Beautiful Deer

Remember the card I made for my A2 card box? Well….this is basically the same. I LOVE the shape of the Top Note Die. I think everyone should own one.

I started out by folding a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Riding Hood Red cardstock in half and cutting it with the Top Note Die. The Baroque Background was stamped over it with Riding Hood Red and the edges were sponged.

Next I stamped the snowflake from Winter Post in Whisper White on a Kraft label that I had cut with my new Nestabilities. I stamped the reindeer from the same stamp set in Chocolate Chip ink on the bottom left of that label. I used classic ink for my sample, but I think I will let my customers stamp it in Chocolate Chip craft ink inkstead.The label was adhered to the next size Label cut out and sponged in Chocolate Chip.

5/8″ wide Olive Grosgrain Ribbon was tied around the card at the fold. The sentiment is from the Cute & Curly stamp set. It was stamped first in Kiwi Kiss and punched out with the Curly Label Punch. It was stamped again in Chocolate Chip and the label was cut out and adhered over the Kiwi (I think I will prestamp the chocolate labels to make it easier).
