Reindeer Merriest Wishes Card

This time of year it's easy to find several Christmas challenges to inspire your card creations. For this Reindeer Merriest Wishes Card I selected the following challenges to create my card:

• Catch The Bug: All That Sparkles
• Christmas Card: Candy Cane
• Dragonfly Dreams: Christmas
• My Time To Craft: Christmas Animals

First step was selecting the image from my Bugaboo Digi Stamp collection. The image is called Reindeer - Christmas Goodies and it was colored with Copic markers. To add sparkling snow under the reindeer's feet I used glossy accents and fine white glitter. The frame around the image was die cut using a frame die from Taylored Expressions. The snowflakes were cut using a Cricut machine and the Christmas Noel cartridge. A shadow layer in pink was added for some extra color and some clear Wink of Stella applied for more shimmer. The sentiment is from the Christmas Magic stamp set by Stampin' Up! and the papers are a mix, stripes by Echo Park and ornaments by Recollections. That pretty much sums it up. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day! 

Reindeer Peace and Joy Card

Did you know there are only 22 more Tuesdays until Christmas? It will be here before we know it, so this week at Cardz 4 Guyz the challenge theme is Christmas in July. Create a Christmas card for a guy and link it up to the challenge blog HERE.

To create this Reindeer Peace and Joy Card I used the following supplies:

• Paper: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso and Island Indigo cardstock along with patterned paper from the retired Festival of Prints paper stack. 
• Stamps: Reindeer image by BoBunny and sentiment from Good Greeting set by Stampin' Up!
• Inks: VersaMark stamp pad, Early Espresso Emboss Powder, classic stampin' pads in Island Indigo and Bashful Blue.
• Other Stuff: Heat gun, silver glitter tape by Recollections, snowflake sticker by K & Company and Island Indigo candy dot. 

We hope you will play along this week. To see additional Christmas inspiration from the design team please visit the Cardz 4 Guyz challenge blog. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day.
