Cookie Cutter Christmas Peeking Reindeer Cards
It looks like Santa isn't the only one checking in on you to see if you've been naughty or nice! That adorable reindeer from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set is peeking in to say "hi" on today's cute Christmas cards!
Background Basics—This card begins with a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Night of Navy, mounted onto a Whisper White card base. I created the look of wallpaper and beadboard using the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper. The top panel measures 3-3/4" x 3" and the bottom panel measures 3-3/4" x 2". I created a "chair rail" with a 3-3/4" x 1/4" strip of Whisper White adhered to the seam.
Reindeer—I stamped the Cookie Cutter Christmas reindeer in Memento Black Ink onto Whisper White, then colored it with Crumb Cake ink and an Aqua Painter. His nose needed to be colored Cherry Cobbler red, for obvious reasons! He's punched out with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.
Bundle It & Save—Purchase the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and Cookie Cutter Builder Punch together in a Bundle to save 10%!
Window—I cut a 2-1/4" x 2-3/4" piece of Whisper White for the background in the window, then embossed it with the Softly Falling Texture Impressions Folder to look like it was snowing outside. I adhered that piece onto the card front, then added the reindeer on top with SNAIL adhesive. Next, I die cut the window shape with the help of the Hearth & Home Thinlits. It's popped up over the top with some trimmed down Dimensionals. Oh, he's just so cute!
Sweet Sentiment—I stamped a sentiment from Embellished Ornaments in Night of Navy ink on Whisper White, then die cut it with the Layering Ovals Framelits. It's popped up onto a Night of Navy scalloped oval die cut from the same Framelits, then adhered to the card front with SNAIL. I really like the way that only the oval is popped up, not the matted layer. I should do that more often—it's a fun detail!
Two Cool—For my second card, I tried out some different Floral Boutique wallpaper and the reindeer is peeking in from the other side.
Thanks, Michelle, for sharing your Too Cool card idea!
