How are you all?? Now some people say its far too early to mention the 'C' word, but I create for Christmas all year round. I hate having to buy a card and would rather fold a piece of copier paper in half and write on it rather than spend my money. I am a papercrafter and that's what I do. But it's like with anything, you think you have plenty of time and then all of a sudden you have a ton to make in a short amount of time!! I used to be a last minute christmas card maker, which sometimes meant late nights trying to get the cards made in super quick time. They always got made but I did feel thag maybe the design got comprised due to time restraints.
Not anymore!!! I'm part of a group on Facebook called The Perpetual Christmas Card Club. Each week there's a new theme to try, and previous themes are logged in albums so you can shuffle through those for inspiration or just post up a card you made. It's a great community, with lovely folk who are about to jeer you on!!
Using smoky slate ink, stamp a small deer all over a piece of smoky slate cardstock that measures 5 3/4" x 5 3/4". Add this to a cardbase, created from a peice of 12" x 6" whisper white cardstock, scored at 6".
Take three strips of cardstock, I used Poppy Parade, Garden Green & Shaded Spruce from my scrap bin. Trim these so that they are all different lengths, then cut banner tails into them all. Adhere these down so that two are flat, and one sits over both of them.
On a scrap if whisper white, stamp the large decorative deer in crumb cake and the sentiment in early espresso and adhere this over the banners towards the left.
Finally I used a bit of retired trim to create a bow.
Here's a list of all the supplies I used in today's card, click on the images to head over to my online shop....
