MERRY CHRISTMAS DEER

Today’s card features the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper and is a cute fun fold card.  I wanted to find a great way to show off this cute little deer and I think this fold is perfect. The card is simple and easy and would be perfect for making a bunch of Christmas cards in a short time since the paper and fold does all the work for you.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Early Espresso cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½”, scored at 2 1/8” and 4 ¼”.  Fold card base in half and then fold the 2 ¼” score line back to the left to create the base of the card.  I cut three pieces out of a single piece of the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper (I picked this cut piece of a little deer out in the forest).   I started by cutting the piece down to 6 x 5 3/8” and then cut it at 2 1/8 and 4 ¼” to create the three panels I needed, adhere as shown in the photo.  Next, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 2 x 5 3/8” and stamped my sentiment “TIDINGS OF comfort and joy” from the Hope & Peace stamp set onto it using Real Red Ink.  I added that to the inside of the card.  

To finish off the front of the card I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock out using the Something Fancy Dies and then stamped the sentiment “MERRY CHRISTMAS” from the same stamp set I used earlier onto it with Real Red Ink.  I used a couple of Dimensionals to add it near the bottom of the left side of the card front being sure to only adhere it on the one panel so the card would open.  I added a triple bow made from the Linen Thread and adhered with a Mini Glue Dot right on the edge of the sentiment.  Three of the red Festive Pearls finished the card off perfectly. 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:
