Reindeer Games Cards with Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing some warm winter wishes featuring these sweeties from the Reindeer Games Stamps!

To start this card, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies. I used the center portion of this die-cut piece for my background and inked it with Speckled Egg Distress ink. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Alpaca Holiday Stamps with white embossing powder.

Next, I die-cut the Autumn Tree Dies from light gray cardstock and cut the branches off. I adhered them to the left and right sides of the background piece and trimmed them along the edges. I die-cut birch trees from white and dark gray cardstock using the Rustic Winter Dies, adhered them to the left side and trimmed the excess along the top edge. I also die-cut the cardinals using these dies for a little pop of red above the reindeer.

For the snow along the bottom, I die-cut the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die from white cardstock and then die-cut the "sand" portion along the bottom edge using the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies. I then adhered this to the bottom of the panel lining up the scalloped edges. I adhered the background panel to the center of a gray A2 card base.

To finish, I stamped the reindeer on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I decided I wanted a white border, so I adhered the frame portion of the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies to the card front.

Hello Sunny Studio friends! It’s Bobbi here with a card featuring the new Reindeer Games stamps and dies. Jolly Santa must feed the reindeer before their big night, flying in the sky. This herd loves all things sweet including candy canes, colorful gumdrops, and peppermints, too. This is food fit for Rudolph and all the reindeer!

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I created a simple background scene using the Scenic Route stamps. I blended on some blue ink at the top for the sky. I splattered on a little white paint for snow and added a few darker dots of blue in the sky. A little blue coloring was also added to the trees. I wanted to keep the background super simple so all the attention would be on the foreground scene. It’s Santa feeding the reindeer gang!

I stamped, colored and die cut the reindeer and Santa. For the candy, I used the candy cane, peppermint and gumdrop dies from the Gingerbread House dies. I put two candy canes in Santa’s hands. The reindeer on both sides of Santa are ready to take a few licks from these sweet treats! Gumdrops and peppermints, plus a broken candy cane cover the snowy hills.

I stamped a few sentiments from the Reindeer Games stamps at the top and bottom and shaded around the elements to ground them and finish this card. I used the following Copic Marker colors to color in the elements:

Browns: E00, E04, E11, E42, E47, E44, E55, E57
Greens YG05, Yg07, YG02, Yg00
Reds: R89, R59, R29, R27, R14, R22, R20, R00
Cool Grays: 100, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00
Pinks: RV17, RV55, RV0
Blues: B000, B00, B02

I also used a Gelly Roll white ink pen for accents such as Santa’s beard and highlights on the candy pieces. Santa, the candy canes in his hands and the front-right side reindeer were attached using dimensional foam tabs.
