I realize there’s still 146 more days til Christmas, but I just had to share a Christmas card. The One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper is just too pretty to wait! There’s a lot of great winter scenes in this pack of patterned paper. And there are some more ‘plain’ designs that you can use for lots of different occasions not just Christmas.
For this card I’m using one of the wintery designs and I wanted to spotlight the fox in this design. I went nice and dark for the card base; Early Espresso. And then I used the DSP design for my card front. The dark card base really makes the snowy scene stand out, don’t you think?!
To highlight the fox I punched him out using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. Next I pulled out my recently retired Layering Circles dies to cut out a larger circle using the flipside of the same design. Or at least that’s what I meant to do; catch the replay and you’ll know what I mean. Then I popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The “Merry Christmas” is from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set. And I stamped it with Early Espresso ink and then layered a piece of Early Espresso cardstock behind that. Then I popped that up and added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
This DSP is so pretty and makes it super easy to make beautiful cards! Catch the replay of how this card came to be over on my Facebook page.
You can find the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP with the other online exclusives in my online shop.
I’m also loving crafting with one of the other online exclusive DSP packs; Hello Irresistible. Check out a card I made using that pack of patterned paper here.
