Showing off my deer dies

This past year, I have been adding several NBUS deer dies to my die collection. So far, I owned only one (plain) deer die, the baby deer on the card in the middle. I'm happy I'm getting a chance to use them all so soon.


I had a single 6x6 sheet left of this muted pink patterned paper. I had used the sheets from the paper pad on my Christmas cards last year. So to make the most of my sheet, I cut it into three 2-inch strips, stamped the trio of trees from a Stamper's Anonymous set in a brown-grey ink and also blended a little ink around the panel and adhered each panel onto a white mat before adding the panels to my card bases. I die cut the deer from plain white cardstock and blended two colours of brown ink from the top and bottom. To finish off, I used a mix of previously stamped and die cut sentiments (Christmas Word Mix, SSS).

I'm linking up my cards at:

    I can practically hear the peacefulness of these scenes (being out in the snowy woods, not much to hear to at all, actually). Such gorgeous cards!

    Prachtige set kaarten, met eenvoudige ingrediënten, maar zo'n mooi stilleven effect. The trio of trees blijf ik ontzettend mooi vinden, met herinneringen dat we samen aan kerstkaarten werkten. Liefs Ineke☀️
