Spellbinders Tinsel Time Christmas Pajamas Card Tutorial

What is more festive than cute Christmas pajamas?

Each year for Christmas, my family all get new pajamas. They aren't always Christmasy or wintery, but it's a tradition I look forward to.

Spellbinders has released their super adorable Tinsel Time collection and I felt this darling Dancin' Deer die was perfect for creating a Christmas pajama inspired holiday card! And the legs of these cuties actually swing back and forth. I love interactive cards!

For this card, I wanted to use some non-traditional holiday colors. So I pulled out my Peppermint Patterned Paper pad and selected the fun stripe pattern for the body, arms and legs of the deer. I also selected another pattern from the stack to serve as the background for the card and trimmed it down to 1/4 of an inch less than an A2 size (so it could be matted with cardstock) and then added some stitching. 

For the cardstock, I used the Peppermint Smooth Cardstock pad (the pinks and aqua), the Christmas Smooth Cardstock pad (black), the Sherbet Smooth Cardstock pad (pink) and Spellbinders Alabaster, Portobello and Pomegranate cardstock. For a bit of dimension, I added coordinating shades of Distress Oxide Ink to some of my die cuts with a domed foam blender. (I used Kitsch Flamingo, Cracked Pistachio and Vintage Photo.)

I layered up my deer die cuts, using Distress Collage Medium and Foam Circles  to adhere them to the background. I also cut a cute little floral from the Christmas Blooms die set to add on to the little girl deer. For the sentiment, I cut out "Merry Christmas" from the Tinsel Time Sentiments set and added it on with a little foam adhesive. 

I then mounted my background onto the coordinating smooth cardstock I chose and distressed the edges of the patterned paper a little for a bit of texture. To finish the card off, I added a sparkly Opal gem to the center of the flower and some Ruby Pops of Color to their little red noses! Until next time, happy crafting!
