Merry Monday: Sleigh Bells Ring

I am thrilled to be the featured designer at Merry Monday this month!!  It's a wonderful team - they have been so welcoming and left such sweet comments on my first post last week.  And it's always fun to get a sneak peek at the challenges.


I was quite excited over this one because I have a charming set with animals that hadn't yet seen ink.  I fell in love with these deer as soon as I saw them.  That little fawn makes my heart go pitter-pat.   He's looking up at daddy deer with such awe.  You can also stamp dad without his antlers so he becomes mommy deer(!) - can you imagine the sweet scenes you could create with mom and baby.

Sleigh Bells Ring

I know you all have animal Christmas stamps.  And I know you all want a head-start on Christmas cards. So I look forward to seeing what you create!
  • Stamps: Mama Elephant Winter Wonderland
  • Paper: Stampin' Up Sahara Sand, Real Red
  • Ink: Stampin' Up Soft Suede, Sahara Sand, Real Red, Versamark
  • Accessories: Lawn Fawn twine, misc jingle bell and rhinestones (on the snowflakes), Wow Opaque Bright White Super Fine Embossing Powder (wow!  I think they need to shorten the name!)

  1. Ha, ha, that baby fawn is looking to see if it can escape the attention of daddy deer, ha, ha that's my guess, up to some mischief!
    But indeed you're right, this set is so cute and versatile! Love the birchtrees behind the image!!!
    Such a great way to add something extra!!!
    The colors you used are such a warm and perfect combo!
    Gorgeous sentiment too.
    The twine and tiny sleighbell around daddy's neck are great details.
    Very beautiful card!!!

  11. It seems every post you have stamps that haven't been inked yet. You must have a house full. ;) And not everyone has an animal stamp because I don't. I'll have to come up with something else. But about your card, it's darling. I love those birch trees in the background and the wonderful antlers on daddy.
