Today we’re making a Christmas Card using non Christmas Paper. You don’t have to use traditional colors unless you really want to. Try using what you have. I’ve used Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper in the sample, and will use Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper in the tutorial today. We’ll also be using Regal Reindeer, Brightest Glow and Scenic Wonders Stamp Sets. Pick ink and pencil colors that match your Designer Series Paper.
Craft with me!

Measurements:

- Earthen Elegance DSP: 4 ¼ x 5 ½ in
- Basic White: 4 x 5 ¼ in

- Use Lost Lagoon Ink to stamp background trees from the Regal Reindeer Stamp Set on either side of the 4 x 5 ¼ in of Basic White.
- Use Pretty Peacock to stamp the same trees but in the foreground of the card.
- Use Real Red to stamp Merry Christmas from Brightest Glow Stamp Set on to the top center of the card front.
- Use Real Red to stamp a sentiment from Brightest Glow Stamp Set onto the inside of the card.
- Use liquid glue to adhere the 4 ¼ x 5 ½ DSP onto the card front.
- Use liquid glue to adhere the stamped 4 x 5 ¼ in to the card front.
- Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the child and reindeer onto the card front.
