I know its early for snowy greeting cards, but with the heat here in Houston at 102 degrees today' I really wanted an image that felt cooler than what we're facing outdoors.  Plus, I'm in love with the designer series papers from the  Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Collection, one of the items from the Online Exclusive Collection.  You won't find this in any of the Stampin' Up! catalogs.  It's only available on the Stampinup.com website.  The One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper Pack includes both scenic and patterned prints, making it ideal for layering, die cutting or creating beautiful forest scenes.  My color theme today is Pebbled Path and Pool Party, which matched the colors in the print from the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper used on my card.  I used the Grove Dies to die cut the two deer out of Pebble Path Cardstock, and I again used Pebble Path for the sentiment shapes.  One sentiment is die cut using Nested Essential dies and the other is die cut using Stylish Shapes Dies.  The largest Pool Party layer is dry embossed using the retired Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder, but only because I couldn't find my current Timber 3D Embossing Folder.  To finish my card I added three pearls from the Red and Green Adhesive Backed Pearls.  These tiny pears add a light airy touch to the scene.

The basecard for this card is Pebbled Pearls.  Then a layer of Pool Party dry embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder, although I used my retired Pinewood Planks because I couldn't find my Timber Embossing Folder...sigh.  Then my image area is a print from the One Horse Open Sligh 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper.  It is matted in Pool Party and then in Pebble Path.

Next, I used the Grove Dies to die cut the large deer and baby deer out of Pebble Path.  I glued them flat to the image area.  They didn't need to be raised on Dimensionals.    

Greeting cards with a snowy forest and deer using Stampin' Up! Very Best Occasions and Grove Dies



To  complete my card, I  used the Stylish Shape Dies and the Nested Essentials Dies to die cut shapes for my stamped sentiments.  I used two different sentiments from the Very Best Occasions Stamp Set.  I stamped them in VersaMark ink, covered them with White Embossing Powder, and set the powder with my Heat Tool.  To finish my card, I added one three of the tiny pearls from the Red & Green Adhesive-backed Pearls pack.
