Hello Crafty Friends,

I hope you are having a great week.  Can you believe it is almost the end of November?  Where has the month gone?  We are getting closer and closer to Christmas and the most wonderful time of the year.

Today I want to share a card with you that was a hit at my last card class and I think it was because of this cute little deer.



I made the candy cane background using the Stripe Band Die from Fun Stampers Journey and die cut from Cranberry Bliss Cardstock and layered it over a piece of Whip Cream Cardstock.

I attached the strip to the card with a little bit of glue and then used the Happy Holidays Washi Tape to the edges to help hold it down.  The deer is popped up over the die as well, helping to hold it on.

Supplies Used:  You can get the supplies here.
Stamp: Merry Everything from Fun Stampers Journey
Cardstock: Fun Stampers Journey
Washi Tape: Recollections
Twine: Fun Stampers Journey
