Reindeer Themed Christmas Cards

Hello Dreamers!

I have another collection of Christmas Cards to share today. Again, I used beautiful Decorative Papers with minimal stamping. I wanted to use all those lovely papers I have had in my stash for several years. Sometimes I think they are too pretty to cut. But, I decided to jump right in and cut away! LOL This paper was heavy enough that I was able to used it as the card base. I added die cuts and ribbons to complete each project.

Stamps are from Stampin' Up.

I put up some of my decorations yesterday. I put together this cute owl wreath and hung it in my entry foyer. Here are a few picts.

I only put a very tiny tree. And, a few quilts and pillows. Here is the fireplace area.

Challenges for my Reindeer Cards:
Simon Wednesday: anything goes
Mod Squad: Holiday Dimension
Holly Jolly Christmas challenge: a Christmas card or anything but a card
Merry Monday: masculine Christmas card

Well, I guess that's it for me today. Hope you are having a lovely day!

The Twenty-Five Days of Christmas Day Two

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to Day Two of The Twenty Five Days of Christmas!!

And Blog Candy!!

I will be showcasing a different Christmas card each day of December from the 1st through the 25th. I have tried to keep most of the cards mail friendly without lots of heavy embellishments. I send out over 75 Christmas cards and I really want them to be easy to mail. On Today's cards I used an embossing folder to create the focal point.

Materials:

Stamps:Various Holiday Sentiments

CS: Cream, Dark Green; Soft Suede and Chocolate Chip from Stampin' Up
Vintage Photo Distress Ink

Brilliance Pearlescents Pigment ink
Clear Embossing Powder

Silver Stickles glitter glue

Silver Ribbon

Reindeer Embossing Folder-Darice
Background made with Template and spray inks

After dry embossing the card stock I used the direct to paper method of applying ink to the raised portion (the reindeer). On the first card, I used Vintage Photo DI. On the second card, I used pigment ink and then sprinkled clear embossing powder over and heat embossed.

And, don't forget the blog candy. I purchased some new items and shared some of my stash. Here it is!!
