Happy Reindeer

By on November 24, 2015 in Christmas, Holidays

Ok, I love this happy reindeer from Paper Smooches. Doesn’t he just make you smile? This is my final project (I think) for my Online Card Class Holiday Style.

I used some of my favorite RED SPARKLE embossing powder on the sentiment and the candy cane stripes! Can you see the sparkle? I love that stuff.

I had to do a bit of masking to add that HOLLY to the neck on the reindeer, and then to do some of the inking. Oh what fun this tag was to make!

I used distress markers as watercolor to color that cutie. I think I’ll add the “To/From” to the back of this tag for a Christmas gift!

O Christmas Tree!

So I tried my hand at a clean and simple christmas tree card. I used the Tim Holtz Scribble Trees and I’m ready to try making more. There are so many cute trees in this set!

I used Evergreen Bough Distress ink to ink up the center of the card. This took me TWO tries! I really messed up the first one. This one turned out better. Laura Bassen warned that it takes a light hand and a lot of passes to really build up the color. I embossed the three trees with Ranger embossing powder.

I was going to add this card to a simple white card base, but it looked just too plain for me. So I jazzed it up with some sparkle tape!

This card makes me think of picking out a Christmas tree in a tree lot. That’s so fun to do, but we now have an artificial tree and never go to the tree lots anymore. So sad. I think I’ll visit one this year just for fun. Lol.
