I used the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Deer stamp set bundle to create a Christmas card to share with you today.  I did a video tutorial for this card on YouTube live and you can see it here.

I started by adhering a panel of Peaceful Prints DSP to the front of a Real Red card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I cut another panel of Peaceful Prints DSP with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then adhered the die cut panel to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I cut a panel of gold foil from the Brushed Metallic Cardstock two times with one of the Seasonal Swirls Dies and then adhered the two die cuts with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I punched a panel of Peaceful Prints DSP with the Deer Builder Punch and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I cut another panel of Peaceful Prints with the flower dies from the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder and then adhered the die cuts with Mini Glue Dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Deer photopolymer stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Basic Black card stock, sprinkled it with white embossing powder from the Basics Embossing Powders and then heat embossed it.  I cut the sentiment out with one of the openings in the Messages Die.  I adhered the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front and then added gold pearls from the Metallic Pearls pack to the center of each flower to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment and deer images from the Peaceful Deer stamp set in Real Red and Sahara Sand inks on a panel of Basic White card stock.  Then I added a strip of Peaceful Prints DSP to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.
