Big Wishes for Christmas

Hi, all!

Everybody enjoying the Blog Blitz so far?

I have a lot of favorites stamps and dies from this collection, so it was hard to pick out which one was calling my name the loudest. However, the Leaping Deer die and Big Merry Christmas stamp were screaming at me, so I went with them today!

S U P P L I E S: Paper (Wassail, Peapod, Soiree Shimmer Gold); Patterned Paper (First Snowfall); Stamp (Big Merry Christmas); Die (Leaping Deer); Ink (Ranger Distress Shabby Shutter); Accents (gems); Other (Superfine Detail Clear embossing powder, dimensional tape). 

This card can be made quickly, and you can switch out the patterned paper and cardstock colors to customize it more to your own taste, if you like. The photo isn't showing it very well, but I clear embossed the background sentiment, and I love the subtle shine and interest it adds – and having a second deer as a shadow adhered with dimensional tape can really make that deer leap off the page! (Pun intended – lol!)

Enjoy the Blitz!
