Dasher.....

Remember our deer Dasher that we used so much last Christmas?  Well, we're at it again.  This is a beautiful stamp and so easy to use.  I had this beautiful designer paper with deer on it that just went with Lucky Limeade so I decided to use it and add our own Dasher!  He coordinates so well with the design on the paper.  Yes, it's a simple card, but sometimes it's hard to improve on simple.

 I added small gold "bling" onto each of the curls on Dasher's antlers.  And of course he had to get one on his nose!

 Stampin' Up! new Ruffled Ribbon is great on this card.  I also added three gold "blings" on each side of the sentiment.  I thought that would set it off nicely!  Do you like it??

All these Christmas cards are getting me in the Christmas mood, but never fear---I will have Halloween samples to show you soon.  I've been busy making some cute Halloween cards, too. 

See you another day!! Smiles, Laura

Dasher....

You know, I was thinking I haven't posted a card using Dasher all winter.  I used him last year alot for my Christmas cards.  Then I got to checking and realized that Dasher is a retired stamp!  How sad!  I usually don't demonstrate in class nor post cards with retired stamps but I have on occasion.  So I'll post this card.

This one is the same layout I posted yesterday--card, matting and top layer using the Northern Flurry embossing folder.  Again I put the sentiment in the lower right hand corner and the image in a matted circle.  But look how different this one is!  I used Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla for this one. 

There's no limit to what you could do with this layout--any sentiment and any image.  Go try it yourself!
Smiles, Laura

Ed.note:  Thanks to Jennifer and Vicky for reminding me that Dasher is not retired!!  I just missed him in my catalog---I THOUGHT he was current but couldn't find him when I posted this.  Thanks, ladies.
