Detailed Deer Thinlit Dies from Stampin' Up!

  • Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper
  • Timeless Tidings Sentiment
  • $5 Paper Pumpkin Kit Flash Sale

Detailed Deer Thinlit Dies from Stampin' Up! 


Today's card features the Stampin' Up! Detailed Deer Thinlit Dies and the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper.  This Designer Series Paper coordinates with the Gray Granite and Cherry Cobbler Cardstock. I love working with the Detailed Deer Thinlits and the coordinating Dashing Deer stamp set.  I think they are my favorites out of the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.       

  



The basecard is Cherry Cobbler cardstock.  The next layer is Gray Granite.  Then a layer of the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper.  

I used the Detailed Deer Thinlit dies to cut the deer.  And I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits to cut the Whisper White Oval.  

The Three snowflakes are a stamp from the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set.   
   




The sentiment is stamped in Timeless Tidings, and is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink.  The accents are Clear Faceted Gems.

A quick tip for using your Stamparatus

  • Stampin' Up! Stamparatus Tip
  • Stamparatus Accessories Pack now available
  • Get Ten percent off World Card Day Select Items
  • Three card classes for World Card Day

Stamparatus Tip 


If you've ever stamped a large number of cards with die cuts, this tip is for you.  

Instead of stamping all of your images and then fussing with your Big Shot and sticky notes to ensure your die cuts are aligned as you cut your stack of images, change your workflow and do this instead.           

  
 Stamparatus helps you perfectly align stamp images and get complete ink coverage



First die cut all your images, like the deer above.  Then create a template for your Stamparatus stamp positioning tool.  

 Stamparatus Stamp Positioning Tool



Then, position you stamp so it stamps exactly where the die cut sits and close your plate over the stamp. 

 Stamparatus helps you align stamp images and get complete ink coverage


Then, place your die cut into the template opening, ink your stamp, and stamp your die cut.  Remove your stamped die cut, add another blank to the opening, ink your stamp and stamp again.  

You'll find you're able to stamp a stack of blank die cuts very quickly, which is just want you need when you're creating a stack of Holiday cards.  

Look closely at the photos above and you'll see I'm using the new Stamparatus Small Grid Paper to protect my Stamparatus mat.  Stampin' Up! introduced several new Stamparatus accessories, including extra plates, Small Grid Paper, and foam mats.   These items can be purchased individually, or they can be purchased as an Stamparatus Accessories Pack I'm so happy to have these extra plates, which make stamping detailed cards so much faster! 

 Stamparatus Accessories Pack 151049

Holiday Catalog.  Order your holiday stamp set and dies plus your Stamparatus and Stamparatus Accessories soon, so you'll have them in plenty of time to create your hand made holiday cards.  Or join one of my classes listed below to get a jump start on your holiday projects.
