's sleigh is made from Gold Glimmer Paper and Gold Foil. It is absolutely gorgeous! I also used the trees from the retired Thoughtful Branches.

Sweater Card

It is not quite sweater time in Indiana because this week the temperature's are going to be in the 80 or 90's. It is the last day of summer, so I guess we still have a few hot summer days left. Sue Parker gave instructions on how to make these sweater cards on Pinterest, so I wanted to make one too since I purchased the Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It is thicker than the other TIEF's, so it is best to spray mist your cardstock with water before embossing so it doesn't tear. Because it is thicker than the embossing folders, when you run it through the Big Shot, you need the Big Shot Platform, a single sheet of cardstock in embossing folder and just a top Standard Cutting Pad. For the trim, I cut strips at 1/2" wide and then used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score on every groove. I attached the trim with Foam Adhesive Strips. The buttons I used were Stampin' Up! retired Night of Navy to match my Night of Navy sweater which I attached with Glue Dots.
