Prepare card by folding ½ x 51/2” off white cardstock in half. Crease fold with a bone folder. Set aside.


Choose four pieces of wallpaper. Number them from one to four.


Cut wallpaper #1, 4” x 41/4”. Adhere to card front leaving a 1/8” border at the top and both sides. Set aside.


From wallpaper #2, trace a rectangle 41/4” x 11/2” using a pencil. Rip along one 41/4” length. Cut the rest with scissors. Glue with straight edge along the bottom. Set aside.


Using the postage stamp punch, punch three pieces from off white cardstock. Swipe with matching ink. Adhere evenly across the bottom of the card on wallpaper #2. Add a snowflake punched from wallpaper #4 to each postage stamp square. Set aside.


Cut a tag from wallpaper #3. Mount onto off white cardstock. Trim close. Edge with ink. Set aside.


Cut a rectangle 13/4” x 21/4” from off white cardstock. Edge with ink. Punch a snowflake at the bottom left corner. Glue to the bottom portion of the tag. Adhere the punched snowflake to the top of the tag. Punch a mitt from wallpaper #4 and glue to tag. Set aside.

M186 Joy to the World

This reindeer is off a napkin that my daughter had at Christmas. I thought he was so cute that I had to snitch a few to make cards with!

I used the Napkin Transfer technique: I peeled my napkin apart so that I only had the printed piece, no other layers. I cut roughly around the reindeer then I painted a scrap of white cardstock the same size as the deer with Mod Podge and quickly applied my napkin to it as it dries fast. Once I felt it was good and dry, I cut it out then painted right over the deer to help prevent the edges from lifting.
