Jolly Friends with a jingle

Today’s card was CASEd from the Holiday catalogue – from the card that made me get the Jolly Friends stamp set on page 29. I love the crumb cake tone on tone stamping of the moose and decided that I needed to make a card that way.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Jolly Friends - Jolly Hat Builder Punch

One moose is stamped in early espresso and I then stamped that again on a piece of scrap and cut him out. All I had to do then was build up Rudolph. I used the jolly hat builder punch which coordinates with the stamp set to cut out a hat and bobble out of real red but used the bobble as Rudolph’s red nose. This gave me the perfect opportunity to use a jingle bell as the bobble which I attached with a glue dot – it still jingles. I love these embellishments! I’ve got a tag swap on Thursday (which I only remembered last night) and I think it will feature jingle bells. For some glitz, I cut out the brim from gold glimmer paper – if you’re careful, it’s easy to just cut out the brim, thus saving the glimmer paper, although there’s nothing wrong with cutting out the whole thing and making more hats! I popped Rudolph up with dimensionals and then put my crumb cake layer onto a real red card base. I used the Holly TIEF to dry emboss my envelope flap – I love this look but I really should use the folder on a card one of these days.
