A Card a Day in December--Cute Crittters! Day #4

I just couldn’t wait to play with the Managerie Mix Up bundle in the Handmade for You catty! Its a huge fun stamp set with over 35 images and coordinating dies so you can really just about make any creature! I decided to make an adorable little reindeer!

I knew this cute card would be a fun one to share as part of my A Card a Day in December—Holiday Style series! This is card #4!

I am really into the pink and red color combo for holiday cards this year. I started with a Blushing Bride base and cut myself a little window with the 2 1/2 circle punch and layered behind it a piece of Whisper White cards stock that I ran though the Winter Snow embossing folder.

I love this folder so much as the size of the snowflakes makes it work with so many stamp sets!

I stamped some snowflakes from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in coordinating ink across the back. My little reindeer is coloured with Stampin’ Blends in Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate, Ivory and Flirty Flamingo. A tip when stamping these guys is to stamp all the piece separate as all the dies are individual. Then you just have to piece him together. Once he was all together I tucked him inside the circle so it looked like he was peeking out.

I created custom wrapping paper for my little present by using my Stampin’ Blends markers!

The sentiment is borrowed from the Dove of Hope stamp set and is stamped on a strip of Real Red card stock. I added a couple banners behind using the Plaid Tiding 6x6 paper stack and of course, some silver metallic thread.

I hope you have fun creating your own little holiday critters with this awesome bundle! Please feel free to shop with me in Canada if I have inspired you!
