Reindeer Days, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. The other day while looking around on the internet I saw a poem that I thought I would work into a card.  The poem was just too cute to pass up. I had purchased the "Reindeer Days" 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) and what to my wondering eyes is in that package?  Reindeer! Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a half-sheet of Real Red card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Falling Snow" embossing folder. Then I trimmed that piece to 4" x 5-1/4". I glued it to the front of the card. I also cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White and I taped it to the inside.

The words were typed on my computer. I used Liberation Serif font at size 16 for the title, 9 for the author and 12 for the body.  If you'd like a pdf (4 per sheet) I will gladly email it to you. You can find my email on the right sidebar just past the large QR code. It reads "Got a Question".  I trimmed the piece to measure 2-5/8" x 4" and the Real Red layer is cut at 2-7/8" x 4-1/4". I taped the two layers together. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card.

I fussy cut a reindeer from the "Reindeer Days" DSP. I used both tape and small Dimensionals to affix it to the card. Any part that touched the word piece got tape and the rest got Dimensionals. 

I added a few snowflakes from the "White Loose Snowflakes" container. I just glued them in place.  And that was it, the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I was so glad I ran across that cute poem.  And even better yet, I was thrilled that I had the reindeer!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda
