Deer Together: Creating an Enchanting Holiday Card with Embossed Snowflakes

By | November 4, 2024

Hello my Stampin’ Friends!

From Dasher to Vixen, Cupid to Rudolph, make all of Santa’s reindeer this Christmas season with the Reindeer Fun Stamp Set! This stamp set features different accessories and colorable line art to dress up the reindeer images so you can make the whole reindeer crew. The Christmas sentiments use a classic font, perfect for both sophisticated and playful art styles. 

Today’s project is a Christmas card featuring a heartwarming winter scene with a mother deer and her fawn. The deer were fussy cut from the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper. I fussy cut them instead of using the die because I wanted the green background removed and the die would have shown a 1/8″ Granny Apple Green background. The deer are rendered in brown tones with delicate white speckles suggesting snow, and both have subtle pink details in their ears, giving them a gentle, sweet appearance.

The background showcases an elegant embossed circular pattern, precision die-cut from Basic White Cardstock using the Reindeer Fun Dies, while a gentle touch of Balmy Blue Ink applied with a Blending Brush creates a soft, dreamy winter sky effect. The Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder adds delicate embossed dots resembling falling snow across the card, with carefully placed Opal Rounds Assortment embellishments providing that perfect touch of winter sparkle to complete the enchanting scene.

The card is framed with a red border and includes a simple Tuxedo Black “MERRY CHRISTMAS” message on a white banner at the bottom.

The sentiment is from the Reindeer Fun Stamp Set and was stamped with Tuxedo Black. The small leaves were stamped with Garden Green Ink and the berries with Cherry Cobbler Ink. The envelop flap was embossed with the stamp embossing folder as used on the front for a more cohesive look.

The design is beautifully coordinated with the sentiment from the Reindeer Fun Stamp Set, crisp and clear in Tuxedo Black ink. Adding a touch of seasonal greenery, delicate leaves were stamped in Garden Green ink, while festive berries pop in Cherry Cobbler ink. For a professionally finished look, the envelope flap carries through the same design element, embossed with the matching Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder used on the card front, creating a thoughtfully coordinated presentation.
