Just popping in for a quick share today!  If you didn’t see yesterday, quick reminder to check out the Year-End Closeout List and Sale.  Many items are while supplies last and I’ve seen a couple updated clearance rack items sell out already.  So, you want to make sure you check it out sooner rather than later!

OK, PSA done, now back to the card.   I love the Foxy Friends stamp set, but I especially love how you can make it something different than a fox!

This reindeer was just easy to put together rand I just used Crumb Cake for his body and Soft Suede for the antlers and feet.  Isn’t he cute?  Then just pair it up with one of the patterns from the Presents & Pinecones designer paper and some of the holiday ribbon.

One tip, when you are looking at adding embellishments and accents to your cards, if you are like me… you tend to get hung up looking at stuff that is marketed as the theme of what you are doing.  So the ribbons that come with the birthday suite, or in this case, ribbons from the Holiday Catalog.  But don’t forget your other supplies you have gotten other times of the year!  I had this Gold trim ribbon from the annual catalog that was just the perfect touch to go with my gold word (from the Christmas Greetings thinlits)

A little bit of sponging… I’m slightly addicted to my sponge daubers… using Crumb Cake ink around the designer paper and the white cardstock, and you have a simple but sweet card.

A Tip about Bundles from the Holiday Catalog

Just a heads up since I’ve seen some confusion from folks.  Stampin’ Up has changed how they offer discounted bundles (where a stamp set is sold with the coordinating punch or framelit).  When they come out, you can get them on sale for 10% off both, but once the catalog containing the bundle ends, the discounted prices go away too!

For example:

•  The Santa’s Sleigh bundle is available at a discount in the Holiday Catalog
• When the holiday catalog ends January 3rd, the stamp set and the framelits will continue to be available
• But, starting January 4th, you will not be able to buy them together at a discount

So if you wanted any of the bundles from the Holiday catalog, I recommend getting them now while you can still get the sale price!  Email me at jennifer@nwstamper.com if you have any questions or need help!
