1. Die-cut the deer twice from white cardstock, and once from red plaid paper. Stacked and glued (*1) the white die-cuts, and inlaid the red die-cut.
2. Die-cut the sentiment twice from white cardstock and glued (*1) the pieces together.
3. Die-cut the stars.
4. Die-cut the panel from green plaid paper.
5. Glued the die-cut images and sentiment onto the panel.
6. Adhered the whole panel to the front white card panel, and debossed the stitched lines above and below the green plaid panel.
7. Glued the front panel onto the card base.
(*1) The deer outline and the sentiment are thin and small, so I actually used a thin double-sided adhesive sheet instead of liquid glue.

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous clean design Hideko! The green plaid background is so pretty with the red plaid deer head - a beautiful die - and I love the XXXX above the below the green panel! xx
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Hideko. Amazing how you’ve combined two different plaid patterns/colours to complement each other. I’ve seen that SSS holiday sentiment die, but it never caught my attention until now. Enabler alert! š
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful my friend!
ReplyDeleteLove the fact that you used both red and green plaids! And what a fabulous card design - great use of the cross-stitch and stitching dies, and the Merry Christmas die.
