Oh Deer! CTMH Australasian Blog Hop


Hello and welcome aboard our Oh Deer! Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop.

If you have arrived here from Doris then you are in the right place.

If you landed here by accident, no problem, please join in by following the link at the end of this post.

Today I would like to share with you a creation which features Close To My Heart’s December Featured Collection, Oh Deer!


I love the soft colours of this paper packet, especially the mix of Sea Glass, Cranberry and Kraft.

I have created a starry layout for this year's Santa photo- Santa had a space themed grotto and so the boys loved it!

I used the polka dot paper as a background, adding a strip of Sea Glass cardstock to the side of the page and coordinating with Bamboo and Cranberry cardstock. I used one of the Oh Deer! PML cards to create the title.



I used some of the red stickers from the Oh Deer! Complements to carry the red theme, and this bow was the perfect topper for the present I cut using Kraft cardstock and the Gift Thin Cuts.



I added some interest the the bottom right side of the photo mat by adding a sticker and die cut from the Oh Deer! Complements as well as some Red Shimmer Trim beside the photo mat. I also created a diagonal cluster using some Cranberry stars cut on my Cricut and the Red Enamel Gems.



I created a Christmas tree at the top left corner by using a red star and the triangle from the Oh Deer! Complements, and adding a trunk cut from Kraft cardstock. I also added a red star sticker to the 'i' in 'Magical'.



The result is this starry Santa layout with pops of red!



This exclusive collection is only available until the end of this month. This Workshop Your Way collection can be yours for just $46NZD.  Individual components can be ordered from your CTMH consultant.

Oh Deer!

I am loving the new Oh Deer! Paper Packet for Christmas layouts, but I wanted to showcase its versatility as more than just a Christmas and Winter paper.

I was inspired by the Oh Deer! theme challenge at Heart 2 Heart and the sketch at Atlantic Hearts. I decided to create a layout using the star paper from the paper packet to create a Guy Fawkes themed layout.



The stars in the Oh Deer! Complements were perfect for the star embellishments, and I added a Zip Strip as well. The title was cut from my Cricut on Bamboo cardstock, and I will add the photos on the three round photo mats.



I love this swirly star paper, and it would also be great for birthdays and New Year themed layouts!

A Masculine Merry Monday

The challenge at Merry Monday is a great one this week- create a masculine Christmas card!


I found a die cut stag in the Oh Deer complements and built the card from there, using brown neutrals, woodgrain embossed Kraft cardstock and some Gold Foil Tape.



The sentiment was stamped in Desert Sand ink to keep the colour scheme monochromatic, and I finished off the card by adding some cream and gold sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!
