Hello my Stampin’ Friends

Today’s project features the Reindeer Fun Designer Series Paper (DSP) for the deer; the Winter Meadows DSP for the background and Shepherd’s Care Stamp Set for the sentiment.

This handmade holiday card features a charming leaping reindeer as its focal point, positioned within a white circular frame bordered by a decorative blue stitched circle; both layers of the circle are from the Spot on Nature Dies. The reindeer is rendered in warm brown tones with a festive red bow around its neck, and appears to be jumping joyfully against a textured white background with subtle dots resembling falling snow created with the Snowflake 3D Embossing Folder..

The card’s background showcases a beautiful winter botanical pattern with green leaves, blue berries, and soft turquoise pine branches – it’s from the Winter Meadow DSP. These natural elements create an elegant frame around the central reindeer design, while a delicate white bow (from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack) at the bottom of the circular frame adds a graceful touch. The card is matted with Blueberry Bushel cardstock that makes the design elements pop.

At the bottom of the card, the sentiment “Peace on Earth” is stamped with Blueberry Bushel Ink, while the overall design incorporates coordinating decorative papers on the envelope flap. The card demonstrates skillful layering and dimensional techniques in cardmaking.

To add a polished, coordinating finish to this card, a strip of the same DS) is attached along the right edge of the card’s interior, while the matching pattern adorns the envelope flap, creating a thoughtfully cohesive presentation that carries the winter garden theme throughout the entire project.
