This is a card I did for a challenge on The Cuttlebug Spot. The only requirements were to make a Christmas card and use the Cuttlebug to emboss it.
Front of the Deer Card for Christmas in July Challenge
I recently received one of the new Cuttlebug Embossing Plus folders which cuts and embosses at the same time. I thought this would be a good time to try it out. The one I have is called Lace Door, and I used it as a frame.
After cutting out the Lace Door, I inked the edges and heat embossed it using some sparkly embossing powder. Behind the cut I used a Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page set called Gothic Arches. On the top and bottom of the frame I added a border using one of Spellbinders Borderabilities, Fleur de Lis.
Inside the frame, I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the snow and added some cuts using my Cricut. I cut the little deer from Cindy Loo and the trees and poinsettias are from Winter Woodland.
Everything except the deer is cut from plain white cardstock and the color is inked on. I edged the flowers using a silver leafing pen and added Stickles for the centers. I also added some Skittles as accents on the top corners of the frame.
The inside sentiment is cut with my Cricut using Cindy Loo. Again, lots of inking on the inside.
