Good Thursday morning and welcome to the Impression Obsession Design Team “Square Card” challenge. My project today was made using the newly released Snowflake Background and Reindeer and framed using the Lifestyle Crafts Nesting Squares. I love making white on white cards but I always seem to have a problem getting good photos that shows the detail. The reindeer looks almost lost against the white snowflake background in the pictures but it is really beautiful and shows really well in person.
The Snowflake Background is a rectangle die perfect for an A2 card. I thought it would also be pretty enclosed in a square frame. I applied ATG adhesive to the back of the frame and attached it to the background. I applied mounting tape to the back of the frame and to a few key spots on the back of the snowflake design. I wanted to be sure the die cut pattern stood well away from the card base.
I attached the tiny red bow to the neck of the reindeer with glue dots and then attached a few tiny pieces of pine with glossy accents.
Although this is a poor close up as the lighting is strange but I wanted you to see how sweet the reindeer is.
Why don’t you come along and play with us. To enter the challenge go to the Impression Obsession Blog (all the details are there!). A random challenge card will be selected to showcase on the IO blog and you can to enter to win a $25 gift certificate to IO just by playing! I hope you will go check out what the other IO teams members created for the challenge. Thanks for coming by today.

Love the white on white and that little red bow with some green on the deer’s neck is adorable and really sets him off. Love it.

This so elegant.. just love it!
This is beautiful Kittie! Love the snowflake background!
Good Morning, Kittie. Not to worry your photo came across very well. The white is gorgeous and the deer jumps with beauty. I love your background. the snowflakes make a super winter scene…..just beautiful…..have a good day.
This is so sunning & elegant…. Who’d have thought to do something so simple and beautiful… Well Miss Kittie would…lol. I so love this and gotta give it a try. Thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity….
GORGEOUS card Kitty……fun to hop around to the other DT, but I still think yours is the BEST and most creative use of the IO dies!
Hugs,

Gorgeous work Kitty! Love white on white and your work inspires me! warm greets Miranda
This is so elegant! Just beautiful!
What a superb die! And loving the card made with it xxx
Kittie…. I just wanted to tell you in case you didn’t know already, your red and white dove card is the one linked on the challenge post at IO, and not this square one!
Actually I checked it again….. the link is just to your whole blog, not this individual square card post or the ‘dove’ card….. The “dove” card shows because it’s the last thing you posted and was at the top of your blog when I viewed the IO hop list.
Wow. Love that pop of color Kittie.
Awesome card! I think the deer shows very well and the all white with the little touch of red and green is superb. These dies are to die for, lol. TFS.
P.S. I arranged my email by sender and found this stragler, it is from when I was sick. I try to read every single post you do. Hugs and smiles.
