For this hop, I was asked to feature the A Holy Holiday stamp set. I used the reindeer, berry (for the nose), large snowflake and two-part sentiment. The mini tag is from the Holly Jolly stamp set and the small snowflake is from the Just For You stamp set, both of which are also from this release.

The birch tree background was created with the Autumn Groves stamp set. The sky and hills were created with a combination of the Borders 1, Stitched and Quotables dies.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to check the Paper Smooches Blog on Monday to see if you are one of the lucky winners!!

  1. Hey Emily! I love your embossed reindeer. He is so cute with that little red nose. I love how you used vellum. Great card. Thank you for sharing.

  2. Damien is becoming a very creative little guy by watching and helping you, Emily! I love the pretty scene you and he have fashioned together. Thanks for the video.

  3. This card is AMAZING!!! What an absolutely WONDERFUL holiday card!! Love the birch trees in the background with the reindeer-embossed vellum hovering over it!!! GORGEOUS!!!

  4. Just loved that you combined stamp sets to make such a beautiful winter scene. This came out so pretty. Tell your son he made great suggestions for your card. 🙂

  5. Wow, I'm glad I watched your video. My mind is such brimming with ideas to stamp on vellum and use it; not just as an overlay, but a varitable extra dimension on the card. Now I know how to get a dioramic effect on my cards! Thanks for the adorable card and great ideas!

  6. Such a darling card Emily!!! I love this reindeer–he's unique from any others I have, yay!!! Super cute and thanks so much for your wonderful inspiration!

  7. Such a great card! I love that you go with your son's ideas. I have a 4 year old daughter who LOVES to make cards with me, so I can relate! She tends to have lots of opinions. 🙂

  8. I had to know how you did this great scene! I'm so in awe that you just did it as you went, although I realize you had your expert consultant there with you;-)! TFS!

  9. ADORABLE card Emily!!!
    LOVE EACH & EVERY layer, from your FABULOUS tree-filled background & sparkling hill, to your CUTE red-nosed reindeer & falling snowflakes, LOVE IT ALL!!!
    It is even more special because your son helped – how SWEET is that 🙂
    THANK YOU for sharing your CREATIVE INSPIRATION!!!

  10. I really like the background on this card. And the cute little red nose on the deer and the red mini tag really pop. Thanks for sharing.

  11. LOVE your SWEET card. What a great design. Thanks for sharing your talents and your time.
