I really loved the deer silhouette in this stamp set, and wanted to create some masculine Christmas cards using this particular stamp.
For the first card I started off with the background paper from the Mix In Paper Packet that has all of the reindeer names on it- perfect to match with this stamp set! I then added a banner with the silhouette and one of the sentiments stamped onto it in Toffee ink. I used a Zip Strip for contrast and added some Holly Jolly Dots. Lastly, I stamped the pine frond and embossed it with clear embossing powder to keep a little bit of colour in the card.
For the next card, the base paper was from the Cedar and Pine Paper Packet. I used a Zip Strip from the Mix In Paper Packet to anchor the middle panel, and added a little bit of Burlap Ribbon for a rustic feel. The trees were stamped in second and third generation Evergreen ink from the Cedar and Pine Scrapbooking stamp set., and once again I used the deer silhouette and one of the sentiments from the SOTM stamp set.
