Good Morning! Today I have a rustic Christmas Card made with the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Deer bundle and the Sale A Bration Peaceful Prints designer series paper. And I used them to make a fun fold card called a Joy Fold card during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the Facebook Live video showing how I made the card:

I posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel here so you can view it there if you prefer.

The Joy Fold card is like a double card with a smaller card on top of a regular size card. It’s great because it provides a lot of surfaces for decorating with pretty designer series papers, die cuts, punch outs and stamped designs.

I adhered the Garden Green tree print from the Peaceful Prints DSP to the inside of the inside large card and the Sahara Sand small deer print to the inside flap. I traced the back of the right facing deer and used it as a guide to punch out the deer from the Peaceful Prints DSP using the deer punch from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Deer bundle. I adhered the deer to the inside of the large flap. I adhered the Garden Green snowflake panel to the outside of the large card flap. I adhered the Real Red plaid snowflake Peaceful Prints DSP to the outside front of the small card and the diagonal stripe to the inside.

I cut the second largest octagon die from the Hippo and Friends die from Basic White and embossed it with the snowflakes from the Wintry 3D embossing folder. I punched the left facing prancing deer from the Peaceful Prints DSP along with another Deer from Basie White and adhered them together. I trimmed the end of the Real Red strip with the Banners Pick A Punch and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Deer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered the banner to the embossed panel with Glue Dots and adhered the deer with Dimensionals.

I adhered the small card to the inside of the large card using Tear & Tape. I stamped the deer from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Deer photopolymer stamp set in Sahara Sand ink in the lower corner of the Basic White pane. I stamped the medium trees in Garden Green and the sentiment in Real Red. I adhered the panel to the inside of the small card. I used the small circle dies from the Gingerbread dies to cut out a snowflake from the Peaceful Prints DSP and adhered it to a Real Red die cut circle and adhered it to the large card front with dimensionals. This is to tuck the front flap in and is purely optional. I finished the card with a gingham bow and red matte dots.

The Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Deer stamp bundle has so many sweet deer and woodland images and the punch is perfect. It coordinates perfectly with the Sale A Bration Peaceful Prints designer series paper that you can choose for free with a $50 purchase for a rustic Christmas look.
