Reindeer Times Two

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I'm back to making Christmas cards.  Not only are they my favorite
kind of cards to make, but I do love having a good supply when it's time to mail them.


I've stamped this NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff) stamp with Embossing Ink
 on a piece of smooshed background and heat embossed.
(Smoosh done with Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Not Quite Navy re-inkers
and Frost White Paint)

The die cut image is popped up on foam and I've tucked some sparkly
snowflakes under the corners. 


While I was at it, I stamped again on a piece of mop up and embossed in black.
(Mop up Peeled Paint Distress Ink)

Two for the Christmas box!

Two fabulous cards Bonnie...love a stag...I have to say you are well on track for Christmas 2021! xx

Dotty Jo said...

What stunning cards, Bonnie. I love the both but the blue one had me doing the whole 'jaw drop' routine! Thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x

Pat said...

Two fantastic cards Bonnie and I love this Studiolight silhouette deer, in white and in black it looks great, in fact I used it quite a bit last year and will get it out for an outing for this Christmas I think as it is so pretty. I love the arched shape die you have used and love the glittery snowflakes behind it, and the mop up piece in that pretty green is perfect for the contrasting black version and love the woodgrain embossing on the base card and the black mat, and also the white on black sentiment strip across the card. x

The deer looks fantastic on both the blue and green, gorgeous designs Bonnie, Cathy x

Vicky Hayes said...

I know what you mean Bonnie and might as well make them when it's chilly enough to imagine Christmas! Your cards are both wonderful and very inspiring pieces of embossed art! Thank you for joining us at ATCAS for our embossing challenge this fortnight! Vicky x

Both cards are fantastically beautiful, Bonnie! The stamp is so cool and your backgrounds make the cards all that much more special. I, too, am working on next year's cards, but really enjoying anything BUT at the same time.

Two great cards Bonnie. Love the stamped image and your lovely backgrounds. The blue one is my favorite. I like how the glittery snowflakes peek from the corners.

These are SO artsy! My gosh I just love them. That stamp is phenomenal and your card designs are so perfect for it. Two fabulous cards!

Brenda said...

Wow, I love both of these cards Bonnie! The first one is so pretty, it reminds me of a snow globe with that shape. I love how you tucked those shimmery, sparkly snowflakes behind the deer. Loving that inky background too, so neat the way it looks like it is snowing! Cool stamp too. Your second card is equally beautiful, loving that inky background too. The sentiment is so fun! Hugs, Brenda

Absolutely gorgeous cards, Bonnie! Your white silhouette is so pretty and I love how you created your smooshed background on the first card and the mop-up on the 2nd one...WOW!

What a wonderful reindeer stamp! I'll have to look for it. You created two fabulous cards with it, especially the first one with the sparkly die cuts behind the focal image.
