Two shades of blue were used in this card, Boho Blue and Pool Party. In both cases, I’ve used second and even third-generation stamping to achieve a muted softer look. The addition of the rhinestones in the centre of the snowflakes brings the whole design together.

Measurements

  • Boho Blue Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm X 2 pieces

I wasn’t pleased with the outcome the first time I made this card. You can see the first version in the video below. I remade it in the video and now, I love it. The coordinating designer series paper (DSP) inspired the colours I used. I love the snowman with his red top hat. He is so cute and full of joy.

I’ve always loved the combination of blue and red. Do you like it? The colours here are Balmy Blue, Azure Afternoon and Poppy Parade. I’ve coloured the little house to look like a gingerbread house. The image is from the Humble Home stamp and punch bundle. I love punches. The colouring was done using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love them, they are easy to use and produce great results.

I’ve paired it with the Take a Bow designer series paper (DSP) to give a central pop of colour. The gold foil sheet used in the garlands gives it some Christmas bling!!

I love this little tent box. It is easy to make and I am happy with how it turned out. There is no stamping here. I’ve used our ephemera packs to decorate and embellish it. A top tip is if you are making any bag or box for the first time, make a template using cheap cardstock. You can practice building the box or bag and make any mistakes before ruining your pretty paper. You can find a template for this box below the measurements.

Christmas Card – How to Use Your Pretty Paper to Make Die Cuts

Christmas Card – How to Use Your Pretty Paper to Make Die Cuts – Reindeer Days – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

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.

Measurements

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Real Red Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm.
  • Reindeer Days designer series paper (DSP) – 10cm X 3cm X 2 pieces

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.

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.
