Good Monday morning. Sigh! The long holiday weekend is over and it’s back to work we go. I had a quiet and relaxing holiday with Bob and actually got to make several new projects that I will be sharing this week. My project today was inspired by the background designer paper from the Pink Paislee Snow Village. It reminded me of the Disney Wilderness Lodge. I started out only making the Twig Wreath with Pine Pair sprigs but ended up adding the red Berry Branch and the large deer from the Deer Trio.
I cut the twig wreath using kraft cardstock and applied gathered twigs distress ink with a mini applicator. I cut several pine pair pieces and lightly applied gathered twigs ink along the center of each branch. I formed the pine lightly with my large stylus and molding pad.
I applied glossy accents to the pine pieces and attached to the wreath. I cut several berry branches and attached them in the pine with glossy accents. I thought the natural raffia made a perfect multi loop bow out to bring another natural touch to the wreath. I attached mounting tape to the back of the arrangement and attached it to the card base.
I liked the wreath but just thought it needed one more touch of nature, I applied ink to the deer with a mini applicator and attached him to the card base with mounting tape. I like him there. He made it complete.
Thank you for coming by today and I hope you have a great week.

LOVE this masculine holiday card! The scene looks great on the chevron bkgrd. 🙂
Love that you added the deer…a different but oh so smart Christmas Card…Don’t know how you do all this Kittie and work a full time job outside of the home…you got it going….and how grateful I am to be able to view all of your amazing creations every day.
Blessings.
Once again you made an amazing card. I hope sometime you’ll have some videos on how you make some of these. Your creations are incredible. How do you think of so many ways to use these dies? Always a “wow!”
Wonderful card. I especially enjoyed the shading you did on the deer.
Not a big fan of Chevron paper but you sure turn everything into magic for sure. The wreath and pine and the cute deer along with the frame transforms it beautifully.
Love it!! And the best part is that I have all the dies you used to make this!! I don’t have to go order anything….lol. I think I’m going to make a few of these in frames to give as gifts.
Good Morning, Kittie. I never thought of using the chevron for the background in this setting. Unusual an unique. I love the whole concept of this design. Beautiful and well done. I love the that raffia bow, to accent the woods feeling. Perfect. Just perfect all the way around. …hugs, you make my day., full of joy.
