I love our new Carols of Christmas Bundle. When you first look at it, the first thing you probably see are the large sayings “Deck the Halls” and “Peace on Earth”… I have to confess, that the first thing I saw was the deer! And when I saw the set of co-ordinating dies, the first thing I saw was the deer And the pine trees!!!
You see, here in Wisconsin, deer hunting is Big! Of course I wish the deer had a nice big rack on it, but I am just so excited to have this set to create masculine cards .
Since I wanted to create a card with the pines, I first needed to create a stencil with the pine dies from the Card Front Builder Die set…
I used our Window Sheets to create the stencil. Our dies cut perfect images in the Window Sheets for stenciling. As you can see, I put stickers on my stencils (Up & Top) to use in my classes. This way if there is any ink residue on the window sheet, it won’t be transferred onto the next card.
For my sponge, I used a 1/4 of our round Stamping Sponges. By putting it into a clip, it’s easier to hold and less chance to get your fingers full of ink. Just pounce your sponge onto your ink pad to pick up the ink and pounce lightly and drag your sponge downward for a great image.
The saying is from our Rose Wonder stamp set and the extra pines come from the Pretty Pines Thinlits.
One last little detail to this card… the new mini dimensional fits perfect on the back of one of the cute little deer, as you can see on the Birthday wishes banner. And don’t forget to sponge around the banner saying with the Soft Suede ink. This gives the sentiment layer just a little boost.
