My second post for the day and this one features a Bugaboo Stamps reindeer. There's a back story to this which I want to share. A friend and fellow DT member used the prettiest quilting die on a card last week and I fell in love with the die. I emailed her and, being a good enabler, she shared with me a link to the online shop where she had gotten hers.
When I visited, my plan was to mind my budget and buy only that one die. But... well, if you're a true crafter, you already know what happened. I saw another quilt die that I liked, couldn't decide between them so they both went into my cart. Then I noticed that if I purchased additional products, I could get free shipping and the shipping cost was pretty much the same as another die (ok, maybe two), so when all was said and done, I had 5 new die sets in the cart!
I used one of them as the background on this card, turned as they say in quilting, 'on point.'
Colored with ProMarkers & sequins added for sparkle
Image cut with double stitched die from CUTplorations
Quilted die from Gina Marie
Sentiment die from Die-Namics
Flocked star from Deja Views
Glitter added to some of the quilting pieces

A true crafter, for sure! Adorable reindeer image on this holiday card! Thanks for joining the Double D, "Featured" Challenge.
Well, I always blame the other person as the enabler even if I only went to the site to purchase one item. You're right, we do know how that goes. LOL! I quilted before I made cards but the shoulder won't let me quilt any longer. I miss it. I miss picking out the beautiful fabrics. It literally took me hours to pick out fabric.
Cute card. Love this Bugaboo reindeer. He's got the greatest face. [Bunny]
I am smiling, this reindeer is so stinking cute. Love the blue color and your design. Thanks for joining in the fun at Double D Challenge "Feature".
