Christi's Creative Crew: Graceful Deer

Today I am featuring some cards made using the GRACEFUL DEER Stamp Set.

Each Tuesday I try to have one masculine card out for my Tuesday Stampers.

Masculine cards are probably my hardest, followed by a teen card. Hmmmm....maybe teen cards are actually harder. Either way, I wanted to share a couple upcoming cards for my Tuesday stampers...

This first card was inspired by Linda Bouwin.

What I changed up: The designer paper - I'm so excited that the COUNTRY WOODS 12x12 Designer Paper is carried over to the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. I chose this birch looking print.

I also changed up the sentiment - choosing to make it a birthday card instead of a thank you. I am using a stamp from the December 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit.

If you are not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, I certainly would encourage you to do so. You not only get a fantastic kit to make cards with, but you get a stamp set and an ink spot. I use these stamps over and over again.

Also used on this card are the Deckled Circle and Deckled Rectangles - I hate to say that both of these have retired and the stock has been depleted.

These next two cards are basically the same, but after I stamped the first card I embossed it with a retired snowflake embossing folder. When I realized that not everyone would want to have a snowflake theme so early in the year, I made a second card and then embossed it with the Timber Embossing Folder.

They will have the choice not only on which embossing folder they want, but they can also choose to embellish (or not). They can also choose if they want to add a sentiment to the outside or keep it plain.
