This week, I took on a fun creative challenge—designing a
card in real time with the stunning Fragrant Forest stamp set. This beautiful,
single-stamp design features a forest of trees, perfect for creating bold and
timeless cards.
For this project, I used Old Olive cardstock, Old Olive and Memento black ink,
but the real fun was letting the design unfold as I went. From selecting sizes
and colors to navigating unexpected "oops" moments, it was all part
of the journey.
Sometimes the best cards come from experimenting, and I
wanted to bring you along to see my process—the good, the bad, and the
adjustments in between.

I’m so excited to share this week’s projects featuring the Reindeer
Fun Stamps & Dies. This versatile set is perfect for holiday crafting,
and today I’m showing you how to create two festive cards—including a
clever gift card holder that’s sure to impress!
Project 1: Gift Card Holder
Need a creative way to present a gift card? This project has you covered! Using the same Reindeer Fun Stamps & Dies, I created a festive card that doubles as a gift card holder. It’s the perfect blend of practical and adorable!
Alternative Tip:Use the dies to cut images directly from the DSP for quick and easy embellishments
Project 2: Layered Reindeer Card
For the second card, I showcased many of the 'Reindeer Fun' dies to create an
adorable dimensional card. By combining stamping and die-cutting, the
reindeer really pops off the card! To add even more charm, I made this card into a gift card holder.
Tips:
The dies make
it easy to add layers for a 3D look.
Don’t forget to
mix and match patterns from the DSP to create a cohesive but fun layout!
