Cheerful Reindeer

Mornin' y'all!  I'm squeezing in a quick blog post before I get in the kitchen and start the whirlwind of Thanksgiving prep.  On the menu today are pumpkin praline pie, pecan pie, creamy lemon pie, and cherry pie filling.  Maybe something else, I'm not looking at my list right now : )

But first, a quick card!


Check out the speed stamping challenge from As You See It:


I chose a pattern from the Reindeer Days DSP with trees on it and planned out my card from there.  The main reindeer is from another print and didn't cut out quite straight but I was in a hurry.  Here's my final time:


Add in the TGIF Challenges technique:


I was thinking of these two cards I made earlier this month since they both featured tearing for an Atlantic Hearts sketch and that's a quick thing to add to a card.  And I managed to hit quite a few elements in the Festive Friday challenge:


I got red, green, gold, embossing, trees, and Christmas sentiment--pretty good for under 10 minutes!  Of course, here's what my table looked like in the craftermath:


Might have taken me longer to clean up my table than it did to make the card : )

Okay, we have a plumber on the way to look at the pipes leading up to the shower so I'm going to take Daphne for a walk while he's here (the hubs can deal with the plumber).  Then it's pie prep time!  Cheers, y'all!

What a cheerful card to have made under such a time constraint! You're braver than me to take on heat embossing with a speed challennge! Pretty paper is a real time saving tip. Thanks for taking on the challenge at As You See It.

I love that you balanced out fussy cutting with some time-saving paper tearing for added detail but I am right with you - DSP is a go-to when there's the need for speed! Thanks for playing along with us over at As You See It this week!

How you managed to fit in a card with all that pie making (sounds yummy btw) I have no idea! I love the pop of red on the reindeer and how you tied that to the sentiment. Adding the touch of gold was a fabulous finishing touch. So glad you shared this with us at Festive Friday this week
