Christmas cards with deer are always popular and I love using them on an all white background.   Adding a few colorful images creates interest that pops against the white background.  For this card I used the Rubbernecker Stamps Deer Family, Winter Tree, Nested Deckle Rectangles, Deckle Hills, Greenery #1 and Small Birds.  The polka dot embossed background was made using a retired folder made by Sizzix for Stampin’ Up!

The Scene Base

• Cut the deckle layer using white cardstock, insert in embossing folder and run through the die cutting machine.
• Use ATG adhesive to attach the deckle layer to the red background layer.
• Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the deckle layer and attach it to the white card base.
• Cut the deckle hill layer using white cardstock and attach it to the deckle layer using strips of mounting tape.

Create the Scene

• Cut the deer and tree using white cardstock.
• Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the tree, tuck it in behind the snow layer and attach to the scene base,  Note:  I added a few rolled up tiny glue dots to a few key spots to hold the upper branches in place.
• Use green cardstock to cut the evergreen branches.
• Cut tiny pieces off of a branch and attach them to the deer neck using glossy accents. I added a tiny red collar to the mamma dear just for fun even though we know deer don’t wear collars. LOL!
• Punch out red 1/16″ circles and attach them to the necks of both deer using glossy accents.
• Tuck the mamma and baby deer in behind the snow layer and attach using pieces of mounting tape.
• Cut the green branches apart and attach them in behind the snow layer using glossy accents.
• Use red cardstock to cut the birds and color their beaks with a black marker.
• Finish the scene by attaching the birds to the scene using small pieces of mounting tape.
