Hello friends! Today’s cards are all about a cooler season … if you are in the midst of a heat wave like we are, I bet that sounds pretty good! DASHING REINDEER REGISTRATION PRESS PLATE & DIE SET is such an awesome set. It is perfect for making quick and easy, one-layer cards or the dies can be used to create a dimensional look.
The registration template included with the DASHING REINDEER set allows for different ink colors to be used on the image. For the one layer card, the deer was pressed with Black ink and the the scarf and ornaments with Versamark so they could be embossed in gold. For the dimensional card, I used a combination of Black and Tawny BetterPress inks for the deer. The black was used to add in shading. The scarf and ornaments were pressed with Strawberry ink.
For the card above, the deer and sentiment were pressed on Porcelain BetterPress A2 Cotton Card Panel. These elements and black sheet foam were cut with the coordinating dies and stacked.
The background was created with the ‘Night’ press plate from Pines Night & Day Press Plates. This is a really cool set!!! The plate was inked with a combination of Cosmos Sky and Black BetterPress ink and pressed on green card stock.
The deer was adhered and the panel spattered with Spatter White Opague Water Color and adhered to an A2 sized, black card base.
The sentiment was added after the spattering along with white confetti finished off with Nuvo Stone Drops Chalk White. They look like little snowballs!
AThe deer and sentiment were pressed onto red card stock, the panel was cut with a die from Arch Labels & Tag.
The next larger die was used to cut mirror gold card stock from the Treasured Card Stock Gold Assortment. The card front was layered on it and then adhered to an A2 sized, black card base.
The card was embellished with gold confetti finished off with Nuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew.
