Simple Reindeer

To finish off my Christmas cards for the year, I present this simple reindeer card that uses vellum (why do I always forget I own this?), random scraps of DSP, and some retired candy dots.

Tranquil Reindeer

Rose Red, Tranquil Tide, and Smoky Slate equal a great nontraditional color palette for today's card. The pattern of the DSP reminded me of Christmas decorations, so I had to use it.

Candles Galore

Today's card is all about featuring the beautiful bold stamps from the Merry Patterns stamp set. I decided to let the stamps shine and only add some background DSP for color.

Polka Dots and Stripes in Season

I went with lots of pattern, sparkle, and shine for this card! I can't believe I still had some Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper left over from this year's Sale-a-Bration. The sparkly strip was the perfect addition to this card.

Reindeer Among Snowflakes

Lemon Lime Reindeers

For this card, I CASEd the lovely Miriam @ Cards and Scrapping. Lemon Lime Twist is such a great color for Christmas and the reindeer outline is perfect! I ended dup switching out the small stamped sentiment to use the 25 image from my 25 Days retired stamp set.

Blue Candles

I always have to throw in some nontraditional color Christmas cards. I loved the repeating candle image, so I made that part of my background. I added a bit of DSP from an old retired set. Finally I added the great sentiment from the Merry Patterns set and some rhinestones. Love this card!

Snowflake Reindeer

For this card, I CASEd the lovely Martha Inchley @ Inch of Creativity. Hands down my favorite card I made with the Merry Patterns Stamp set. I love the repeating reindeer outline on the Crumb Cake piece, but my favorite part is the snowflakes. Those metallic snowflakes have been my favorite accessory from the Holiday Catalog.
