Hi Everyone. Today I am sharing another card from the Card Buffet last week. This was a fun Christmas card to make and fairly simple.
The stamp set is called Merry Mistletoe and the Designer Series paper is called Be Merry and they are made to go together. You can see the mini reindeer on the Cherry Cobbler dsp in the background.
Right now, the paper is on Sale as part of the Buy 3 get 1 FREE special through October. AND, the stamp set is on sale 15% off as part of World Card making day!
The paper is really great for Christmas and winter cards or scrapbook pages. There are background in Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green, and other papers with holiday images such as whimsical mittens and ornaments and trees and more.
I made a quick video to show how the card comes together.
Here is an up-close picture to show the Red Nose on one of the Reindeer. So fun and easy to do with Cherry Cobbler Enamel Shapes.

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share an updated version of an old card. I have made this card several times over the years with various stamp sets, which have been since discontinued, so I thought I would revisit it with some new stamps.
It's a fun little card with a pocket incase you want to add some cash or gift card.
I used the Little Cuties stamp set which has that cute chick, but also those sweet bunny ears!! Aren't they cute? I made a version with or without the ears, but I have to say I like the ears on better!
The papers used here are Succulent Garden and Mint Macaron.
I also made a version with this funny bird from the Sale-a-Bration set "Hey Chick!"
The "You're Eggstrodinary" stamp is from Greatest Greetings.
The Hey chick stamp set is only available for a limited time as part of Sale-a-Bratoin. You can get it FREE with a $50 purchase. Sale-a-Bration is almost over. It ends on March 31st. If you are interested in this set, you should act quickly.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share a card that we made a week or so back at my Stamp Camp. It uses the Santa's Sleigh Framelits dies and I think that the dies are so great for cards and scrapbooks and so much more. I can see these trees or reindeer on home decor projects as well.
There is a coordinating stamp set but I have to admit that I have used the dies many times and rarely with the stamp set. Of course it's still nice to have the stamp set, you never know when you are going to want to use them both. If you buy them by January 3rd you get a discount when purchasing them together as a bundle.
This card uses some of the Fabulous Foil specialty paper. This is really pretty acetate with gold or silver patterns on top. I went with all gold this time and I think it looks really pretty. I kept with a neutral color scheme of Gold and Very Vanilla, with a tree in Shimmery White. Shimmery White card stock has a pearl like color to it, not really white, not quite ivory, with a bit of a shimmer.
The ribbon is a twill with a bit of gold threading down the center.
The card is made up with several framelits. The main images, the reindeer, tree and star, are all from the Santa's Sleigh framelits. I love these framelits, there is also a sleigh of course and it has the most beautiful overlay die that you can use for a super fancy sleigh, or just use the outline for a more simple sleigh.
The "tis the season" is from a stamp set called Peaceful Pines. I searced through my Christmas stamps to see what small sentiments I had. This one worked nicely in the space.
I have a tip for saving some of your Gold Foil paper when making cards such as this. I needed to cut for 12 people at my stamp camp and I was thinking about how I was using a lot of my pretty gold foil paper. I almost decided not to use it as a frame around the Very Vanilla oval, but then I came up with this idea. I put the reindeer and star right into the center of the oval die, and cut them all out at once. This saved me on how many times I had to crank the Big Shot, but also on how much gold foil I needed.
The large oval is from the Layering Ovals collection. The Very Vanilla oval is from the Stitches Shapes collection. I did use a lot of dies from many sets and I don't usually like to do that because I don't want someone reproducing the card to need to buy so many different dies. You could easily change the Stitched oval to a solid oval and only then need the Layering Ovals dies and not the Stitched Shapes. That was my original plan, but then my Stitched Shapes framelits got delivered and I just had to use them right away.
Below you can see how the Vanilla oval completely cover the cut out reindeer.
I made a little video with some tips on putting this card together. Let me just say that this video is not one of my bests for sure!! I had to do it several times and I either coughed or sneezed or knocked something over. I had to re-cut pieces over and over. Finally I felt that I had one that I could live with, I had made some mistakes that I could live with and may have left out a thing or two, but it was OK, then I sneezed! I gave up! I decided to live with it. I am only human right? Hopefully you will laugh with me and not at me :)

And here are some more great projects using the Santa's Sleigh bundle from the Stampin' Up! catalog!
