White on White Christmas Card

I am so happy with this card! The embossing folder is new - it was on clearance at Scrapbook .com in early November and I like that it not only embosses but it cuts away that centre area so you get this lovely embossed frame with one pass through your machine. On this one I backed the opening with snowflake printed acetate and the shine is amazing. Oh, and the embossed panel was cut with white pearl cardstock as well so there is shimmer from that.

Usually my holiday cards use older items from my craft room with maybe a new sentiment, but the front of this card uses all new goodies. Like that deer! I am crazy about that deer die (linked below) - not often you find one that is this large. I also bought it in early November and have used it a number of times already. The stamped sentiment is from a set by Stampin' Up which I added to my craft room recently. 😊.  The peel off stickers aren't really NEW, but I started a new sheet because I used up the sheet I started last year. Ha.

You can see in the photo below, a bit more of the shimmer & shine on the card. The deer was cut from white pearl cardstock and I added some layers to him (antlers & hooves). His rump also got a silver snowflake peel off sticker because ... well just because.

I kept the inside nice and simple, with a large stamped sentiment. I did use my MISTI to be sure the stamp got good coverage, since it is pretty big and I'm glad I did. There were a couple of spots that needed a second and third stamping! This is a large stamp set that I get out and use every year. I'm especially enjoying it now that I'm making so many 5 x 7" cards!

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.
