Peaceful Deer

Hello Stampers!!

Here is a lovely seasonal card using the Peaceful Deer Stamp Set....It's not just for Christmas anymore...

Keep reading below to learn how to make this beauty!

Happy Stamping!!💓



 Supplies:

·         Bundle: Peaceful Deer Bundle (1569391)

·         Card Stock and Paper: Cherry Cobbler Cardstock (119685); Copper Foil Sheets (140202); Regals Designer Series Paper (155227), Basic White Cardstock (159276)

·         Stamp Pads: Cherry Cobber (147084); Pumpkin Pie (147086); Garden Green (147089), Sahara Sand (147117)

·         Tools: Stitched Rectangle Dies (151820); Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (149653)

·         Miscellaneous: Gold 3/8” (1cm) Shimmer Ribbon (156470); Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430); Stampin’ Seal Adhesive (152813), Sponge Daubers (133773)

 

Measurements:

·         Cherry Cobbler Card Base: 8 ½” x 5 ½”, scored and folded at 4 ¼”

·         Cherry Cobbler Designer Series Paper: 5 ½” x 3 ½”

·         Copper Foil: 5 ½” x 1”

·         Cherry Cobbler:

·         Basic White Insert: 5 ½” x 4”

·         Scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock for stamping and die cutting

·         Gold Ribbon (2 pieces): 4”

 

Instructions:

1.    Adhere the Copper Foil to the back of the Cherry Cobbler Designer Series Paper, ensuring about ¼”  sticks out on the left side. Adhere with Stampin’ Seal.

2.    Adhere your Designer Series Paper and Copper Foil layer to your Cherry Cobbler card base using Stampin’ Seal.

3.    Adhere your Basic White insert layer to the inside of your card using Stampin’ Seal.

4.    On your Basic White stitched rectangle, ink your large tree stamp and two of the double tree stamps using your Sponge Daubers and all of the ink colours noted above. Starting with your Sahara Sand Ink on the trunks, add in the other colours randomly on the trees. You’ll want to start with your lightest colour first (not including Sahara Sand) as this will minimize the possibility of mixing ink pads. Then, once you are ready, stamp your largest tree first and then stamp again beside the first stamped image. Do this same technique for all three stamps as this will create the effect of trees near and far (darker and lighter).

5.    Stamp the sentiment using Cherry Cobbler Ink at the bottom of the rectangle.

6.    Wrap a 4” piece of ribbon around the stitched rectangle, between the trees and sentiment and adhere to the back using Stampin’ Seal. Then, adhere the stitched rectangle to your Cherry Cobbler Cardstock layer.

7.    Adhere the stamped layer to your card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

8.    Tie a knot with your remaining piece of Gold Ribbon and adhere if to your card using a Mini Glue Dot. Trim the ends as necessary.
