Deer Builder Punch

Special Christmas Cards 2022 – Project 2

~ Karen Young

Today’s project is the second card from my recent Special Christmas Cards class.

For this annual class, I always make sure that one project is suitable for chidren (of all ages!). This Rudolph project is the card that fits the brief for 2022!

Shimmery White cardstock gives the project a sparkly touch.

Using bright colours of Poppy Parade and Parakeet Party, a stripey background is created.

A face is made using a circle cut from the Laering Circle Dies. Eyes are from the Tailor Made Tag Dies, these are the hole reinforcer pieces. The nose is from the Stylish Shapes Dies, with the antlers cut using the Deer Builder Punch.

By arranging multiple antlers together, these create larger ones.

Once the eye and mouth are in place, the inner of the eyes are then coloured using a black felt-tip pen, I’ve used a Stampin’ Write Marker.

A swoosh of coordinating In Color Metallic Ribbon is then added, before the face is attached using Dimensionals.

The nose is given some sparkle using Wink of Stella and also added using Dimensionals.

Finally, some Champagne Rhinestones are dotted across the project for even more sparkle.

The attendees also made an envelope from a piece of DSP for their card.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Deer Builder Punch

~ Karen Young

As we have now reached December, my design for last week’s Card & Cuppa was a Christmas Card.

You’ve seen me create this design many times, but it’s not one that I’ve used at Card & Cuppa before.

This version uses a colour combination of Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla for a sepia tones type look.

The sentiment is from the Leaves of Holly Stamp Set. This is on the Last Chance List, so make sure you grab it while you can.

Stars are from the Alphabest Stamp Set and stamped multiple times. Wink of Stella is added to some of the stars to add some sparkle.

Lengths of Gold & Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon are then used to create a parcel effect.

Rudolph is cut out using the Deer Builder Punch in Crumb Cake, with the antlers and eye cut from Soft Suede.

Using a Blending Brush, a color flare is added to the background and also to Rudolph’s body.

Two shapes from the Handmade Tag Punch are cut and offset with Rudolph on top.

This piece then sits at the intersection of the two ribbon pieces.

Finally, a Red Rhinestone shiny nose is added, along with some Seasonal Sequins.

Countdown to Christmas 2022 – Week 3

~ Karen Young

For this week’s Countdown to Christmas 2022 project, it’s a quick and simple card with no stamping.

It uses an Embossing Folder, Dies and a Punch, plus some Ribbon.

As it is a reindeer, I chose Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Real Red to go with Basic White.

The background is from the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. I’m not sure what tune it is, but we’ll pretend it’s a Christmas carol!

Circles are then cut using the Layering Circles Dies and stuck together.

For Rudolph, the pieces are cut using the Reindeer Builder Punch, assembled and stuck to the circles.

This sits on Dimensionals over the top of a length of Gold Shimmer Ribbon

Finally, a Red Rhinestone is added to create the shiny nose.
