Peaceful Deer

Peaceful Deer is a fun set to tease my dad and brother with. You see, they are deer hunters and haven't gotten a deer a while so I told them that I had gotten more than one deer. I don't think they thought I was funny when I showed them my deer but I sure enjoyed it!

The base color is Crumb Cake. The designer series paper is called Peaceful Prints. It was only available during sale-a-bration last fall. I think I hoarded this paper so it's time to get some of it cut and on cards and scrapbooks!

Frosted Gingerbread

You may remember that I made a few other cards with the suite of Frosted Gingerbread. I decided to play with this set and dies but not the designer series paper. I find that when there is designer series paper with a bundle, I get stuck with using the colors in the papers and not looking beyond. I put the papers away and pulled out some other colors and got busy. 

This card starts with thick Basic White as the base. The Balmy Blue layer was embossed with the snowflake fold from Wintry embossing folders. I also stamped the border on the right side. The snowflakes were stamped with Balmy Blue ink and one in Night of Navy. The Night of Navy snowflake was die cut and added to the panel with dimensionals.

Frosted Gingerbread Pages

Christmas layouts are so fun to create for me. I love all the bright colors and fun patterns that is associated with Christmas. 

Here is one of the fun layouts that I made recently with the Gingerbread & Peppermint suite.

I started with Real Red 12 x 12 cardstock. I cut the  designer series paper to 2" x 6" strips. I picked the order of the patterns and adhered the papers to the tops of the cardstock. 

This suite had a Memories and More pack as part of it and I used two of those cards to help accent the layout. I also die cut the star, ornament, bell and snowflake from Cinnamon Cider and Basic White to layer together for accent pieces. A little bit of ribbon helped finish these pages.

Working with the 6 x 6 papers is a challenge for me at times. I'm not always sure how to use them on scrapbook pages. I love the way these pages turned out though. I may have to do this layout, or one similar again.

Happy Stampin'!

Frosted Gingerbread

Another retired set on display today. This one just retired in early January. It's called Frosted Gingerbread. This was available as a suite. The suite included the stamp set, the dies, designer series paper, ribbon, and decorative masks. I was really hoping this one would hang around a bit longer but, alas, we don't always get what we want.

Soft Suede is the base for this card. Before I added a strip of the designer series paper that had the sheer red ribbon tied around it, I stamped the beautiful border stamp with Soft Suede ink. The ornament was stamped, die cut, and added to the layers of circles with dimensionals. The rhinestones were colored with Real Red blend markers. To make the tail end of the greeting, I used my paper snips. Cut a small length up the middle of the cardstock. Then line up the top of the cut with the corner and snip that triangle off. Repeat on the other side.
