Happy Friday the 13th friends-
This week I decided to use one of my favorite stamps from last year the Elegant Reindeer. I paired it with a sheet of paper from the Spiceberry collection and a 14 Karat Gold Soiree notecard. The card came together pretty quickly thanks to my trusty and favorite corner punch. I finally used my Christmas gift from last year...YES Nestabilities!! Next I attached gold metallic thread, added ribbon, and berry pearls. There you have it...a pretty elegant but easy holiday card. I hope your week has been a good one and very productive. I sure had a busy week taking care of business, planning my annual holiday trip, and preparing for a couple upcoming holiday classes. As always thanks for stopping by and have a super weekend. We are suppose to get snow early next week. I guess I'm ready!! Why not?? I'll let you know how things go in the "white stuff" department next Friday. Peace Tami

Secure thread ends to back of paper with Scotch tape. Stamp Elegant Reindeer on a piece of Natural White paper a little larger than the die cut. Cut out image using the Nestabilities die mentioned above. Edge frame with gold ink and color reindeer with Copics. Add glitter highlights (Buttermilk pen) on the reindeer and punch an 1/8" hole on each side of the reindeer for the ribbon. Feed ribbon through the two holes and wrap around the entire card. I used dimensionals under the reindeer to pop up the image. Tie a double knot and trim ribbon ends. Adhere eight Berry Pearls to reindeer as shown.
