My card today shows you how well the Quilted Christmas Designer Paper looks with the stamped images. Look at how the sweater on the reindeer coordinates with the designer paper layers:
Do you like my Green Sprig on the front of the card? To make it easy to glue in place, I actually used my Paper Snips to remove some of the little branches on one side to make it flat. This made it so much easier to glue in place:
But wait, the sprigs are all green right? After I trimmed it flat on the backside, I dipped it into Embossing Paste and immediately sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds Glitter on the paste so it would stick. It is so shimmery in real life!
Once the paste was dry, I added a big gobbed line of Multipurpose Glue, placed it on my card and added a punch on top for weight. I left the weight on the sprig for about an hour to make sure it would stay in place. It worked!
Now lets look at Mr. Reindeer, I first stamped him using Soft Suede Ink on my Whisper White Cardstock oval and then stamped him a 2nd time using Real Red Ink on a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock. I cut the sweater out and glued it on top of the soft suede image. Doesn’t he look festive?
Here are the measurements for my layers:
- Card Base: Soft Suede Cardstock 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
- Layer #2: Whisper White Cardstock 5-1/4″ x 4″. Emboss using the Holly Embossing Folder. Glue to card base.
- Layer #3: Quilted Christmas Designer Paper (red gingham) 1-1/2″ x 3-3/4″. Glue to the left side of the white layer, leaving 1/4″ around all 3 sides.
- Layer #4: Quilted Christmas Designer Paper (green pattern) 3-1/2″ x 4″. Glue to the right on the white layer.
- Oval: Whisper White Cardstock. Oval is 3-1/2″ long and 2-5/8″ wide.

Thanks Carol for visiting!
Love this card. I love how you put Dazzling Diamonds on the sprig. I have to mail most of my 100 cards, so I'll have to substitute a paper diecut for the green sprig. Thanks for the inspiration, Debbie.
Yes, this would be a hand-delivered card on my end. The die-cuts would be perfect as an alternative. Thanks for your comment!
Love that sprig! It looks so snowy. I think your dapper reindeer in his sweater stole the show though.
I agree!
