Reindeer for Winter Wonderland Challenge on the 5th of August, 2022

 

At Winter Wonderland this month, we are hosted by Dawn!

Welcome to our seventh challenge for 2022.

Our theme is:

Reindeer

So here is my project:

Please remember that it is Christmas projects only and they must include the theme of Reindeer.

We do not have a sponsor for this challenge.

I have been looking at all the freebies I receive with my cardmaking magazines and I chose to use one of those for this challenge - I am not sure which magazine this is from, but I have die cut the Scandi-style heart die from red cardstock multiple times. I punched out all the pieces and then glued the heart on to a small white square card from Envelope Solutions. I then added two reindeers either side of the heart.

I then used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment from Happiest of Holidays Clear Stamp set by La-La Land Crafts in Love Letter Memento ink.

Here is a close-up of the freebie:

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge #120 - Anything Christmas Goes

What am I working on this week?

I am trying to adapt my reindeer card to Christmas gift tags....I drew another reindeer and made it into a digital stamp. Then printed it out on card stock that I bought from Envelope Solutions and then coloured the reindeer in with my watercolour pencils - still waiting on a sale before I buy those Copic pens! :)

So here are some photos:

I am also working on Christmas Gift tags with A Very Merry Christmas to You on one side and To/From on the other side. Photo and information to follow.

Reindeer Card - Cupcake 64

Here is my card for this week's Cupcake Craft Challenge:

Cute isn't it!!??
The challenge is buttons and bows.

I hand drew the reindeer face, eyes and nose with glittery Spica pens, then adhered the antlers (also hand drawn). I made the ribbon into a bow, then attached the button to the bow with embroidery floss. The bow is attached to the card with a pop dot.

I have used:

• a kraft card and envelope
• some Spica pens: lipstick and pitch black
• some card stock drawn in the shape of antlers and inked on the edges with black ink
• ribbon
• button
• embroidery floss
• puffy merry christmas sticker

 Attached to the back of the envelope is a merry christmas ribbon.

The kraft card and envelope are from fundamentals, the card stock from die cuts with a view, the ink from Vivid, the ribbon from American Crafts, the white button and merry christmas sticker from JoAnn Craft Essentials and the embroidery floss is from an old cross stitch project!

This card is for sale in my Etsy shop: JemLou Productions. Here is the link to the listing.
