Welcome to this week’s Happy Stampers Blog Hop. Today we bring you a color challenge. These colors speak winter and Christmas to me, so I pulled out the Santa’s Sleigh Bundle to help me out.
Early Espresso is my base color which I layered with Whisper White and then a pattern from the Candy Cane Lane DSP (which is included in the DSP deal right now, see below).
Next I used the tree from the Santa’s Sleigh Thinlit Dies to cut out three trees in Early Espresso. I also stamped in Real Red a wreath and cut it out with the same dies.
So, for a moment let’s fast forward to tomorrow. My card tomorrow uses the deer stamped/cut out of Crumb Cake. I was about to toss the negative and thought – that’s actually pretty cute.
So I left Mr. Deer alone, placed some Whisper White behind him, and matted him on Real Red. I gave him a Real Red bow around his neck, added the sentiment stamped in Early Espresso, and finished it off with a Real Red Enamel Dot.
Enjoy!

Awesome card Jaimie! Love that you used the negative die cut for your little reindeer. Perfect use of the colors! 🙂
Nice. Love how you used tomorrow’s card “waste” today! Sounds like something I would do! I love how you stacked the trees behind the reindeer. This is just a super cool card, Jaimie! 🙂
Love the way you used the negative image!
Love your idea of using the negative space for your card today! I have not done it but keep thinking I will try it. Thanks for the inspiration. The bow just pulls it all together, too. Love it! 🙂
Love your use of the negative space! I save some but never know how to use them! Awesome card!
