Arched Window & Deer Card


I have been really enjoying this 8x8" paper pad with the pretty winter scenes (linked below) and this card is one that I had in my head when I ordered the paper. I love how it came out and will be making more of these for next year

After die cutting the Forest Window from a white cardstock panel, I embossed it with a 5x7" embossing folder then backed it with the patterned paper. The deer is a die I picked up in early November and I bought it because it's so nice and big! I love deer dies - especially over the holidays, and this is the first one I've seen this size. The deer was cut from white pearl cardstock and I added a snowflake sticker to his flank.


Inside the card I added a stamped greeting and more snowflake stickers along with a leftover strip of the purple paper which I had used to mat the front panel.

While it's hard to see in the photo, that bottom strip is embossed with dots and it adds such a nice texture inside the card!


Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
