Golden Glitz Dashing Deer

A Dashing Deer Christmas card with a Golden Glitz watercolour background

In a previous post I shared how I made some Golden Glitz watercolour backgrounds.  This card uses another piece of the background.

I stamped the deer onto Blackberry Bliss card with Golden Glitz metallic ink (using my Stamparatus so that I could overstamp for better coverage) and cut it out with the coordinating Detailed Deer die.

I gold heat embossed the greeting and cut it out with one of the Merry Christmas dies, deciding to sponge the edges with gold ink to soften the look.

As always, I cut out the centre of the Gold Foil layer for use in another project.

Brightly Gleaming Dashing Deer

A simple Christmas card featuring Dashing Deer stamp set,
coordinating Detailed Deer die and Brightly Gleaming paper

This is one of my favourite simple Christmas cards and is really quick and easy to replicate for mass-production.

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the Dashing Deer onto Pretty Peacock cardstock with Celestial Copper metallic ink.  This allowed me to overstamp to ensure a good coverage of ink.  Once the ink was dry, I then cut out the deer with the coordinating Detailed Deer die.

A quick, mass-production, alternative would be to cut out as many of the deer as required and then use this method with the Stamparatus to stamp the die cuts.

To obtain the stitched frame, I cut a rectangle of Copper Foil sheet a little larger than a Stitched Rectangle die, then centred the die and cut.  This left the frame for use on this card and a rectangle for use on another project.

I also removed the centre of the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper for use in another project.

I cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to fit inside the stitched detail and then adhered the deer.

Feels Like a Frosty Deer - A Christmas Card

A quick and easy Christmas card using the Dashing Deer stamp set and coordinating Detailed Deer dies
as well as the Feels Like Frost paper and Silvery Shimmer metallic ink

This card is so elegant, so pretty and soooo easy!

To the Basic Black base card I added a layer of Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I then added a torn piece of Whisper White card to the bottom and stamped the greeting from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set.

On this version of the Christmas card, I used the greeting included in the Dashing Deer stamp set

Using Basic Black cardstock, Silvery Shimmer metallic ink and my Stamparatus, I stamped the image from the Dashing Deer stamp set several times until I was happy with the depth of colour.  Then I cut out the deer with the coordinating Detailed Deer die and adhered it to the card front.

TIP:  Since they are pigment inks, the Delicata metallic inks take quite a bit of time to dry.  To avoid smudging, either leave plenty of drying time or speed up the process a bit with a heat tool.

The foliage is cut from Blackberry Bliss card and the little flowers are cut with dies in the Detailed Deer die set.

Mercury Glass Acetate, Tin Tile and Detailed Deer

A Christmas card featuring a panel of Mercury Glass Acetate backed by Copper Foil Sheet

Here's an idea for a quick, simple but effective Christmas card - or change the die cut and sentiment to make a card for any occasion!

The base card is Smoky Slate to which I've added layers of Basic Black and Pretty Peacock.  I used the Tin Tile Embossing Folder to add some texture and pattern to the Pretty Peacock layer.

I cut pieces of Copper Foil Sheet and Mercury Glass Designer Acetate to the same size and adhered the acetate on top of the copper.
TIPS:  I found I could get away with using the tape type of adhesive - I added it to the back of the acetate around the edges.  Remember to peel away the protective layer from the acetate before you use it!

I popped the resulting silver and copper background onto a layer of Basic Black and adhered to the card front.

In order to continue the shiny theme, I cut the deer from Black Foil Sheet but I'm sure Basic Black cardstock would also work well.  Having glued the deer to the centre panel, I added a Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewel for an eye.

I cut one of the greetings from the roll of Classic Weave Ribbon.  It needed a bit more oomph, so I kept it simple by adding a couple of strips of Mint Macaron ribbon and some more of those Holiday Rhinestones.
