Good Morning! Welcome to the November Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Regal Reindeer stamp set and coordinating Reindeer dies to make a Christmas card. I paired it with the pretty One Horse Open Sleigh designer series paper for a rustic woodland look. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I adhered a panel of woodgrain One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the bottom of a woodland scene with liquid glue and adhered the layered DSP panel to a Lost Lagoon mat. I wrapped a length of gold ribbon around the seam and tied a bow. I popped the panel to the front of a Pool Party card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the pretty Merry Christmas sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Regal Reindeer cling stamp set in Versamark ink on a Crumb Cake panel. I sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut the sentiment out with the label die from the Autumn Leaves dies and adhered it to the card with dimensionals.

I cut the reindeer from Pebbled Path card stock using the die from the Reindeer dies that coordinate with the Stampin’ Up! Regal Reindeer stamp set. I popped the reindeer on the card with dimensionals, cutting them small to fit behind the hooves and antlers.

I adhered a large red rhinestones to the label and adhered some small ones to the pine tree in the DSP with bits of glue dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Regal Reindeer stamp set in Lost Lagoon on a Basic White panel. I stamped snow around the top in Pool Party ink and adhered a strip of DSP to the side before adhering the Basic White panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper is one of my favorites for Christmas this year and the Stampin’ Up! Regal Reindeer sentiments are so pretty with it – and I love the Reindeer die cut!

Beautiful. Love the silhouette of the reindeer on that snowy landscape paper!
Thanks so much!! 😊
Beautiful card Akiko 🙂 LOVE the DSP background and that adorable tree
Thank you Karen! 😊
Akiko, I love this inside and out. The way you decorated the tree makes it look real! I tend to go for non-traditional colors for Christmas cards and you certainly achieved that. TFS.
Thank you Karen! 😊
Beautiful card! I love the small Charlie Brown tree! TFS
Thank you!! 😊
That’s awesome Akiko! The elk die cut (at least I think it’s an elk?) is perfect with the winter scene! 🙂
Thanks Amy! 😊
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Love the scene you created with this DSP and the die cuts! You can almost hear the silence of the forest! 🙂
Thank you!! 😊
Beautiful card, Akiko. I am not sure how I overlooked this set. You used it well with that gorgeous DSP. Perfect pairing.
For Amy, I thought it was an elk too, at first, but I did look up reindeer images, and it is a reindeer. Their antlers are different, with the reindeer being more straight up and less spread between them.
Thanks so much!! 😊
Akiko, this is beautiful! My eyes couldn’t decide what it wanted to look at the most—I love it all, the tree with bright ornaments, the reindeer, the sparkly snow. Bingo! TFS
Thank you so much!! 😊
Akiko, I love this card. Need I say more? Your little tree is so cute. Of course, I will have to CAS.
Thanks so much!! 😊
So happy Lost Lagoon is back and your use of different dies and DSP really makes this a unique card 🥰
Thanks so much!! 😊
