More Merry Moose

Leave a reply

I had an idea for my next card with the Merry Moose bundle – a silhouette of trees and a snow covered moose. Did I pull it off? Let me know what you think.

First I stamped the trees in Stazon. Then I used some oval dies to create a mask for the snow mounds and held them in place as I brayered blushing bride over the card. Then I used daubers to add balmy blue and night of navy. The snowfall puff paint added some dimension to the top of the snow banks and then I added a moose punched out in Sparkle glimmer paper – he’s a lot more sparkly in real life.

Edit: As of a few days ago, the Merry Moose punch was no longer available for ordering. This means that it was more popular than Stampin’ Up! predicted so I hope that you were one of the people who snapped it up.

Merry Moose Bundle

Leave a reply

The Merry Moose bundle consists of the Merry Moose 17 piece photopolymer stamp set and the Moose punch (153015 for $31.50). I kept my first card with this bundle fairly simple but there are options to dress up the moose in a scarf or add a hat to the racoon!

I used old olive as my green for this card and after experimenting, stamped the body of the moose in crumb cake and the outline and details in early espresso. I found it easiest to line up the 2 stamp stamping by stamping the outline first. I punched him out and popped him up adding a crumb cake mat to pull the colours together.

Old olive and crumb cake are a fairly unusual Christmas color combo but I think it works. It’s rather soothing which reflects the sentiment.

Snowman Seasons Duo

After I’d made last Wednesday’s card with the Snowman Seasons, I wondered about putting two of the snowmen together. I think it worked really well.

I used memento tuxedo black ink and then a few blends (dark poppy parade and light pumpkin pie) to add little pops of colour. I had to make the scarf red and white to show support for the Welsh rugby team! I also added some clear wink of Stella to the snowmen for some glimmer – despite photographing the card at an angle, I was unable to show the glimmer, but it’s there! Some rhinestones for our friend on the left to juggle and one of the sets sentiments finished off the front. I added a mat of poppy parade and a thick whisper white card base.
