Reindeer Fun

 
Check out this CUTE little reindeer.
 
This is one of the cards that everyone stamping with me 
at my October monthly classes will be making!
 
I used these Holiday Catalog products-
#164044- Reindeer Fun Bundle= $54.00
#164309- Take a Bow DSP= $12.50 
#164070- Earth Tone Gems= $8.50
This is what the card looks like on the inside. 
I used the
#164326- One of a Kind stamp set= $18.00
Here I stamped the deer onto some different colors of card stock 
to try to decide what color I wanted them to be.
*Smoky Slate
*Gray Granite
*Pecan Pie
*Crumb Cake 
 
Honestly- I like the Pecan Pie deer the best.
But it was too dark when I put it onto this card.
So I choose Crumb Cake.
And then I decided I would lightly color the deer 
using Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends too! 
Check out the deer below & notice how I colored them.
Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp sets:  'Reindeer Fun'; 'Decorative Trees'; 'Simply Said' & 'One of A Kind'
card stock:
  • Garden Green- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4" & fold in half for card base
  • Two Toned Garden Green- 3 1/2 x 3 1/2"- die cut circle foliage image
  • Granny Apple Green- 3 3/4 x 3 3/4"
  • Crumb Cake- 2 3/4" strip- stamp deer onto; die cut & color with Light & Dark Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends
  • Basic White- 1/2" strip- stamp words onto & flag end with Paper Snips
  • Basic White- 3 1/2 x 4 3/4"- for inside of card
designer paper:  Take a Bow DSP-
  • 1 3/4 x 5 1/2"
ink:  Garden Green & Pecan Pie
Stampin' Blends:  Light & Dark Crumb Cake
other:  Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine; Reindeer Fun Dies; Earth Tone Shimmer Gems; dimensionals; glue dots; Paper Snips
 
I hope you have a SUPER Sunday!
Happy Stamping!
