Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Deer Christmas Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

I used the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Deer stamp set bundle from the upcoming July-December 2021 Mini Catalog to create my project for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  We’ve got a theme challenge this week and this is what I made for it.

Here is the theme that we’re using today:

I started by adhering a panel from the Peaceful Prints DSP (Sale-a-bration item available August 3) to the front of a Real Red card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I cut another panel of the Peaceful Prints DSP with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then stamped the tree image from the Peaceful Deer photopolymer stamp set (available August 3) in Garden Green ink across the panel.

I adhered the die cut panel to a panel of Early Espresso card stock with Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I punched two deer from the Peaceful Prints DSP with the Deer Builder Punch and then adhered them to the card front with Mini Glue Dots.  The Peaceful Prints DSP has deer that face both ways on it, here is a simple trick that I found in a video by DIY Diva:

Fold a panel of vellum in half and punch the deer image from the folded panel.

Cut a strip of DSP from the Peaceful Prints DSP and place the folded vellum around the “reverse” deer image.

Hold the vellum in place (secure it with Post-It Notes if needed) and flip the panel over.  Use a pencil to trace around the deer image on the reverse side.

Line up the traced deer in the Deer Builder Punch and punch it out.

A quick and easy way to get double the deer punches with no fussy cutting!

I adhered a length of Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim to the card front in a “z” with Stampin’ Seal.  I stamp the sentiment from the Peaceful deer stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut around the sentiment with one of the Tasteful Labels Dies.  I adhered the die cut sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front and then add three Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment and tree image from the Peaceful Deer stamp set in Early Espresso and Garden Green inks on a panel of Basic White card stock and then added a strip of Peaceful Prints DSP to finish the inside of the card.
