Dashing Deer

A few months ago, I saw this card on Etsy for sale, and thought I could make a card similar to hers.  The stamp set is called Dashing Deer and the colors I used are Blueberry Bushel (new In-Color) and Gray Granite.  Here are the instructions for my card:


Stamp Set:  Dashing Deer

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Blueberry Bushel (In-Color)

Ink:  Blueberry Bushel, Gray Granite

Other:  Big Shot, Swirls and Curls TIEF, Detailed Deer Thinlits, Multipurpose Glue, Rhinestones



1.     The base of the card is Whisper White cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Blueberry Bushel cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Swirls & Curls TIEF.  Attach to the front of the card with Multipurpose Glue.

3.    Cut a Whisper White cardstock triangle about 3” x 4” and ink up “Happiest Christmas Wishes” at the bottom.  Attach to the card with Multipurpose Glue.

4.    Ink up the deer with Gray Granite ink onto Whisper White cardstock and die cut with the Detailed Deer Thinlets in the Big Shot.  Attach to the triangle and to the right of the card front as shown in the picture above.

5.    Die cut the flourish die with Whisper White cardstock in the Big Shot.  Attach a Rhinestone in the center of the flower.  Die cut a Blueberry Bushel flower in the Big Shot and attach a Rhinestone in the center.

Alpine Adventure

Just got this set "Alpine Adventure" yesterday and I already wanted to play with it and create a card that was similar to one I did in 2015 called Warm Wishes. 
Here are the instructions for my Alpine Adventure card:
1.     The base of the card is Early Espresso cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.
2.    The second layer is Soft Suede cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Pinewood Planks Dynamic TIEF and run through the Big Shot.
3.    The next layer is Crumb Cake cut at 1-3/4” x 4-1/4” and inserted into the Corrugated Dynamic TIEF and run through the Big Shot.  May need to trim to fit four inches across the card.  Attach to the front of the card with Tear and Tape. Take a Galvanized Button with 3/16” Braid Linen Trim inserted into the holes and frayed. Attach to the left side of the card with Glue Dots on the corrugated cardstock.
4.    Die cut the sled from the Country Lane DSP using the Alpine Sports Thinlets Die in the Big Shot.  Attach to 2” x 4-1/4” Very Vanilla Cardstock and then layered onto a 2-1/4” x 4-1/2” Early Espresso cardstock.  Attach with Dimensionals to the right side of the card.
5.    Ink up the sentiment “Let it Snow” with Early Espresso ink and stamp onto Crumb Cake cardstock.  Die cut it out using the Alpine Sports Thinlets Die and attach to the sled with a Dimensional.

Christmas Traditions


This is another Christmas Traditions card that I made also using the new Winter Woods and the Buffalo Check background stamps which are all in the 2018 Holiday Catalog.  The base of my card is Crumb Cake and I used Old Olive and Early Espresso to make the Buffalo Check layer, but I used the Stamparatus a couple of times to get it inked well. I tore the Crumb Cake cardstock after stamping the trees with Early Espresso and sponged the edges.  For the punch, I punched two from the Old Olive cardstock and one in Crumb Cake and attached to the front with Linen Thread.
