This card was made for Craft Roulette #239 whose parameters included an interactive card, picnic colors, farm element, and paper strips.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: I used a purchased A6 (4.5 x 6.25-inch) cardbase and envelope.
Stable & Reindeer: Using the Reindeer Stable die set by Scrapping Cottage, cut the stable base from red cardstock and inked the edges with brown ink. All the other pieces were cut from white cardstock and colored. The weathervane was cut twice and glued together to reinforce the tiny piece. I made my own wire wobbler springs using thin florist wire and gluing them in place.
Flying Reindeer Mechanism: Using dies by Whimsy Stamps kinetic collection, I eventually figured out how to make the reindeer fly over the stable using the die cut paper strips and foam dots. (Watch the tutorial to see how I made it.)
Snow: Avry Elle white ink spray was used to cover the card with splatters of snow. (I had to color over the facial details and shading on the reindeer after spraying.) The trees have white gel pen to place snow accumulation at the end of the branches.
Sentiments: All the winter sentiments stamped in black ink are from Waffle Flower. The “Pull” and arrow are tiny stamps from My Favorite Things.
Envelope: The card fits into an A6 (4.5x 6.25-inches) size envelope With “Let It Snow” on the back flap.
