Colour Me Christmas Reindeer Card

One more card using the Colour Me Christmas stamp set by Stampin' Up! This time the Reindeer ....

 I saw this different layout on Pinterest and decided to use it to create this Rudolph the Reindeer card.  The Chocolate Chip card base is narrower (4") than the Cherry Cobbler layer (4-1/4").  It is kind of backwards to the normal way of creating a card where the base is larger than the first layer.  Too fun!  A bit of Red Glimmer Paper punched with the 1/4" circle punch makes Rudolph's nose shine bright.  Flags are all the rage these days and three layers of them make this card pop out.

  Stamps:  Colour Me Christmas, Petite Pairs
  Ink:  StazOn, Cherry Cobbler
  Markers:  Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive
  Paper:  Chocolate Chip, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Red Glimmer, Season Of Style DSP Stack
  Other:  1-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Circles Die, 1/4" Circle Punch

I hope you have had a bit of fun using this cute stamp set.  There are five images in this stamp set.
Item #131742 - $25.95 wood mount or #131745 - $19.95 clear mount. Here's a picture of the set, just click on it to go to my web store and order a set for your very own.

Colour Me Christmas Tree Card

The stamp set Colour Me Christmas was paired with the new Expressions Thinlits Die - Merry - to create this card for you.

Then I popped one of my favourite embellishments on top of the tree - Frosted Finishes.  Oh I will be so very sad to see these awesome blingy embellishments leave us.  I have even seen them made into jewelry - earrings and necklaces.  So versatile.
The Expressions Thinlits Die "Merry" also comes with the words "Thankful" and "Love" and are only available until the Holiday Catalogue retires on January 2, 2014.  They are a bit tricky to use, but if you put some wax paper between the die and your cardstock when you cut it out, the words will just pop out in your hand. And, the best thing?  Well the wax paper stays in so there is no need to use another piece!!!!

  Stamps:  Colour Me Christmas, Merry Little Christmas (I coloured just the word "Christmas" with a Pacific Point marker)
  Ink / Markers:  STazOn, Pacific Point, Smoky Slate, Pool Party
  Paper:  Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Silver Glimmer, Pacific Point, Winter Frost DSP Stack
  Other:  Expressions Thinlits Die, Frosted Finishes Embellishment, Modern Label Punch

Time now to mail my cards.  I am doing something a bit different this year.  I went through my boxes (yes multiple boxes) of saved cards from previous classes and swaps, and I am using all the Christmas cards I have on hand from previous years!  How smart is that?  How sad is that, that I actually have over 125 of them!!!!  LOL
