Dashing Deer - Stamp Review Crew

Welcome to the Dashing Deer edition of Stamp Review Crew! I love this bundle of products. My most favorite piece is this ornate deer die cut, it’s so pretty.

I decided to take a slightly different color approach for my first card. This card features the boarder piece from this stamp set to create a background in Stampin’ Up colors (Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron Bermuda Bay and Soft Sea foam) … a fun take on red and green. The deer is die cut from black card stock, and I love the stark contrast of black against the white/colors.

My second card is a project we made at our last card club. It uses the verse from the set and that beautiful die cut deer. I created a simple watercolor wash for the background. It also features a die from the Decorative Edgelits.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to comment. I love to hear from you! Up next is the super talented and inspiring Stesha! I can’t wait to see her take on this set.

What is the Stamp Review Crew? We are an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that gets together to do a blog hop on the first and third Monday of each month. For each hop we chose a single stamp set to feature. We have a blog with all of the hops archived. You can hop through any hop, any time. Click here to see all of the hops!

Alpine Adventure - Repost of Stampin' Up! FB page.

Note: this is repost of a FB note post that first appeared on Stampin’ Up!’s facebook page on October 11th.

Hello friends! Are you ready to go on a little adventure ... an Alpine Adventure? I had a blast playing around with the wintery images in this stamp set with the Stamparatus and am excited to share a few ideas with you.

I’m a big fan of winter sports so I was thrilled to see the Alpine Adventure Photopolymer Bundle (item 149919)in the Holiday catalog. The bundle includes 17 stamp images and 12 dies.

Creating this perfectly repeating snowshoe background was a breeze using the Stamparatus (item 146276). The snowshoe stamp image is the perfect size to repeat using the hinge step. The snowshoe has been stamped in Gray Granite Classic ink(item 147118) onto a piece of Gray Granite cardstock (item 146983).  Stamp one row of snowshoes with the snowshoe faced up (ink image, stamp, move hinge). Then align the snowshoe stamp in the open area upside down to create the second row (ink image, stamp, move hinge). Continue this process until the entire sheet is covered with snowshoes.

This bundle is full of great support images. I added a couple of die cut snowflakes, jingle bells, a greeting and a bow. Then I layered the assembled card front onto a piece of Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper(item 147820) to finish the card.  

Here’s another card using the snowshoe to create a similar background. This time the snowshoe image has been stamped in Bermuda Bay Classic Ink(item 147096) on Whisper White Cardstock(item 100730). The greeting has been stamped in Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink (item 147083) and layered onto the background. This card also uses Cherry Cobbler 1/4" Double-Stitched Ribbon(item 144117), which I think coordinates perfectly with the designs this stamp set.

Here are a few more cards showcasing this bundle.

Hope you’ve enjoyed this little set sampler. It’s nice to have some winter play without the cold fingers and toes. Have a great day!
