I love paper that has a variety of individual images with a “white space” around them. They are perfect for fussy cutting. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of fussy cutting but it does have its place. It is a great skill to master as it allows you to create a ton of die cuts from one piece of paper. Luckily here the matching Reindeer Fun dies will cut out some of the images in the Reindeer Days paper. As you can see here, I’ve used paper to create this card.

Isn’t this deer the cutest? I love how it’s popping out of the green frame to say Merry Christmas. The only stamping on this card is for the sentiments, otherwise it is all die cuts. This card was made using only the dies from the Reindeer Fun set. The dies match the stamp set but there are also some stand-alone dies that I’ve used to create this card.

Measurements

  • Real Red Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm.
  • Garden Green Cardstock – 9.5cm X 14.35cm. You can it shorter once you’ve die-cut your image.

I love this design from the Reindeer Days designer series paper (DSP). It is gorgeous. This a straightforward and effective fancy-fold Christmas card. I love the combination of colours. Do you agree? I think the birds are Red Cardinals but I’m not sure. Do you know? In the UK our main Christmas bird is a robbin and these birds are not robbins.

measurements

  • Real Red Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half. Cut 3cm off the front edge.
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Reindeer Days DSP:
    • 14.35cm X 7cm
    • 10.5cm X 6.5cm
  • Real Red Cardstock – 11cm X 10cm, scored at 3cm on the 10cm side.

I am a big fan of big, bold sentiments. The More Wishes stamp set is one of my favourites and will never leave my stash. I’ve used it so many times. The font and size are great. I’ve stamped it here alternatively in Shaded Spruce and Real Red, creating this dramatic card.

Reindeer Fun – A Simple Idea to Use This Set

I love all deer. Reindeer have been synonymous with Christmas since the poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas”. You won’t find reindeer where I am in the UK. There was a company that used to bring them for a parade to Lincoln many years ago. That has stopped and I am glad as I used to feel sorry for the poor deer in small enclosures on concrete paving.

This image of her mother deer and her baby melts the heart. Deer are graceful and athletic creatures and to see them in their natural habitat is such a treat. These deer are coloured using only a couple of different Stmapin’ Blend alcohol markers. You don’t need a huge collection to achieve a beautiful image.

The minute I saw the Snowy Wonder stamp set in the new catalogue, I knew I wanted it. I love all these small images. They are versatile. I have so many ideas for future cards using this set. Today I’ve used the gorgeous little penguin. In my mind, the penguin is dancing with the candy cane. I was thinking of Fred Astaire but as a penguin.

I don’t know about you, but quick and easy cards are always a win for me. The ephemera packs and designer series paper (DSP) from Stampin’ Up! make this so easy.
