I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.
Week 14
Today I feature the the Reindeer Fun bundle and coordinating Reindeer Days DSP (designer paper) in this fun fold design. The two largest circles from the Stylish Shapes dies were used to die cut the circles. The largest one is cut through the card front after the deigner paper was added. The smaller one is a Basic White layer ink blended with Granny Apple Green. The sentiment is stamped in Garden Green ink to bring in the colour from the designer paper.
The layers of the Reindeer are Early Espresso, Pecan Pie, Basic Beige and Festive Glimmer for Rudolph’s nose! The wreath is Granny Apple Green with a Real Red bow and swome Iridescent Adhesive-backed Discs.
Once the Basic White insert is added and decorated with deigner paper, the circle feature can be glued through the card front by adding glue only to the right half of the circle. This then forms the pop out feature.
Using the same suite of products and the additional Reindeer Memories Sticker Sheet, I’ve created four scrapbook pages ready to stick my Christmas Day photos into!
This double page layout also has some piecing to them. I traced around a paper plate with a pencil and used my piecing tool in the Take Your Pick Tool and the Piercing Mat to add the holes.
You can see the piercing more on this layout.
These next two pages use a piece of Country Woods DSP as their base. This one has the tab in the top corner for adding journalling an a large photo. Most of those deer have been fussy cut from the Reindeer Days Designer Paper. While recovering from surgery and not being allowed to do too much, this was a great way to pass the time away productively.
This page I have room for three photos and the top left is for journalling.
Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Monday for more Christmas inspiration!
Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Sharon Davern.

Wow oh wow Kate. I love your reindeer fun fold card. It’s a wonderful way to show the focal piece both on the card front and when the card opens. It’s fantastic with the reindeer. And then your scrapbook pages – they are amazing. I love them. The pierced circles are subtle and a very special touch. Your layouts are gorgeous. xxx
