Are you ready for some more Christmas card inspiration?
My Christmas card for week 3 of our Heart of Christmas blog hop uses products from a brand new suite in this year’s forthcoming September-December catalogue, the Reindeer Days Suite Collection.
I’m in love with this little die cut layered reindeer!
My classic Christmas colour combination includes Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Real Red, Early Espresso, Pecan Pie and Basic White.
The Mossy Meadow layer had been embossed with one of the Basics Dies before being die cut out using the foliage frame from the Reindeer Fun dies.
The reindeer is made from three layers of dies.
I’ve stamped the sentiments on the front and the inside in Early Espresso ink.
Both sentiments and the little tree on the envelope are from the Reindeer Fun stamp set.
To make an envelope that fits a square card I simply trimmed 1.5 cm off each side of a C6 envelope and used tear-n-tape to reseal the sides.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Rachel Woollard – I can’t wait to see what Rachel has made this week!
If the next button link is not working or you’d like to see the entire list of participants go to Sharon Davern’s blog.
The AWH team will be back on Wednesday night, showcasing Cherry Cobbler, or you can enjoy some more Heart of Christmas inspiration next Monday night.
I hope you can join us then!
Cute, cute, cute! A fabulous set and your card too. Love the embossed die cut layer and the addition of the bow to your reindeer.
Oh my Cathy how cute is your reindeer card and the easel fold is a lovely way to feature it. Thanks for the way to adapt the envelope to fit the card.
These Reindeer Fun products are the cutest things ever and I love your card. A cute design for your easel card and the embossed backgrround adds a great effect for your little reindeer to pop their head through. A great tip to make the envelope smaller to fit your square card too!
Oh so cute Cathy. Like Sharon I have been trying to resist this bundle but you are making it so hard. I love your square easel fold and the way you have re-sized the envelope. Great colour combo. xxx
Your reindeer is so cute Cathy, I love how he’s peeking out from the bushes
Such a super cute card, Cathy and reindeers are a popular choice tonight! The frame looks great and perfect to give focus to the reindeer. Great idea for resizing the envelope.
Well this is just the fun card isn’t it! I love it and I am trying so hard not to get this one! Now I might just have to. I will see if I can resist! I love the way you embossed the mossy meadow layer before die cutting it made it look very authentic! And who doesn’t love a fun fold! Cute Card!
Your little Reindeer Fun card is very cute Cathy! They remind me of the singing Reindeers we had at the Town Hall in Melbourne last year as part of Christmas in the city. Great tip to resize the envelope.
Adorable! I think it is impossible not to love anything made with these cute reindeer head dies. They are such fun to create with. I really love the embossed background on your card front, Cath – a lovely detail. Great tip about altering an envelope to fit, too!
