So this week
I have another Christmas card using the Falling Snow Stencil from Simon Says Stamp,
It’s fast
becoming one of my favourite Stencils in my collection and I can already tell a lot of
my cards this Christmas are going to feature snow on them.
I’m also going
to be using another of my Christmas favorites this year, which is the totally awesome
Wplus9 Stag Trio die set, it’s an
older die set but has so many uses, not just for Christmas cards, I had been
trying to get this die set since last Christmas and finally got my hands on a
set a month back as they are forever out of stock, seems they are a favourite
for many.
I myself
love the Stag Trio die set and have so many other ideas on how I want to use it
but I mainly brought this die set thinking purely of my sister as she loves
anything stag deco / stag related, so I thought it would make the perfect
Christmas card for her.
So now on to
the card details…
I started off
by using my
We R Memory Keepers Trim & Score Board to trim down
some cardstock,
making an A2 top folding card out of Trophee
Board White Linen 240 GSM Paper.
I then heat
embossed my sentiment from Hero Arts Holiday Tree using Rangers Super Fine
Black Embossing Powder, I then took the Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow Stencil
and some Wendy Vecchi Studio 490 White Embossing Paste and used this to cover
my card front, once I had cleaned my palette knife and stencil I then set my
card aside to dry.
While I was
waiting for the embossing paste to dry I moved on to the die cutting,
Taking the
largest stag in the
Stag Trio die set, I die cut him out of some Gold
Glimmer Paper, I also die cut two small banners using the Stampin’ Up! Banners Framelits
Die Set, one using some retired Stampin' Up! Season Of Style Designer Series Paper Stack and the other using some retired My Mind's Eye Time For Tea Designer Paper.
And because I couldn't resist adding a bit more sparkle to my design I had to add a little sparkly gold star to the banners using Gold Glimmer Paper, again using the star punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.
By this time
the embossing paste was well and truly dry so I could start assembling the
card,
I popped the
stag up on Small Foam Dots and placed him slightly over the sentiment, I then used Mini
Glue Dots to adhere the two banners to the top left hand corner, layering them slightly
over top of each other; I then adhered the star down with another Mini Glue Dot ,
placing the star on top of the two banners, super easy to make!
Im entering my design in at CAS-ual Fridays #144 - Tic Tac Toe

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting.
WRITERS NOTES:
Ok so I’m
sure some of you are asking why #BAMBI - DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW?
Well to start off with when I was making this card I thinking of that adorable scene in Bambi where it’s his
first winter and he’s jumping around in the snow with Thumper, and then because
it kind of looks like my stag is jumping / dashing through the snow - this then
made me start singing, Dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh,
over the fields we go, laughing all the way…… you know how the song goes.
