Heart of Christmas Week 9: Reindeer Days

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 9

Today I feature the Reindeer Fun bundle with the coordinating Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper (DSP).

 Card 1 

Step-by-step Instructions

• Begin with a sheet of Pool Party cardstock cut to 29cm x 10.5cm, score @ 14.5cm to create a top folding portrait orientation standard sized card.
• Cut a piece of Reindeer Days DSP 10cm x 8cm and sponge the edges with Pool Party ink using a Sponge Dauber. Glue this to the upper half of the card base.
• Take a piece of Pool Party cardstock 10cm x 6.5cm and place it in the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing folder and run through your embossing machine. Ink the edges again with Pool Party ink.
• Wrap some Pool Party Pompom Ribbon around the top edge adhering the ends on the back with Stampin’ Seal, then adhere this to the card allowing the same border around the bottom 3 edges.
• Die cut a Basic White circle using the Stylish Shapes dies and sponge the edges. Adhere this to the card on Dimensionals.
• Die cut a reindeer from the DSP with the coordinating die. Glue this to the circle.
• From the Peaceful Season bundle, stamp ‘merry’ in Versamark ink onto Real Red cardstock, add White WOW Emboss Powder and melt it with your Heat Tool. Die cut this with the banner from the dies. Glue this to the bottom of the circle.
• Stamp the ‘christmas’ in Versamark ink, then directly into the Real Red inkpad before onto some Pool Party cardstock. Add Clear Emboss Powder and melt it with your Heat Tool. Die cut with the coordinating die. Add to the card on Dimensionals.
• Finish off by adding some Iridescent Adhesive-backed Discs.

Card 2

Step-by-step Instructions

• On the same size card base as above, add three strips of designer paper 10cm x 4.5cm and adhere them to the card.
• Die cut a Pool Party circle using the Stylish Shapes dies and sponge the edges. Dry emboss it with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder then adhere this to the card on Dimensionals.
• Die cut the pieces for the Reindeer using Early Espresso, Basic White and Crumb Cake cardstock and glue them together. Adhere to the circle.
• Stamp the sentiment in the same way as the previous card.
• Finish off by adding some Iridescent Adhesive-backed Discs.

I got on a bit of a roll, so I have a third card to share with you!

Card 3

Step-by-step Instructions

• On the same size card base as above, cut a piece of Reindeer Days DSP 10cm x 8.5cm and sponge the edges with Pool Party ink using a Sponge Dauber. Glue this to the upper half of the card base.
• Take a piece of Pool Party cardstock 10cm x 6cm and place it in the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing folder and run through your embossing machine. Ink the edges again with Pool Party ink.
• Wrap some Pool Party Pompom Ribbon around the top edge adhering the ends on the back with Stampin’ Seal, then adhere this to the card allowing the same border around the bottom 3 edges.
• Tie a bow and adhere this with Glue Dots.
• Stamp the sentiments in the same way as the previous card, but the MERRY is simply cut using Snips.
• Finish off by adding some Drusy Adhesive-backed Embellishments.

The inside for all three cards is this very simple Basic White insert 10.5cm x 7.4cm with a sentiment stamped in Real Red.

TIP: I cut a sheet of A4 cardstock down the centre at 10.5cm, then cut each of these into 7.4cm pieces, so I can get 8 inserts from one sheet of cardstock!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Monday for more Christmas inspiration!

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Judy May.
