Dashing All The Way

I used the Dashing Deer bundle to create today’s card ~

This bundle stood out to me right from the beginning as one I absolutely had to have! I’m so glad I made the purchase. It will stay in my collection forever! Here is the whole bundle ~ it comes in Wood-Mount and Clear-mount ~

There is so much to it, and I’ve only made this one card, so I am looking forward to lots of crafting time with it!

I took the layout idea from Linda Heller. She made a Merry Merlot/Copper Foil card that I CASEd and loved, so I thought I’d try it with some different paper and framelits.  Here is the card I CASEd (mine is slightly different than Linda’s but the paper and layout are the same.)

For the deer card, I used Under The Mistletoe DSP (Annual Catalog), layered over Old Olive, Whisper White, and Shaded Spruce cardstock. The DSP squares are 2″ x 2″ and the overall card measures 5″ x 5″.

I wrapped Shaded Spruce ribbon (from the Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack) around the inner layers and tied a bow. Dasher is popped up with Mini Dimensionals, as is the sentiment from Dashing Deer. Here’s a closer look at the Gold Foil deer ~ isn’t he majestic?

On the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the same set, added a strip of coordinating DSP at the bottom, and a tiny version of the Gold Foil Dasher to the lower left corner. We’ll call him “Mini D!”

Here is one more look at it. I found this small easel in my cupboard, and thought it might be a good prop for my card.

One last mention…this card needs a special envelope. I used my Envelope Punch Board to create a perfectly-sized envelope for my 5 x 5 card. You can buy 5 x 7 envelopes at the store that will work, but this is so much more to my liking!
