This is a cute little Christmas set called Color Me Christmas.  It will be available August 1st and has 5 little Christmas images.  I chose the reindeer for this card because he’s so handsome   I used a new Thinlit die called Circle Label which will also be available on the 1st.  It cuts a flip card and a few other pieces to decorate.  Unfortunately I’m having a problem with a few of the pieces so I hope to get that resolved today. 

Mr Reindeer’s suit is paperpieced over the watercoloring I did.  His nose is a pearl colored with a Sharpie.  This Designer Series paper is the new Season of Style.  I actually did the chevron with the little Thinlit in the set – but it could also be done with the Chevron Border punch. 


Some Washi tape and a few sentiments finish it off – oh! and a jingle bell tied to the top!

First off – good news!  The Label Insert is available again!  This is such good news because the Label insert can be used for any and every card you want to create.  Now for a sneak peek of two new sets from the upcoming Holiday Mini – Festive Flurry and Christmas Messages – using the Pop N Cuts Label insert designed by Karen Burniston exclusively for Stampin Up.

The Festive Flurry set has a matching Framelit and I die cut it 4 times – Glimmer paper, Bermuda Bay, embossed silver, and Coastal Cabana.  The snowflake is a new embellishment called Frosted Finishes.

The Designer Series paper is Winter Frost and it’s a specialty paper.  I took my colors straight from the paper. 

A smaller snowflake for the inside.

The sentiment is on the matching Deco Label Framelit.  I just love when things coordinate!

That hanging snowflake is on a box made by cutting the fold of the
shelf and making another box.  Then I  cut the snowflake to hang
it.  (I really could have made things easier for myself by just slitting the snowflake – I quite often do things the hard way!)
