REGAL REINDEER BOKEH

This is my last Regal Reinder card for this week. And it is another calm and peaceful card. For some reason, this card reminds me of an old song we used to sing. "Let there be Peace on Earth, and let it begin with me."

With the construction going on in my house, I feel like I could use some peacefulness. Living in a construction zone is not for the faint of heart!

Today's card uses the Bokeh Technique which I demonstrated on my YouTube Channel a couple of weeks ago. If you missed the video, you can always watch the replay.

This technique is fun and very easy, and doesn't it make a pretty background for my Regal Reindeer and his little bunny friend? Let me introduce you to Reggie and Hope -- you decide which is which!

Reggie and Hope look like they are having a nice friendly conversation, don't they? I wonder what they are talking about. Maybe that Christmas is coming and that our world could certainly use more friendly conversations and some Peace on Earth!

The colors used for Reggie and Hope's sky were Blueberry Bushel, Azure Afternoon, Highland Heather and Balmy Blue. Of course, Craft White ink was used for the Bokeh dots. A few snowflakes are drifting through the air courtesy of the Snowflake Assortment embellishments. For a little additional sparkle I added a small Rhinestone to each snowflake. It doesn't show in the photo, but I used my Balmy Blue Blender Pen to color those rhinestones.

I made a boo-boo on the inside of the card and stamped my sentiment crooked, so I just redid it on a separate piece of cardstock and then added a small Balmy Blue mat to the sentiment. That made it easy to straighten out. If you are better at stamping straight than I am -- you can skip this step. Although I do kind of like how it looks with the Balmy Blue Snowflakes stamped around it.

BRAIDS FOR CHRISTMAS

Last week on Learning with Friends I shared the Technique on how to make this Braid Fun Fold. The fun fold is what provides the interest to today's Christmas card featuring the Regal Reindeer Bundle.

I mainly purchased this bundle because of these 3 trees. I was searching for a pine tree/Christmas tree in my stash of current stamp sets and discovered that I didn't really have any! But after playing with the Reindeer and other critters on Monday, I've really been having fun with those!

However, since I mainly purchased the bundle for the trees, I thought it was time to use them, and they, along with the little girl, fit perfectly on this fun fold.

The braided fold of the card is the eye catcher, so I wanted to keep the rest of the card relatively simple and it doesn't get much easier than stamping and die cutting with coordinating dies.

The Braid looks more difficult than it is. But also, some things are easier to show how to do than to explain in words, so I hope the video is helpful. If you missed Learning with Friends last week, you can always watch this replay on my YouTube Channel.

The background for the trees is Very Vanilla cardstock. I tore a couple of strips at the bottom to add some "snow drifts". After adhering them to the Very Vanilla, I used the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder to give it lots of texture. I had only glued down the bottom edges of the snow drifts, so after embossing it I used my finger nail to lift and rough up the edges.

The little girls is stamped with Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Stampin' Blends. For all the details you can download a copy of the tutorial found at this link.

I found some retired metallic star embellishments in my stash, so I added two of them to the top of two of the trees. The little girl is holding the 3rd one and ready to put it on the remaining tree.

To finish the inside, I added a strip of the same Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper (DSP) that I used for the trees to the bottom of the Very Vanilla cardstock. The sentiment is from Regal Reindeer stamp set.

You can also see that a piece of the same DSP was used to cover the envelop flap. No Naked envelopes!

REINDEER AND A ONE HORSE OPEN SLEIGH

It's already a new week and time for another featured bundle of the week! This week I'm sharing cards made with the Regal Reindeer Bundle.

Today I combined the Regal Reinder Stamp Set and Coordinating dies with the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love, love, love this ONLINE EXCLUSIVE DSP! In fact, because it has so many beautiful designs, I had such a difficult time deciding which one to use with my Reindeer, that I just made two very similar cards with two different scenes.

The scenic DSP was adhered to the front of a standard size Thick Basic White card base, and then I just stamped and colored some of the animals from the Regal Reindeer and die cut them. Oh, so quick and easy! And aren't these pretty cards?

I used one of the Reindeer and the bunny on the card with the cabin in the woods. And on the second card I choose the wooded scene with the deer. Then I added the other larger reindeer, the fox, and the bunny again.

Do you have a favorite?

I used the Peace on Earth sentiment from the Regal Reindeer bundle for both cards which fit perfectly in the sentiment tag die from Autumn Leaves Dies.

For a finishing touch I added some snowflakes from the Snowflake Assortment to each card. I layered two different color snowflakes together and then added a Festive Pearl to the center of each.

For the inside of each card I added a strip of the DSP and used this wonderful Christmas sentiment, also from Regal Reindeer.

Steps to create each of the cards are almost the same, but for more details a Free Tutorial is available for each of the cards at the following links:

Cabin Card Tutorial

Woodland Card Tutorial

Both Cards use products from the same stamp sets, Designer Series Paper Collection, Dies and Embellishments. I did use different color cardstock and ink to coordinate with the colors on the DSP, but this would be optional. You could certainly choose the same neutral color for each card. See the list below and the tutorials for additional details.

Would you leave me a comment and let me know which card is your favorite?
