Christmas deer 3

And here's the third card I made with the gorgeous deer image from Paulette's TLC Winter Club.

I kept the card design pretty simple again, since this really brings out the image and sentiment. I used the same new Lifestyle Crafts die again (Nesting frame 3) and also used this die to cut off the lower part of the image paper and mat. I used my new My Mind's Eye 6x6 paperpad (Signature Christmas) again and matted this onto some (old) red Papicolor cardstock. To finish the card off, I added a bow from some baker's twine I won over a year ago.

Quick Christmas cards

These last-minute Christmas cards were very easy to make with neglected papers from my stash (Home for Christmas by Papermania). I had ordered these papers over the Internet but found them a bit disappointing on arrival, so they ended up in my unused stash. When one of the challenge blogs out there in blogland challenged us to use our unloved stash, I dug up these papers and decided to create a few cards with them and I'm actually quite happy how they turned out.

Materials used:

Cardstock - Neenah solar white

Papermania Home for Christmas

Ribbon from my recycle box

Image - Tlc Creations (part of the TLC Winter Club)

Die - Lifestyle Crafts

Red pearls - from my stash
