Reindeer Scene Card

 

Hello. Welcome back to my blog. Have you started on your Valentine's cards? For today's card, I created a scene using dies from Kat Scrappiness that can pass as a Valentine's card. 

Have you used your dies to create a mirror image of the die cut image? This is what I did on the reindeer with the antlers. I placed the die on the wrong side of the patterned paper. I used a clean cutting plate for this purpose to prevent impressing the marks of an old cutting plate to the die cut. I die cut two more pieces on white cardstock to adhere to the back of the patterned paper die cut for some dimension. The die I used is the KS Reindeer Duo Craft dies.

I also did some die cut surgery to create a female reindeer. After die cutting the reindeer on the patterned paper, I trimmed the antlers off. I die cut two more pieces and adhered this to the back of the deer without the antlers. I trimmed off the antlers using the patterned paper deer as a guide. 

I die cut a patterned paper using a die from the KS Never Ending Square Craft dies. To add details to this square paper, I die cut this with the KS A2 Stitched Strips Craft dies to create diagonal strips. I pieced this back together on a scrap piece of cardstock. I trimmed a sliver off the edges.

For the tree, I dice cut a green patterned paper from the same paper pad. The tree die is from the KS The Night Before Christmas Window Scene craft dies. I die cut additional pieces to adhere to the back of the patterned paper die cut for some dimension. I adhered this to the square piece trimming off any excess.

For the background panel, I die cut another patterned paper using the largest die from the KS Stitched Rectangle craft dies. I adhered the square piece to this panel. I adhered the reindeers next.

I die cut small hearts using a die from the KS Perfect Pie Maker Add-ons Craft dies. I adhered this to the panel to create a speech bubble of hearts between the two deer. This is the most tedious part of this card. A good pick-up tool like the KS White Crystal Dual Ended Embellishment Pick Up & Die Poker tool, and a small tip liquid glue make the task easy. 

I did not add any sentiment since I think the scene is is pretty as is. I love the muted colors of the patterned paper included in this pack. That's what is good in using a paper pad or pack in a project. Most of the time, the paper complements each other lessening the guess work in mixing and matching papers. 

I hope you like today's project. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
